Iowa, the First to Authorize Online Poker

Filed under: , , , by: Cameron Love


The US Federal Government has finally legalized online betting. And Iowa is the first among the US states who have authorized online poker. Doug Struyk, the state representative of Iowa, is now concentrating on work towards the venture. He feels that it is the right time.

According to the opinion of Struyk, online betting is nothing but an “account deposit wagering”. He has shared some interesting information about online gambling. He has informed that around 50,000 Iowans visit online casino frequently and play online poker on a regular basis.

He feels that local online casino owners can easily offer trustworthy games to the players as online gambling has been legalized in the state. Otherwise the online casinos outside the state provide gambling facilities and players can lose their precious dollars.

His suggestion will help the Iowan residents to open online accounts at any of the casinos scattered all over the state. Though he has supported the bill, he feels that there is a poor chance of the bill to be passed. When the public will be properly instructed, it will have a value. The House Majority Leader feels that the concept is new in Iowa and people are not yet ready to accept it.

Kevin McCarthy, the Democrat from Des Moines, Iowa, claims that the legalization of online betting in the state of Iowa will turn up as the major development in the online gambling world in US. Then the state of Iowa will be the first to authorize online gambling.
