Starting in 2011, I became Richard from California, and in the world of ipoker and igaming, Richard from California was a big deal. The reason Richard from California was a big deal was because Richard from California was not only a member of the California Gambling Control Commission, but he was also the advisor to the California Governor’s office on ipoker and igaming, and acted in the same capacity for the California Senate committee that oversaw gaming matters. Moreover, California was at this time contemplating the legalisation of ipoker and igaming.
