The proposed amendments seek to remove provisions limiting interactive gaming to the game of poker, in addition to a number of related and other changes, such as creating definitions of ‘peer-to-peer’ and ‘non peer-to-peer’ gaming.
A significant change to be introduced is the creation of a state-wide list of individuals who have self-excluded from participating in igaming.
Other amendments regarding operators’ obligations include changes to what is required to be displayed on an operator’s website, provisions related to how gross revenue is reported and provisions related to the maintenance of records.
Results released in January showed that Nevada’s gaming revenue fell to a 24-year low in 2020, as the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic saw the state’s operators bring in US$7.87bn, the lowest annual total since 1996.
These results marked the first year in which the state broke down how much of its revenue came from online betting. The sector brought in US$117.6m, but made up the majority of betting volume at US$2.61bn.
