The National Council of Legislators From Gaming States (NCLGS) has released additional details surrounding its Policy Framework for Regulation of Internet Gaming. Building on the first draft, the latest version includes provisions for the protection of player’s funds and acknowledgment that high taxes could negatively impact participation rates in certain markets.
