Little Hope for Online Poker in California as 2016 Legislative Session Winds Down
Key Takeaways
  • Poker Players Alliance stated that the most recent amendments would impose a lifetime ban on PokerStars’ intellectual property.
  • In an effort to make progress on the issue of online poker, it seems the bill’s main sponsor Adam Gray has created more opposition.
  • Apparently the lockout for PokerStars is not long enough to appease the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians and Lytton Band of Pomo Indians.

With just over a week before the 2016 legislative session is scheduled to conclude, the prospects that online poker will be legalized and regulated in California look dim.
