In California, the decision to legalize sports betting is essentially up to the residents. If the bill introduced by State Senator Bill Dodd and Assemblyman Adam Gray becomes law, the question would be placed on the November ballot next year.

The attempt will take some time to complete before the state would be able to offer legalized betting, if voters agree to allow the option. In the past, several attempts have been made to change the gambling landscape in California to offer players more, but efforts have been plagued with drama.
