Nevada is considering a bill that would significantly increase the penalties for illegal online gambling operators. The bill would allow for the “disgorgement of any profits, gains, gross receipts, or other benefits relating to illegal gaming activities.”
Senate Bill 256 was introduced on Feb. 27 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a public hearing to discuss the bill’s goal to ramp up the penalties for illegal online gambling operators.
Nevada has a robust regulatory framework tackling in-state, illegal, gambling. SB 256 would strengthen the state’s hand when illegal offshore gambling sites target Nevada residents. Although not explicitly stated, the bill would also apply to so-called “sweepstakes casinos.”
