Efforts to bring regulated online poker to North Dakota and allow the state to enter into liquidity sharing deals with other online poker states continued to advance this week in Bismarck.
On Monday, the Senate Finance and Taxation Committee heard arguments in favor of a proposal to put online poker up to the voters of the state, along with a companion bill to implement the will of the people. The House passed the measures earlier this year, and now the Senate has them for consideration.
The man spearheading the efforts is state Rep. Jim Kasper. Kasper, a Republican who said Monday that his proposal is “very simple.”
With only about 760,000 people, North Dakota is a state that would benefit enormously from entering into a compact with states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, which all have regulated online poker.
Delaware and Nevada also have it. West Virginia has it legalized, but there isn’t a regulated poker site yet. States like Indiana and Connecticut are considering it.
The 2021 legislative session is slated to end April 28, so about six weeks remain to pass the proposals. site in the coming years.
