ONLINE SPORTS BETTING: Opinion: Tribal Sports Betting Storylines To Watch
For example, according to Gambling Compliance, California tribes revised their ballot proposal last month that would bring sports betting in California. The amendment would amend the California Constitution to carve out tribal wagering from IGRA. As PlayCA reported, the new ballot language states:
***A federally recognized Indian tribe with Indian land in California may at any time elect to offer online sports wagers entirely off of Indian lands and not be subject to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
The California initiative presently has the support of only four of the state’s 108 federally recognized tribes. Like the Florida ballot measure, the California initiatives, including those backed by cardrooms and sportsbook operators, face incredibly long odds of getting on the ballot.
