Nevada’s Esports Technical Advisory Committee has voted to pass a regulatory esports betting suggestion to the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission.
The eight-member committee, charged with helping the board develop regulations for betting on esports has recommended a series of amendments to Regulation 22, the board’s regulation overseeing race books and sports pools.
The amendments will ‘explicitly include Esports within other events; to allow books to accept wagers on Esports events in the manner of traditional sporting events if the books fulfill certain due diligence requirements; to specify the record keeping and notice requirements for books which decide to accept wagers on Esports events; to grant the Board Chair authority to revoke or suspend a book’s decision to accept wagers on events conducted by certain Esports event operators; to set out the review process if the Board Chair revokes or suspends a book’s decision to accept wagers on events conducted by certain Esports event operators; to explicitly authorize the Board Chair to place Esports event operators on the list of sanctioning organizations; and to take such additional action as may be necessary and proper to effectuate these stated purposes.’
