Does anyone think it is possible for the passage of HR 2267 to allow for an intrastate sportsbetting site in the state of Nevada?
It will be very interesting to see how things shake out and what companies emerge as the US industry leaders. I really think that Nevada will be an interesting state to watch as they have always been the nations' leaders when it comes to most forms of gambling. I posted this in another thread and I think it is germane as it would seem that HR 2267 might be considered a green light to start things with intrastate gambling:
Here in Nevada there are a couple of small things regarding sports betting that people outside of Nevada are unaware of. First off, the Stations Casino Corp. has online sports betting offered to Nevada residents. I believe the daily total that can be wagered in $1000 or less. You have to set up the account in a Stations casino and fund it there as well. Also of note, Leroy's (a sportsbook that subleases space in various casinos statewide and advertises itself as the largest sportsbook in Nevada) accepts bets over phone lines. There is some sort of pager or something that the bet has to come from and only works in some radius from the center of Las Vegas that covers Clark County I believe.
Anyway, I think this probably does give states where sports gambling is legal (i.e for sure Nevada and maybe Delaware) the ability to set up much larger operations in the examples I gave. The question will be would this put into jeopardy their ability to get a national license at some point because they are associated with online sports gambling. For instance I don't think that MGM or Caesar's (Harrah's soon to be new operating name) who would stand to be the biggest poker licensees might not risk having an online sports betting intrastate site for Nevadans only. But there will be a market for a lesser name like Leroy's to try and do that since they would probably estimate that their share of the poker market would be very low and it would be more profitable to offer an online sportsbetting site for Nevadans.
Are there any other Nevada residents or legal experts that have any opinions as to how they think all of this will shake out specifically in the one state that has always been most friendly to gamblers (with regard to b&m casinos anyway).
My guess is that the top 5 US poker sites 5 years from now will all be major casino names MGM-Mirage, Caesar's (Harrah's), Wynn, ......
Does anyone think casinos with lesser names like South Point, M, Stations Casinos, Coast Casinos might opt to go for an intrastate online sports betting system?
