Michigan Begins Online Gambling Legalization

It’s a big week for adopted before summer. If it es the Senate, it will move to the offices of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder who can sign it into the law.

He stated: “It will allow internet gaming as it relates to all of the currently allowed games in a brick-and-mortar casino, that’d be poker, roulette, blackjack, craps.”

“The gaming commission is looking for the Legislature to take the initial step. They believe they have the parameters to do it, but one of the things we need to set up is that tax rate,” he added.

Should the bill be adopted, the gambling operators will be obliged to pay the 8% tax on all gambling activities, the legal age for gambling will be 21 years and higher and even the sportsbetting, which is a hot topic in the US right now, could be legalized via the same law, because it could then be offered as on online service as well as in land-based casinos.
