Nevada wants control of online gaming... - Page 2 - Poker News

I hope it works out as such, I trust the people in the commission after hearing a few talk about issues such as bots, which I was surprised they were already preparing to address.

Not shocked. This is also why NJ tried so hard to to get their own intrastate bill going and I am sure they want to also be the regulator.

Makes sense for someone in CA to be the regulator as far as I am concerned since Poker is a main focus there and is mostly disrespected in NV and NJ.

I agree with a lot of the points made in this post.

The thing that worries me most is both the government AND Vegas casinos try to discourage pro gambling. I hope Im wrong, but I have a very bad feeling about the profitability of online poker post regulation for all but the VERY best grinders.

we've got a chance to get everything we've ever wanted.

quick! freak out about potential things that could go horrible so we can keep dreaming and never have to face a reality that is largely out of our control.

you sound like a buncha lifelong virgins. man up and do something else if you can't beat the game, same rules as before.
