Busy festive season for the US state's regulators
An announcement from the Nevada regulators this week imply that they will be quite busy throughout December, as they will hold at least two more meetings to discuss the finalization of regulations for intrastate online poker.
Namely, it has been reported that the state Gaming Control Board will meet in Carson City where it is to consider a new set of regulatory drafts for the industry.
"A bill that was signed into law in June mandates the Nevada Gaming Commission to adopt regulations by the end of January 2012 — making February the earliest possible time a real-money poker site could be operational," it has been noted in the media this week.
In addition, the Control Board has apparently presented new versions of six separate regulations to the public via their website. They are reported to contain a few changes, such as a new provision that restricts licensees from offering the game to a pool of players across a multi-room poker network unless authorized by state officials.
Apart from this week's meeting, another one will be held on December 22. According to the board chairman Mark Lipparelli, the regulations might be finalized and adopted by the end of the year, but that is most likely to happen by the end of January 2012.
