10 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 5 mixed.
Starting July 1, 2025, it is a felony to operate online gaming in Nevada without required regulations and licenses. Penalties include 1 to 10 years in prison and up to $50,000 in fines. This applies to owners, lessees, employees, and others who run interactive gaming.
Beginning July 1, 2025, county size controls who can get an online gaming license. In counties with 700,000+ people, only resort hotels with nonrestricted licenses qualify. In counties with 52,000–699,999 people, you must be a resort hotel with a nonrestricted license, or meet all size rules: more than 120 rooms in the county, a bar with over 30 seats, a 24/7 restaurant with over 60 seats, a gaming area of at least 18,000 sq. ft., at least 1,600 slot machines, 40 table games, and a race book and sports pool. In counties under 52,000, you must be a resort hotel with a nonrestricted license, or have held a nonrestricted license for 5+ years, meet Group 1 standards, and operate more than 50 rooms or more than 50 gaming devices. An affiliate in the same county may get a license if the main establishment has held a nonrestricted license for at least 5 years. Applicants who meet federal online‑gaming qualifications may also be licensed.
Starting July 1, 2025, a bet you place for yourself is not a crime when a Nevada‑licensed race book, sports pool, off‑track site, or other licensed place accepts it inside Nevada and follows the law. An out‑of‑state licensed book can accept Nevada bets only if allowed under a Governor’s agreement. The wager must be accepted within Nevada.
Starting July 1, 2025, online gaming revenue is counted when the state figures license fees, unless a similar federal fee applies. The Commission sets investigation fees for operator, manufacturer, and service‑provider applications. It also sets initial and renewal fees and can require service providers to pay part of an operator’s license fee.
In counties with 100,000+ people, a bar or restaurant seeking a license for 15 or fewer slot machines must have at least 2,500 sq. ft. of indoor space open to patrons. This is on top of other drink‑service rules.
Starting July 1, 2025, sending racing information from Nevada to other states to spur betting is a category B felony, with 1–6 years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines. The law repeals prior global risk management statutes. Risk‑management work for wagering pools is now treated as an “information service” for regulation. Firms that relied on old exceptions must change how they operate.
Beginning July 1, 2025, a “covered person” cannot be found suitable for an online gaming license within 5 years after February 21, 2013. Using a “covered asset” blocks suitability in that period and can trigger license revocation. The Commission may grant a waiver after investigation, a hearing, and a majority vote if it finds the required facts.
Beginning July 1, 2025, the Gaming Commission sets rules to license and run online gaming and to register service providers. Anyone supplying interactive gaming systems, including proprietary software or hardware, must hold a manufacturer license. Certain online gaming services require a service provider license or registration. Suitability standards for makers and service providers are strict. The state also sets where systems are located, security standards, and approves hardware and software. Key terms are defined in regulation.
The law removes the “cash access and wagering instrument service provider” category. The Commission now defines who counts as a service provider by rule. Employees of those former providers are no longer listed as “gaming employees.” This changes who must register or be licensed.
A game cannot be offered unless the Board Chair or the Commission approves it. The Commission writes the approval process. Licensed establishments can no longer expose system‑based or system‑supported games for play.
