Nevada Moves to Sever Ties and Bar Out-of-State Bets
Nevada announced a sweeping policy to cut ties with out-of-state gambling and bar outside wagers. After January 1, any Nevada gambler with interests in another state could lose or have suspended licenses, and after July 1 Nevada bookmakers must not accept bets from outside the state. Governor Charles Russell said the policy aims to curb gambling and aid other states, with Commissioner Cahill noting its drastic reach and potential impact on major bookmakers and revenue. Benny Binion's license request in Las Vegas was denied as the policy signals broader restrictions.
