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.… - Felony for unlicensed online gaming: cost, high. 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. - New fees on online gaming: cost, medium. 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 prov… - Stricter space rules for small slots: cost, medium. 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. - Race data and risk rules tightened: cost, medium. 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… - Who can run online gaming: mixed, high. 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… - Suitability bars and waiver process: mixed, medium. 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, an… - New licenses and standards for online gaming: mixed, medium. 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 pr… - Cash access category removed, roles updated: mixed, low. 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. - Game approvals and fewer game types: mixed, low. 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. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Assembly Committee on Judiciary ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-05-30 | Senate | Final Passage - Senate (2nd Reprint) | pass | 21 | 0 | | | 2025-05-26 | House | Final Passage - Assembly (1st Reprint) | pass | 41 | 0 | | ## Actions (26) - 2025-06-06: Chapter 325.
