Poker activist Curtis Woodard continues with his campaign to legalized online poker in Washington, which currently prosecutes its residents for playing.
Woodard spoke to the publication Bluff saying:
“I’ve been pushing an idea for legislation based on the network model, separating the card rooms from the software providers, with emphasis on shared liquidity. There has been some interest shown but I haven’t really made any big strides this year… This is a work in progress and I don’t have all the details worked out, and actually I want the Tribes to give some input to assure they know we are concerned about their interests.”
Legalization is Washington may have a more positive future especially after its availability in Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada.
Woodard hopes to develop a measure for the 2015 legislative seasons to become effective in January.
