Regulated Online Poker North Dakota. North Dakota almost became the first state to regulate online poker in the US. In 2005 a bill was introduced that would regulate online poker in the state. It passed the House of Representatives but not the Senate. The man behind the bill was Republican Jim Kasper and his goal was to protect players and boost state revenues.
