United States: Towards a common liquidity on online poker in Nevada
As part of the implementation of a good regulation of online gambling market, the Gaming Commission of Nevada is considering a bill called the "Assembly Bill 5," a bill that aims to implement a common liquidity between American states that have already legalized online poker market. With the current law, operators licensed in this state may have difficulty to have profit because the market is rather small. In fact, Nevada has only 2.7 million inhabitants. And anyone know how many of them are keen of online poker and how many are willing to play in the internet version of this game. Thus, local authorities will discuss about this new bill on February 4. If it gets a majority vote, the Governor of Nevada will conduct the search for a common agreement with other governors of states with regulated online poker how this sharing of liquidity can be integrated in terms of tax and administrative.
Apart from Nevada, Delaware is the only U.S. state where online poker is already legal. The bill was signed by the Governor in June 2012. It remains therefore to continue the legal process to realize the project. In the other hand, California and New Jersey are in negotiations. In New Jersey, the final decision belong to the Governor Chris Christie who already opposed once to the regulation of the market. His verdict will be unveiled within 45 days.
