Internet Poker Bill Killed in North Dakota Senate

23 March 2005

After much deliberation, the North Dakota state Senate has struck down its much anticipated internet poker bill. The senate voted overwhelmingly to defeat the bill, with only three members voting in favor of internet poker. After scraping by in the house, with a vote of 49-43, many online gaming industry members and local supporters were hopeful that the bill would reap similarly favorable results in the senate.

One of the main factors influencing the senate's ruling is pressure from the U.S. Justice department, which claimed that internet gambling was illegal according to federal laws. According to the DOJ, internet poker is included in the category of illegal online gambling. Due to the DOJ's approach and the legal battle that could have resulted from legalizing internet poker, North Dakota's Attorney General and Governor both refused to enforce the resolution.

Had North Dakota passed the bill, it would have established a wholly regulated licensing commission via the state Attorney General's office. Through the commission, a separate platform and treasury would have been created by which funds generated from internet poker would have been taxed.
