Hawaii Introduces Legislation for Legal Online Gambling
The beautiful State of Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is one of only two States along with Utah that prohibits all forms of gambling. That situation may be about to go through some changes if a three recent bills introduced are passed in the House Representatives for the State of Hawaii.
The prolog for the bills explains that internet wagering has become a past time that many people around the world are actively engaged in. The explanation goes on to express concerns for the punters in Hawaii who are currently playing at online gambling sites that are not regulated, leaving players vulnerable to various problems.
The first bill calls for the establishment of a state lottery commission, to operate a state lottery, the second would allow for the establishment of land based casino operations in Hawaii. The third bill, HB 2422 looks at the creation of an Internet Lottery and Gambling Corporation that would authorize “internet wagering on games of chance and games of skill, including lottery, poker and casino games.” To comply with the Department of Justice’s recent announcement clarifying the Wire Act Hawaii will not allow, “wagering on any sporting event or sporting contest.”
Hawaii is thinking far ahead should the third bill HB#2422 pass the State would like to enter into, “agreements with other state gaming entities for the offering of multistate games, consistent with state and federal law.” Residents in other states would be allowed to participate in “free-play games and sweepstakes” offering “Hawaii related prizes … for the purpose of attracting tourists and providing free exposure for Hawaii and Hawaii businesses.”
The revenue from the proposed legalization of internet wagering in Hawaii is listed in the bill with thirty five percent of proceeds being allotted to the improvement of public schools while another twenty five percent would go to capital improvements to the University of Hawaii. Five percent of funds would be given to programs for the prevention and treatment of problem gambling.
