Ronald D. Kouchi of Hawaii has unexpectedly submitted a ground-breaking bill that would bring internet gambling to the US. The bill, SB3376, is not your usual candidate for gambling growth, but it does aim to create a single online market for sports betting and poker.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of Senator Kouchi\u2019s measure is to address the pervasive problem of unlawful internet gambling, which affects tens of thousands of citizens of Hawaii and frequently takes place on unregulated offshore platforms. The creation of the Hawaii Gaming Control Commission (HGCC), which would include seven part-time members chosen by the governor, is the suggested remedy. This commission would oversee online-only gambling, keeping traditional retail gambling at bay.<\/p>\n<p>The bill emphasizes the urgency of generating additional income for Hawaii, especially after the 2023 wildfires that have left the state grappling with recovery. By regulating <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/sports-news\/hawaii-debates-legalizing-online-sports-betting-as-football-season-kicks-off\/\">online gambling<\/a>, the proposed legislation anticipates capturing lost revenue and redirecting it to benefit both the state and its citizens.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Online Poker and Sports Betting<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The HGCC would choose one operator for licensing and provide a 10-year renewable license if the measure is approved. With the exception of casino games, the chosen licensee is able to provide online poker and sports betting. The novel profit share in the financial arrangement starts the first year at 70% for the state and 30% for the operator. Every year after that, this ratio progressively tilts in the operator\u2019s favor by 5%, to a minimum of 5%.<\/p>\n<p>While Hawaii\u2019s proposal stands out for its distinctive revenue split structure and focus on online poker without casino games, challenges loom on the horizon. The state\u2019s relatively small population and the niche appeal of poker might pose hurdles in attracting operators. The bill also remains silent on negotiations for interstate compacts, raising questions about sustaining online poker traffic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
