Pennsylvania iGaming has been rejected by the State Senate as part of a House-approved plan to fund the budget this week. For anyone thinking that’s a bad omen for the prospects of Pennsylvania online poker and gambling, think again. Even as the Senate was rejecting a budget plan by a wide margin, negotiations continue behind the scenes. Observers believe that there is a sweet spot between the Republican plan and one backed by the Senate and Gov. Tom Wolf. That would mean splitting the difference between one-time and recurring revenue that the two sides favor. A compromise certainly makes sense,…

At least one website will allow Nevada to celebrate their online poker anniversary. The WSOP.com has managed to survive four years!

Michigan lawmakers will continue discussing the merits of regulating online gambling and casino games over the internet after a lawmaker introduced a new proposal last week. State Rep. Brandt Iden, a Republican, introduced HB 4926 into the House. A bill in the Senate with the same intentions cleared a committee vote earlier this year. The legislative proposals, advertised as consumer protection initiatives, would allow the three commercial casinos in Detroit and the nearly two dozen tribal casinos in the state to offer the games over the web.

Once again, online gambling legislation in Germany has come under fire, and the lack of speed at which the implementation of a resolution is being addressed has been highlighted. Saxony-Anhalt Finance Minister André Schröder has warned that Germany’s efforts to legalize online gambling could fail if the 16 individual states do not act quickly and implement the proposed Interstate Treaty.
