North Dakota House Approves Online Poker Resolution

11 March 2005

The state of North Dakota passed a resolution providing for a citizen referendum to decide whether or not to amend the constitution to allow internet poker. The House already approved a bill to allow internet poker last month, but in order to change the state constitution the measure must pass review by the citizens themselves.

Companies currently manage operations offshore, due to fears that online betting is illegal based on the ambiguous Wire act of 1961. Supporters of the bill, however, posit that the Wire Act does not pertain to online poker. If North Dakota's residents decide in favor of online poker, companies will be able move their operations to the state.

Some fear that, should the measure pass, the federal government will shoot down the bill, which could measure up to a pricey legislative battle for North Dakota. A similar situation occurred in the case of Nevada, which approved legislation making internet poker legal, however the measure failed to get the necessary approval from the Department of Justice. Under President Bush, and Former President Clinton before him, online poker violates the law.
