Updates on New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada Online Wagering Rollouts

Nevada was the first state to legalize online poker earlier this year, but New Jersey is poised to rake in a bigger jackpot from Internet gambling when Atlantic City’s 12 casinos offer a whole menu of legal online table games along with slots later this fall. Meanwhile, Delaware’s three casinos are set to offer cash winnings for online slots, poker, blackjack and roulette by the end of October.

Nevada gamblers can already use their smartphones to play online poker, and Atlantic City players will be able to bet on their games that way later this year. Wagers in Delaware will have to wait until 2014 to use their phones.

These states legalized online betting after the U.S. Justice Department reversed its ban on Internet gambling in December 2011. Several other states, including California, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts and Texas, considered proposals related to online gambling this year, but none legalized it.

The three states plan to seek “compacts” with the other states that approved online gambling so that bettors can play the games across state lines. The compacts will determine how the states will split revenues.

“I can’t enter into any compacts or agreements with other states until the Gaming Control Board and Gaming Commission adopt regulations to allow me to do so,” Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said earlier this month on VegasInc.com, a news website that covers Las Vegas. Sandoval said Nevada has had preliminary conversations with other states, “but there is nothing I can do until the regulations are adopted, which I understand may happen next month.”

Spengler in New Jersey said reciprocal agreements will be addressed in the future once online gambling gets up and running.

Likewise in Delaware, Cook, the finance secretary, said the state will look into compacts with other states in 2014.
