Just weeks after crackdown on the online poker industry in the United States, Nevada’s state Assembly passed a bill proposing a licensing process to regulate online poker operators. The measures contained in the bill can only become effective after (and if) online gambling is legalised on a federal level. Experts describe the online gambling industry in the U.S. as a legally grey area which fact gave rise to so many controversies and eventually lead to a seizure of the biggest poker websites, a move no one previously believed could actually happen. The new bill is also backed by PokerStars who allegedly donated money to sponsor political campaigns in Nevada, however, local lawmakers insist they were unaware of PokerStars being based outside the U.S. as a company and say the money was returned.
