68 Percent of Californians Want Online Poker

A recent survey conducted by the Coalition for Consumer & Online Protection (C4COP) has found that 68% of California residents are in favor of online poker legalization. 

The poll was conducted April 15-21 just days before it was revealed that the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, which operate California’s three largest card clubs, have agreed to join forces with PokerStars once poker is legalized in the Golden State.

The arrangement will give Californians access to the world’s largest and most popular online poker brand in a safe and locally-regulated environment. The organizations will work together to advocate for legislation that extends California’s tough, long-established gaming regulations to include intrastate online poker and thus ensure stringent consumer protection, consumer choice and maximum revenue for the state.  

The C4COP survey also found that 27% of California residence were against legalizing online poker in the state.
