Lawmakers from states where gambling is legal are proposing standards for additional states that are considering allowing internet gambling. The proposed model legislation includes a tax rate of 15% to 25% and a ban on credit card deposits. The National Council of Legislators from Gaming States issued this proposal to provide a framework for states contemplating internet gambling legalization.
Currently, seven U.S. states offer legal online casino games, with Nevada specifically offering internet poker. The legislation aims to incorporate successful practices from states like New Jersey, a pioneer in regulating internet gambling since 2013. The proposed laws emphasize consumer protection and aim to prevent illicit activities in online gambling.
