Nevada Cracks Down on Illegal Gambling with Landmark Bill SB 256

Nevada is set to tighten its grip on illegal gambling after lawmakers approved a new bill, Senate Bill 256 (SB 256), introduced by Senator Rochelle Nguyen. The measure, which targets the growing problem of offshore and unregulated online casinos operating in legal grey areas, awaits final approval from Governor Joe Lombardo before becoming law. If signed into law, it will give Nevada the power to pursue out-of-state operators that target its residents. Penalties for illegal gambling would also increase, including potential felony charges for offenders. The bill now rests with Governor Joe Lombardo for final approval. If enacted, SB 256 will strengthen Nevada’s ability to combat illegal gambling and recover lost funds, reinforcing the state’s position as a leader in regulated gaming.
