GameAccount Network, which supplies internet gaming software, services and online gaming content in the US, has welcomed the approval of a bill by the House of Representatives in Pennsylvania that could lead to the legalisation of real-money online gaming in the state.
The bill - HB 2150 - now goes to the state Senate for approval and, if successful, will be presented to the state governor for signing into law.
Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN, said: “This approval is a significant step in support of continued regulation of internet gaming in America.
“We are delighted to welcome yesterday’s approval of HB 2150 in Pennsylvania, long-anticipated to become America’s fourth state to regulate internet casino gaming.”
He continued: “Passage of this bill into law will allow us to commence real-money internet casino gaming from our enterprise-level i-gaming platform already deployed on-property for Pennsylvania’s largest land-based casino and currently delivering Simulated Gaming integrated with the property’s reward programme in preparation for regulated real-money internet gaming.
“The anticipated passing of bill HB 2150 will be a very positive development for GAN,” said Smurfit.
