Thaw the Ban: Legalize Online Poker for Alaskans


Thaw the Ban: Legalize Online Poker for Alaskans
The Issue
Summary:
We, the undersigned, call on the Alaska State Legislature to legalize and regulate online poker and other skill-based gaming platforms. Alaskans deserve the freedom to play responsibly, the protection of state oversight, and the economic benefits of a regulated market.
Why It Matters:
• Thousands of Alaskans already play on offshore sites—without consumer protections or tax benefits.
• Legalization would generate revenue, create jobs, and offer safer alternatives to unregulated platforms.
• Responsible adults should have the right to enjoy skill-based games from the privacy of their homes.
Our Ask:
We urge lawmakers to support legislation like HB 145 or introduce new bills that:
• Legalize and regulate online poker and skill-based gaming
• Create a licensing framework for operators
• Ensure consumer protections and responsible gaming tools
• Allow Alaskans to play without fear or legal ambiguity
Sign if you believe in freedom, fairness, and a smarter future for Alaska.
