Nevada bookmakers can now display esports on their boards without having to petition state gambling regulators for each event.
The state's Esports Technical Advisory Committee created the regulations, which the Nevada Gaming Commission authorized on Thursday. The Nevada Gaming Control Board had recommended the measures.
The regulation permits sportsbooks to take bets on esports in the same way that they do on conventional athletic events.
The extension of legal events for sports betting is contingent upon each licensed sportsbook satisfying the due diligence standards required to maintain a sports wagering license.
