Posted 18 May 2012 by dlbarlowe

On the same day a bill that would allow North Carolina's only casino to offer live dealer card games was introduced to the state's Senate, it was passed by the legislative body by a vote of 33 – 14. The bill will now move to North Carolina's House of Representatives. If the measure is passed by the House, the bill will affirm changes to a gambling compact that were agreed upon by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and North Carolina's Governor, Beverly Perdue, late last year.

North Carolina Mulls Online Gambling Legislation

Posted 02 Dec 2011 by PokerJanitor

April 15, 2011 marked a very dark day in the history of online poker in the united states, although there could well be a silver lining to the cloud. On what has now commonly referred to as "Black Friday" within the poker community, the FBI issued indictments forcing PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, UB and Absolute Poker to suspend real money play within the united states. The single positive thing to come from this is the possibility that the path to online poker legislation and regulation will speed up as more voices make themselves heard.

There are basically three main possibilities of North Caronlina poker and that of the entire United States. Firstly, we continue as we are now without regulation and US players can play at some poker rooms, accepting that the legal side of things is simply gray. The second two options are regulation, either on a national level or a state-by-state level, the latter of which could see North Carolina poker only being accessible to residents of that state, and not of neighboring states.

With regards to online poker North Carolina does not have the best track record. There have, in the past, been court rulings declaring poker a game of luck - although this issue is highly in contention and is still being fought legally at the highest levels today - and therefore that online poker is illegal. However a possible ray of hope is if we were to see some kind of national initiative for the legalization and regulation of online poker, then North Carolina may feel obliged to play along.

The simple fact at this point in time is that it is very unclear what the future holds for North Carolina poker and online poker in general. The only thing that can be certain is that it is currently on a lot of peoples' minds, and is therefore an area where we will see discussion and change in the near future. With a bit of luck, we could well see legalized and regulated online poker in North Carolina one of these days.
