It's Not an Online Casino: 2

Online the side of the Pauma tribe is most likely the law – gambling is only considered gambling if there is an element of risk for the player. In the current setup, the site does not operate like an online casino; the players have no real money passing through the site. That in and of itself makes it legal for the Pauma tribe to operate the online gaming site. But with the controversy has come increased scrutiny and now it seems that the state and the watchdog groups are going to place some very nitpicky restrictions on the online gambling site and the Pauma tribe.

According to recent information on the investigation into the legality of the Pauma gaming site, the process by which the company launched the site was premature and did not obtain the proper permits. GameLogic, the software provider for the Pauma online casino gaming site, has apparently not finished the licensing process in the state of California. This detail may not be enough to shut the site down from operating but it may be enough to give the tribe a bit of a headache sorting out the legalities of the situation.

Additionally, another concern for the tribe is the state’s questioning of whether or not the online gaming site violates the “reservation-only” gaming clause that all tribes operate under. The Pala Band of Mission Indians live on the Pauma Valley reservation and one of the many debates is whether the gaming site breaches the extent to which the Pauma tribe may advertise and offer land casino gambling.
