Numerous online gaming industry officials, professional players and legislators have convened in North Dakota's capital city, Bismarck, to support a bill that is currently under review by the state legislature to license and regulate online poker for the state's residence. No other state currently holds such legislation.
Industry lobbyists include CEO of the UK-based Sportingbet Nigel Payne, CEO of Card Player Magazine's online site, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman as well as state legislator Frank Catania, the former director of the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement who currently serves as independent director of online gaming regulatory body eCOGRA. Even eCOGRA itself issued a statement in support for the online poker bill. A North Dakota Native, 2004 World Series of Poker winner Greg Raymer also came to lobby for the cause.
The bill has already passed in North Dakota's House of Representatives and expects a verdict from the state Senate today. Supporters of the bill say that it will allow authorities to regulate and tax internet poker. With or without this legislation, the industry is likely to continue to grow, however, the legislation will help industry professionals better prevent problems associated with gambling.
