Nevada & New Jersey Online Poker Network Finally Coming?NO Deposit bonus $43

online pokerAt the Friday May 13 meeting of the Nevada Gaming Policy Committee, Governor Brian Sandoval said that he was willing to sign an interstate compact to share online poker liquidity with New Jersey immediately. “I’m able to go,” said the governor, adding, “It’s a win-win for both states.”

The governor was immediately backed by A.G. Burnett, the chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Burnett said that he was “ready, willing and able” to sign an interstate agreement with New Jersey. The Policy Committee was clearly unsure as to why New Jersey was not equally enthusiastic.

The committee told the governor, who was chairing the meeting, that New Jersey had expressed constitutional concerns over the site of online poker game servers. A.G Burnett replied that the problem was a “red herring” that might easily be solved. The committee was enjoined to explore the problem further, in time for the following meeting in October, however the stumbling block could be political as opposed to practical.

In November 2014, David Rebuck, Director of the brand new Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), gave an interview (paywall) to a Philadelphia newspaper during which he said that discussions at the issue had already taken place with Nevada. The DGE had also discussed the problem with regulators within the UK. Unless the DGE was enthusiastic about the possibility, no discussions would has been initiated.

Rebuck’s support for shared liquidity may also be deduced, but in public statements he can only say that there's no deal imminent for “reciprocal agreements to expand online gambling.”
