North Dakota's senate is discussing a bill which would make North Dakota the first state to allow licensed, online poker sites. The bill is sponsored by Representative Jim Kasper. On Tuesday, the House approved 50-44 a resolution which will put this question on N.D.'s June ballot.
Its hard to tell if this bill is good or bad. It is certainly good that it is being discussed. And the state wants to regulate poker, which means that we may be able to better trust online poker sites. But, in its final form, this bill may also impose state taxes and bank charges which increase the overall cost of playing online in North Dakota. Will that just mean that players continue to play elsewhere? The opposition's arguments are the typical anti-gambling arguments, that it will encourage people who can least afford it to play.
In order to pass, the proposal will require an amendment to the North Dakota Constitution. That amendment was approved on Tuesday by the state House, but has not yet passed the Senate.
