Legalized sports betting will likely not be on the ballot for California voters in 2020.


WHY BE AN AFFILIATE WHEN YOU CAN GET 100%?  JUST PAY $5 PER PLAYER

“We never advanced to get a single signature,” Russell Lowery, a consultant for the group Californians for Sports Betting. “It started a conversation in California gaming on what is the right path forward, and those conversations will continue until they figure out the puzzle.”

The organisation had launched a campaign to collect 623k signatures, but it failed miserably.

“The difference between June and today is everyone understands it’s not going to happen legislatively without some sort of pressure from an initiative. In the cardroom and sports betting industry, I think everyone now understands that if it’s going to happen, it’s going to be through an initiative.”

California for decades had attempted to legalize online poker without any luck as Tribal factions were in disagreement over which companies to license.
