Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval has confirmed that the US state could begin shared online poker liquidity services with Delaware within the next six weeks.

As reported by iGaming Business, the two regulated states signed a liquidity sharing agreement for online poker activities last year.

Under the Multi-State Internet Agreement, licensed Nevada and Delaware online gaming sites could begin sharing player pools, primarily for poker.

Despite having first signed the agreement last February, neither state has announced any further details of such a venture.

However, Sandoval has now confirmed in an interview with Steve Tetreault of the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the two states could begin shared online poker liquidity within the next four to six weeks.

"An agreement Sandoval signed last February with Delaware Gov. Jack Markell for their states to share online poker players should go live in four to six weeks," Tetreault wrote.

"Sandoval said 'technical glitches' delayed the rollout that was expected last summer, but he has been told by Nevada gaming regulators it now is 'imminent'."

Despite confirmation of the imminent launch, online poker is yet to generate major interest from players in both Nevada and Delaware.

Delaware Poker, operated by 888, is the only online poker provider in Delaware, while just 125 real-money ring-game players take part in activities in Nevada, according to data from PokerScout.
