Poker Strikes Out in North Dakota
The proposal that would have legalized Internet poker sites based in North Dakota was crushed in the North Dakota senate 44-3, as reported by the Grand Forks Herald. As Senator Carolyn Nelson noted, "There are at least three federal laws out there that make this legislation suspect." Additionally, the US Department of Justice sent North Dakota a letter informing them that the proposed legislation violated US law. Don't expect any state to pass pro-Internet gambling legislation in the near future.
Next up on the Internet gambling front is the WTO decision on the US appeal of Antigua's complaint regarding US anti-Internet gambling regulations. That decision is due out later this week.
