Maybe the reporter was actually reporting what Neilander said. The American legislative situation is now so confused and convoluted that Neilander may have been trying to dumb it too far down rather than try to take the writer through all the twists and turns of US federal and state gambling law and exemptions LOL.

For the millionth time, it is a iolation of federal law to operate a gambling site that accepts SPORTSBETTING wagers from Americans. NOT casino games like craps, blackjack, slots, etc.
These news-reporting bureaus just keep getting all wrong regarding the American law on gambling online. DUM....deee-yew-eeem...DUM

Yeah the 'scientific method' falls a little short on this 'study' me thinx.
Is it observable, repeatable, and erifiable? Was it double blind? Where is the 'control group' where is the anonymity, and MOST IMPORTANTLY where is the 'peer' review?
It's a joke.

Especially since Nevada is one of the "Microgaming 11". Of course ery few people are going to admit to having broken the state law against internet gambling (I assume there must be one, otherwise it wouldn't be on MG's list).
It's like asking people to take a survey on whether or not they cheated on their taxes.

Online betting whiffs in Nevada
Study says 96 percent of residents don't play
By HOWARD STUTZ
REVIEW-JOURNAL
Nevadans aren't really interested in online gambling. At least, that's what more than 96 percent of people told questioners in a study conducted for gaming regulators by UNLV's International Gaming Institute.
But those Nevadans who do gamble over the Internet -- 3.7 percent according to the sample of 1,000 residents surveyed -- mostly play poker or wager on sports, are predominately male, and are not completely comfortable with the integrity of online gaming.
Meanwhile, those who do gamble online said the activity does not affect their gambling habits inside Nevada casinos.
The Gaming Control Board asked the institute in 2006 to study whether or not Nevadans are gambling on the Internet and to investigate their habits and attitude toward the activity.
Institute director Bo Bernhard said respondents were surveyed in ... | | Read Entire Entry |

I always thought the first step would be 'live dealer' games from your room... maybe inhouse slots etc on the comm screen. The tech is there and so is the law as long as its an inhouse network... which could be extended to properties, then instate borders.

It shows only that 3.7% are prepared to ADMIT to gambling online. Considering what has happened, with funds being seized, and the IRS taking an interest, I expect there are many worried that the DoJ will pull some legal manouver to force those taking the survey to hand over the details of those who admitted gambling online over the last 5 years, and they might then suffer a tax audit. Las Vegas is not all of Nevada, so there will be many who don't have the casinos on the doorstep, and others unhappy at the lower payouts, and large tax take on any "winnings", even if they had to sell the house the year before.

NEVADA ONLINE GAMBLING SHELVED FOR NOW
Survey claims only 3.7 percent of people in Nevada gambled online in the past five years.
Las Vegas Today carried an interesting story as the week closed, revealing that the Nevada Gaming Control board had looked at the possibility of sanctioning internet gambling last week. The regulators had earlier commissioned a study by UNLV to gauge interest amongst Nevada residents in gambling over the internet.
"There is some ability or there is some argument that now there is an exemption to the federal law [against online gambling]," said Gaming Control Board Chairman Dennis Neilander, referring to the powers ested in individual states to make gambling laws, and exemptions in federal law for horseracing, state lotteries and fantasy sports.
The report claims that gaming and technology companies have pressured regulators to license internet gambling websites based in Nevada. "A number of these groups have said: 'Why do... | | Read Entire Entry |
