Jim Kasper Pushes for Online Poker Legalization"},"content":{"rendered":"
Michigan opened its regulated online poker market<\/a> less than a week ago, becoming the 5th US state to do so after Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania<\/strong>. Now, another state might join the list a couple of years from now, if ongoing efforts by a Republican representative turn out successful.<\/p>\n Rep. Jim Kasper, who represents District 46 (Fargo), has recently put forward a resolution which would put a measure on the 2022 general election ballot to allow residents to have a say on whether or not online poker should be allowed in the Peace Garden State. <\/p>\n House Concurrent Resolution 3012<\/a> has already gained bi-partisan support in the House and if it ultimately makes it on the ballot, North Dakota residents will decide in the upcoming general election whether the state should get the ball rolling on online poker legalization. A simple majority outcome will then kick-start the process.<\/p>\n Rep. Kasper thinks it\u2019s about time that North Dakota begins embracing online gaming, given that a lot of US states are already doing it. Kasper has long been an advocate for poker, being a player himself. His interest and passion for poker dates back to when he was a kid, as he would usually play the game with his uncle. He began to love the game even more during the Chris Moneymaker<\/strong> era. <\/p>\n
