LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Nevada's gaming regulators have set the stage to expand and regulate esports betting at casinos around the state.

New regulations expanding esports wagering for events in Nevada and online got unanimous approval from the Esports Technical Advisory Committee on Monday.

It would also set up the process for sportsbooks to follow to accept wagers on the contests.

The Control Board's chair would have the authority to step in and stop wagers on events that could be questionable.

Following the committee's vote, Nevada's Gaming Control Board and Gaming Commission are expected to consider the regulations at a future meeting, which could come as soon as next month.
