Mississippi Online Casino's, Maybe!

Add Mississippi to the list of states considering legalizing Internet gambling.

On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Bobby Moak, D–Bogue Chitto, introduced House Bill 1373 that would allow residents 21 and older to play poker and other casino games online in Mississippi. Moak is the former chairman of the House Gaming Committee.
The bill says millions of people are gambling on illegal offshore websites.

What I like about this bill is that it's not just online poker, it's slots etc.. It also appears you don't have to be an established land based casino in Mississippi as long as you can abide by the commissions regulation requirements but I could be wrong, unlike Nevada.

I was reading fast but it appeared as long as you have the funding and can meet their standards an operator could operate a full blown online casino within the state after meeting all requirements.

Of course the bill has to pass first. You can read more here!

IGaming Fraud Reporting & Fraud Database


Player Verify is excited to announce another new tool has been added to our IGaming hub.

PlayerVerify.com has added a new player fraud database where member gaming sites can enter fraud reports themselves directly into our database. All member gaming sites will have access to this information to help further the prevention of IGaming fraud along with other abuse being made against the online casino/poker websites.

Currently fraud data is primarily credit card fraud but our new system will allow gaming sites to enter any type fraud they are encountering, making the Player Verify fraud reporting and search database the first of its kind to date!

The Player Verify hub provides players with a place to upload, share sensitive documents to IGaming sites for ID/address verification. Along with our one click gambling self exclusion tool and new gambling win/loss tool.

IGaming sites can download and verify their players documents securely within the hub. Monitor our self exclusion database and now report IGaming fraud in real time along with monitoring our new gambling fraud database.
