Cross-state shared liquidity in the United States could be disbanded by the time WV proposals become law, unless the current DOJ opinion on the Wire Act is reversed.
The West Virginia House of Representatives passed a bill on Friday that would legalize online poker and other forms of online gaming in the state.
HB2934, which passed the House 72 to 22 with six representatives not voting, is now with the Senate where it will be considered in the Judiciary Committee and then the Finance Committee. If, as expected, the bill passes through the committees and then the full Senate, it will be set before West Virginia Governor Jim Justice to sign into law.
