The Nevada Gaming Commission approved the nation’s first regulations for Internet poker play today, opening the door to the licensing of companies to offer online play within the state.
Regulations also address what information must be presented on their websites, record keeping, dispute resolution, fees and taxation and problem gambling notifications. Full article at VegasInc.com.
PlayerVerify.com feels we're the only site positioned on the Internet where Nevada online poker players can upload and share their personal ID documents to regulated Nevada poker sites. Per the approved regulations online poker players inside Nevada have thirty days to prove their identify.
There are several reasons Player Verify makes since for Nevada Poker players and gaming sites. Please view our FAQ's page here..

I Gaming Self Exclusion
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Player Verify's New 'Self Exclusion' Tool Delivers a Powerful, Simple Solution to the I-Gaming Industry
FRANKLIN, Tenn., Oct. 06, 2011 -- When a problem "I gambler" chooses to give up online gaming, it's a tough and emotional decision. Yet quitting I gambling can also be a painstaking process simply because many problem gamblers want and need to disconnect from online gaming sites entirely. But to do so, they have to revisit the countless sites they've used to request self exclusion -- a painstaking process that risks recidivism. But now, with the click of a mouse, it's easy to be disassociated with I-gaming sites, thanks to the breakthrough "Self Exclusion" tool featured on the popular I-gaming hub, Player Verify (https://www.playerverify.com).
"This new tool is very exciting because it's a powerful solution to an issue that's challenged the online gaming industry for years," says Mark Dalton, Player Verify's member manager. "Clean and simple, our self-exclusion feature makes managing self exclusion not only easier for problem gamblers, but those who oversee the security of online gaming sites as well."
To tap the power of this new self-exclusion tool, online gaming sites need only sign up with Player Verify. They'll then have access to a search function that allows them to check their players against Player Verify's self-exclusion database. Since gaming authorities worldwide require gaming sites to offer some sort of self-exclusion option, this innovative solution provides a way to do just that, plus it enables a more unified system for self-exclusion practices throughout the entire industry.
"Of course, the more gaming sites we get on board and signed up to use Player Verify's new Self Exclusion tool, the more effective it will be," Dalton says. "This new solution is rooted in our responsibility to help problem gamblers, so I encourage gaming sites everywhere to become part of that solution by signing on now and linking to Player Verify today."
Of note, the self-exclusion feature is not limited to I-gaming sites. Land-based casinos, lotteries and racing events can promote Player Verify's tool to its customers and use its database as well.

I Gaming Self Exclusion
Player Verify hasn't done an official press release but we've recently added a Player Self Exclusion tool within our site.
With one click of a mouse a registered Player can self exclude themselves from all gaming sites registered at PlayerVerify.com.
Once a Player self excludes them self they're barred from Player Verify and all gaming sites registered at Player Verify will have access to their self exclusion request via our database. Gaming sites should follow suit and ban the self excluded Player from gaming at their sites per the Player request.
Player Verify provides the first one click self exclusion tool to help promote responsible gaming. I'll post a press release in the next few days.

Massachusetts House Passes Online Poker
Just wanted to say good work to an amendment made by Republican Representative Daniel Winslow which passed 132 to 32 for online poker.
The next step is a vote in the Massachusetts Senate, Player Verify encourages all members to vote yes.
Clearly the Massachusetts House understands that online poker should be approved and regulated and hopefully the Senate will follow suit.

