New York Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow has resubmitted an online poker bill in the state of New York, and Tyson Larson has failed to convince his fellow Nebraskan politicians that regulating online poker is a good thing in his home state.
New York Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow has delivered a bill to regulate online poker in The Empire State. Carrying the title A9049, Pretlow produced the latest online poker-only bill on Jan 19, 2016.
The plan is to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, to allow New York residents to play online poker based on the fact that it’s a game of skill and not one of chance.
It’s not the first time Pretlow has submitted a bill. His first attempt was back in May 2014. Not much has changed regarding the nitty-gritty of the bill with licences costing $10 million, lasting a decade, and a 15% tax rate on gaming gross revenue.
