Vying for California Internet Gambling

The question of in-state gaming in the United States is cropping up still in the international media has the foreign online casinos watch these developments in the United States. With the UIGEA in place, foreign gaming companies have been pushed out of the US market and are being heavily prosecuted and punished for conducting transactions with US players. But of particular interest is whether or not the US Department of Justice is going to allow these in-state gaming laws to exist and operate. Headlining the issue right now is a proposed deal between the Morongo Band of Mission Indians that would have the Indian facing land gambling site powering a California state internet poker gambling site.

Several key groups and analysts have surmised that the UIGEA does not have the power to stop online casinos and poker sites as long as they are operating with the boundaries of a single state – the UIGEA is a federal piece of legislation that stops gambling across state borders. So, with that in mind, it is incredibly likely that California will make online poker legalization a priority. According to the statistics currently available, Californians account for roughly one million of the offshore internet gamblers seeking out online poker in particular.

The online casinos are just one lucrative part of the gambling industry – poker is right up there in potential and a legalized internet poker gambling industry would mean billions in additional revenue coming into the state coffers over the next decade. That level of money simply should not be ignored, particularly since internet poker is already happening, but all of the money is being sent to offshore online gaming sites.
