Most online sportsbooks catering to the North American market are accessible to those bettors living in California, and nearly all of them offer wagering on the NBA All Star Weekend contests.

The state of California does not have sportsbooks operating within its borders as of now following the U.S. Supreme Court throwing out decades of prohibition against the activity. The state does offer plenty of casinos however. Online sports betting is not likely to come to fruition any time soon in the state of California due to conflicts between the various casino operators. We witnessed nearly a decade of attempts to introduce online poker in the Golden State, without success. Residents will rely on sports betting sites based outside of the state.
Betting on the NBA All Star Weekend events including the Slam Dunk Contest, Three-Point Shooting and Skills Contests, as well as the All Star Game between both conferences will be heavy throughout California.
The state has three NBA franchises, including a current dynasty in Golden State and the always-beloved LA Lakers. That other Los Angeles team, the Clippers, has played well in recent seasons.
The Warriors and Lakers ranked among the top 10 heading into the 2019 NBA All Star Weekend in terms of attendance, 6 and 9, respectively. The Clippers ranked 20th.
Lebron James of the LA Lakers will figure prominently in this year's All Star Game, as will Stephen Curry.
Sites like YouWager do not ask for your social security number, do not report your winnings to government agencies and allow those 18 and up to place bets.
