Interstate online poker could reportedly soon be rolled out across the United States after the administration of President Joseph Biden yesterday declined to appeal a January ruling that had affirmed the current legality of such activities.
According to a Tuesday report from PokerFuse.com, the Democrat’s move to accept the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in the case of New Hampshire Lottery Commission v Rosen means that his administration considers online poker to be free from the regulations of the Interstate Wire Act of 1961. The source detailed that this means several states could now sign deals before the end of the year that would allow iGaming operators to form interstate player pools without fear of being prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ).
