Did the PPA provide any comments or other input on behalf of players to the regulatory process in Nevada ?

(No one from the PPA appeared at the NGC meeting to offer final comments on December 22.)

What comments did the PPS provide earlier on behalf of members, if any ?

How does the PPA plan to represent players with respect to anticipated further tweaking of the approved Nevada regs ?

Is such representation in State level regulatory matters important enough to the PPA mission to provide some resources to the matter ?

Is there a Nevada state director?

Think I should volunteer ?

Yes. (If there isn't one already.)

If there isn't one, and you are willing to, yes.

Even if there is a Nevada state director, there needs to be a better organization in Nevada. And California. And everywhere else.

I just came here to write this exact same post.

The PPA should already have a checklist of essential regulations and a checklist of regs they hope to see.

NV is taking comments from players on 2+2, but yet I haven't heard anything from PPA.

Something so obvious like requiring multi factor authentication to log in was not included in the regs. It's only required after 3 failed password attempts.

The number one reason any poker player wants regulation is consumer protection. Requiring the sites to use multi factor authentication seems so obvious.

Hey, TE, what about it ?

LG and PX have posted an opinion.

One thing that's currently happening is that the proposed regulations are being discussed in a thread on Two Plus Two located here. And we understand that this thread is being followed by at least one member of the Nevada Gaming Commission.

I think you would make a great volunteer. I'm also sure TE would enjoy having you as his assistant.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the endorsement.

still no response to this (talking about PPA input on regulations, not talking about DQ as the director in NV)? This is unacceptable

Want is the story with NV and On line Poker. I have been out of the loop for a while and have not heard anything. All we can hope for is On line gambling in made legal and regulated in US.

Nevada has passed a bill for online poker in their state. They're working on regulations now and should be handing out licenses to operators some time in early 2012.

Nevada Regulations were already sapproved on December 22d. Licenses will be approved for operators in a couple of months, my bet is before May 1, 2012. There is room for tweaking, in the regulatory sense not the drug abuse sense, especially where topics are not mentioned explicitly. The NGC is open to getting input.

An added element arose on December 23, when DOJ's position on the Wire Act was restated, to put it diplomatically, to exclude coverage of online poker.

Thus, it may be that Nevada licensees will be able to pool players releatively soon with international pools perhaps, and with those states which might see a benefit to joining up with Nevada's operators/network(s), rather than wait for a federal licensing or other federal "state-enabling" bill.

Similarly, State lotteries may proceed on their own to develop multi-state poker pools, a possibility the PPA is at least looking at now.

(FWIW, my bet is on the latter, a State-enabling bill rather than a federal licensing bill passing. However, there are opponents against both versions and not much "willing" support for the latter as a compromise.)
