There\u2019s no word yet on when the interview will\ntake place as of yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legalization and regulation of online poker across American is an important issue, as legislation would keep players safe. Currently, <strong>players who don\u2019t live in Nevada, New Jersey or Delaware, have no choice but to take part in cash games and tournaments at offshore sites.<\/strong> While most of these sites are licensed by other international gaming commissions, local governments have no control over their activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legalization online poker would allow state gaming commissions to regulate sites that want to operate in America, overseeing their operations on a local level. <strong>Local governments would also be able to tax these sites and <\/strong>earn valuable revenue that would benefit all sorts of state-run programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal online poker legislation has been on the backburner\nfor quite some time, and Yang could make it a priority. Even though we\u2019re in\nearly stages of the presidential race, Yang has started an important conversation\nabout the importance of regulating the online poker market and keeping players\nsafe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope to hear more about Yang\u2019s stance on online poker legislation,\nand are looking forward to his appearance on Joey Ingram\u2019s podcast. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Across the United States, laws regarding online poker differ depending on where you live.
