The number of co-sponsors for the New York State bill to license and regulate online poker<\/strong> is about to rise. This is according to New York Assemblyman Clyde Vanel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Vanel is the chair of the Subcommittee on Internet and New Technology for New York.\u00a0Assemblyman\u00a0Gary Pretlow<\/strong>\u2018s legislation bill A 5250<\/strong> to authorize online poker sites is expected to move from 13 co-sponsors to around 60-70, per Vanel.<\/p>\n

The increase in co-sponsors is a great sign, Vanel told Online Poker Report<\/em> this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cChairman Pretlow is a great champion for it, and now he has the partners to bring it through,\u201d Vanel said. \u201cThe next few weeks will show some traction for the bill. With enough co-sponsors, I like it to get out of committee and onto the floor. I think we have a good shot of getting it through this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magic number within a shot<\/span><\/h2>\n

The number of co-sponsors required to pass a bill in New York is 76. Per Vanel, this total is soon to be within reach. The bill would not reach the Assembly floor until the end of the legislative session in June, even if 76 co-sponsors are added. Should the bill gain the co-sponsors expected by Vanel, the New York leadership group will have to take a serious look at the bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job is that I\u2019m the guy who is going to whip these votes. That\u2019s what I\u2019m doing. I\u2019m working these votes to get the bill on the floor, and I will be whipping votes on the floor,\u201d Vanel said.<\/p>\n

As is the case with most online poker bills, Vanel suggests New York constituents contact their Assembly representatives<\/strong>. Vanel says voter supports helps his case<\/strong> to whip votes and add co-sponsors to the NY online poker bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need pressure from the outside, too,\u201d Vanel said. \u201cThere has to be momentum and push on the inside and outside. We need to show that there\u2019s voices out there other than people opposed to wagering, and they are respectable poker players who we are depriving opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Vanel?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vanel first took office as a new Assemblyman at the end of 2016. Right away upon being enlisted on the\u00a0Subcommittee on Internet and New Technology<\/strong>, Vanel cited regulated online poker as a potential asset for the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want New York to be in a position where we\u2019re leading the country in internet and new technology,\u201d Vanel said. \u201cThis is an area where we can improve. We have poker in New York but we\u2019re not allowing it online. Folks can\u2019t articulate why.\u00a0Our house has been the stopping point. If it gets through our house, it will have no problem getting through the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Building an edge<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Vanel empirical\u00a0research finds that the opponents of the online bill are adverse to gambling as a whole. It is Vanel\u2019s belief that the majority of lawmakers are in favor of or neutral to online poker.<\/p>\n

        The argument Vanel is making against those who are opposed is one of factual evidence stating the gambling already existing in New York.<\/p>\n

        \u201cWhen I explain to folks that gambling is legal in New York State, that we have casinos, racinos and a lottery, and people can now buy their lottery tickets online and bet on horses online, it\u2019s hard for people to push back and say why we don\u2019t have online poker,\u201d Vanel said. \u201cIf we properly regulate it, that quells all the concerns opponent have against it. Some people, I\u2019ve learned, are not going to change their minds, and I\u2019d rather work on people who can get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Vanel adds that land-based casinos would receive\u00a0a boost from the online poker influx. Similar to casinos in New Jersey, New York casinos will gain licenses for online poker.<\/p>\n

        \u201cIt\u2019s good policy for New York State,\u201d Vanel said. \u201cNot only can we protect our consumers from the unscrupulous websites that will take your money offshore and provide no recourse, but we can help protect people with problems by having safeguards, and help our casinos that aren\u2019t making enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Make your voice heard<\/span><\/h2>\n

        As Vanel said, he can\u2019t do this alone. The voice of poker players will make a difference. Visit PlayNY.com to learn how to contact New York State lawmakers via email, phone and social media. Every message to your local representative can go a long way.<\/p>\n