Online Casino Information Breach!
Maybe they should be using PlayerVerify.com to a least view Player documents?
Important security breach at Bet 24 and various other companies! I suspect various other companies mean other online gaming sites not mentioned.
No link for this one, here's the full statement.
25 July 2011
For the attention of customers with BET24 accounts registered before 31 October 2009
Important Security Information - Please Read Carefully
We have been informed by police authorities that they have arrested third party individuals who were in possession of unauthorised copies of personal customer information relating to various companies including BET24. The BET24 customer information was stolen from BET24 by means of illegal electronic access to our database, which is believed to have taken place in December 2009. We have no information to indicate any unauthorised access to our database or breach of our security systems since December 2009, and we have no reason to believe that accounts registered after 31 October 2009 are affected in any way.
FOR CUSTOMERS WITH ACCOUNTS REGISTERED AS AT 28 APRIL 2007, the stolen information comprises:
•a list of customer names, postal addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, BET24 account user names, BET24 account user ID numbers, BET24 account passwords and BET24 account balances, and, in some cases, telephone numbers and IP addresses
•a second separate list of BET24 account user ID numbers, BET24 account balances and parameters, customer payment card expiry dates, encrypted customer payment card numbers and encoded customer payment card types
The encrypted payment card information has NOT to our knowledge been decrypted, and review by internet security specialists confirms that the level of encryption is very high. In addition, NO payment card security codes are stored on the BET24 database. The stolen information is so far known to have been used to access a limited number of customers’ BET24 accounts, third party accounts and personal email accounts. A small number of customers have alerted us to unauthorised activity on their BET24 accounts and we have fully reimbursed them for any financial loss incurred on their accounts. At the bottom of this letter, you will find the security advice and action points that we recommend you to follow immediately.
FOR CUSTOMERS WITH ACCOUNTS REGISTERED BETWEEN 28 APRIL 2007 & 31 OCTOBER 2009, the stolen information is more limited and comprises:
•a list of BET24 account user ID numbers, BET24 account balances and parameters, customer payment card expiry dates, encrypted customer payment card numbers and encoded customer payment card types
This stolen information does NOT include any personal details or passwords and is NOT therefore sufficient to enable access to accounts. Furthermore, we are not aware of any instances of illegal access to these accounts. The encrypted payment card information has NOT to our knowledge been decrypted, and review by internet security specialists confirms that the level of encryption is very high. In addition, NO payment card security codes are stored on the BET24 database. At the bottom of this letter, you will find the general security advice that we advise all BET24 customers to follow.
We are working closely with the police authorities to establish how the information was stolen, how it has been used, and which customers are affected.
We implemented a thorough security review in 2010, which included an audit by industry specialists and simulated hacker penetration tests, and we have further upgraded the security of our network. The BET24 passwords for all customers who had registered accounts as at 28 April 2007 were reset during 2010. We continue to monitor our systems and customer transactions constantly, and to upgrade our systems regularly.
Our customers are our number one priority and the security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us. Please contact our customer service support team by email at support@bet24.com if you have any questions relating to the above.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Petersen, Chief Executive Officer
RECOMMENDED SECURITY ACTION POINTS

GLI and TST have released the industry's first global online gaming regulatory guidelines, which they have termed as GLI-19.
Among the many standards outlined for Operators and Suppliers I'm particularly interested with their recommendations for Players document security.

New House Bill Would Require Withholding Taxes On Winnings
A House proposal to regulate and tax Internet gambling would require online gambling establishments to withhold taxes from net online winnings, and provide detailed information about gamblers to the government in an attempt to help ensure the collection of these taxes. It would also impose a two percent federal tax on Internet gambling providers, and give states the option of taxing these companies at a rate of six percent.

First Legal U.S. Online Gambling Website
As we reported a couple days ago it appeared that D.C. would be the first state to legalize online gambling, Internet poker.
Guess what, we were correct and it's being reported that the D.C. Lottery will in fact be the first legal U.S. online gambling state, website providing online poker and who knows what else will follow.
This is great news, wonder if the D.C. Lottery has ever heard of PlayerVerify.com?

Is Online Poker Legal In D.C.?
Wow, this one caught me off guard. Online poker may in fact now be legal for D.C. residents, coming soon.
It appears that it must be operated by the D.C. Lottery, only available to D.C. residents but still a major breakthrough for online gaming if in fact this comes to life.
Looks like someone took their eye off the ball and any objections expired Thursday.

Christie Veto's Casino Online Gambling Bill
After weeks of suspense, Christie said he vetoed the first in the country legislation for "legal and constitutional concerns," a potential snag, which critics claimed he was aware of for a full year.
This was a conditional Veto so it's not over till the fat lady sings for New Jersey residents. Changes could be made to the bill, or a public referendum might be in the works.

15 Days Left!
The clock is ticking down and no signature from Chris Christie on the New Jersey online gambling bill. Surely if Mr. Christie was going to veto the bill it would have done within the first thirty days and not during the final fifteen days.
If Mr. Christie remains silent the bill will automatically become law and New Jersey will lead the way for legalized online gambling inside the U.S..

Sign The Bill Chris Christie!
As we've said before online casino's should and would be enforced by the states. Only one step left for the legalization of online gambling in New Jersey.
A signature from Governor Chris Christie will seal the deal, New Jersey will be the first state of many to legalize online casino's inside the U.S..
