100% (if you mean Nevada's online gaming license).

Great. So because we expected intrastate poker in Nevada by the end of this year, that means we can now expect interstate poker by the end of this year if this goes through?

(btw, slugger suggested it would take at least a year)

So much of the speculation in this thread is based off a tweet that is denied as false rumor? What exactly are the other sources of this development?

There's a lot more to it than that. I've been hearing rumblings for a week or two about something along these lines, but whether it all comes to fruition is really anyones guess.

What I do know, is that now is as good of a time as ever to be doing the daily action plans and calling your senators.

I mean, I know it's fun to sit here and talk about time tables and other details but nobody has those answers right now and even if they do, they could easily change between now and whenever we have new information.

Stop worrying about the infinite amount of questions that come from this bill passing, and start worrying about getting the bill passed.

Timeline is pretty important to anyone considering moving to LV (like me).

It will be important to see how this is spun. If it is "Ipoker legalization" then we have a problem. If it is "UIGEA strengthened" then, better. I don't think it helps that the biggest moral busybody in recorded history is running for President, and recently finding out that when he champions social conservatism, he crushes Romney.

tbh, if this passes I would imagine NV will continue with their regulatory process, but I'm not sure if they're put cards in the air in NV only

I'm just totally speculating, but I would imagine they will say they want to be regulators and that's it. I don't forsee them launching INTRAstate poker if a fed bill is passed.

Anybody (DQ/PX/others) with more speculating as to whether they would even be able to start offering intrastate and then join the federal pool of states later on?

I really don't know anything, but somehow I'm certain that it's exactly what it's gonna go under.

In my hurry I wasn't clear. Obviously, Reid and Kyl will spin it that way, but which spin will dominate the media coverage is still an open question.

A lot of posts in this thread, so I decided to discuss timeframe in another thread:

I see. Well, with all the talk about "paying for the Tax Cuts" etc. I'd say the iPoker coverage would be pretty substantial. I mean it looks like a candy for the media.

I think this is helpful for us because we will help offset this a little.

We don't know, and won't know.

It is perfectly possible that the bill says 6 months but no sites open for 12, or 18. It's possible the bill says 12 months, but says 6 by the time it's passed.

It's even more possible that the sites open in 'x' months but completely suck ass for 'x' more months and don't make it possible to make money.
