A report issued today by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission opens the door for a full-fledged debate by state lawmakers in 2012 over allowing Internet poker within Iowa’s borders.
The study, which was requested by the legislature last session, outlines how state officials could establish a regulatory framework to permit Internet poker games played by Iowa residents.
The research estimates poker operators could pull in a “rake” of between $13 million to $60 million annually from Iowa’s Internet poker players. Assuming a tax rate of 22 percent – similar to Iowa casino taxes – these projections indicate an estimated $3 million to $13 million in potential tax revenue to the state annually.
Nevada was the first state to legalize intrastate Internet gambling, but the District of Columbia is the first to begin implementation, although operations haven’t started yet, officials said. The U.S. Justice Department has taken the stance that Internet gambling across state borders violates federal law.
