Online poker is returning to the U.S.

24/02/2012

State by state, online poker is making small deliberate steps to return to America. Lately this week Iowa took another step toward online gaming Wednesday when the Senate State Government Committee passed Iowa Senate Study Bill 3164, which seeks to legalize online poker in the state.

 Online poker is slowly returning to the U.S. 

Members of the Senate State Government Committee voted 11-4 in favor of the bill. State legislators felt the lack of a potential $ 13 millions in profits, which are able to generate due to annual tax revenues from online gambling. Iowans for years used the services of offshore operators, which are not regulated by the U.S. Government. "This possibility must be excluded. This area should be under control", - said Senator Wally Horn.

Thus, Iowa is now the fifth state to consider an intrastate poker bill, joining Hawaii, New Jersey, Nevada, and Mississippi.
