Temporary Hold

The Morongo Band of Mission Indians for months now has been aggressively and actively pursuing the legalization of online casino poker gambling in California. Those efforts have been echoed at the political level as there are several key politicians vying for new regulations in the state that would control offshore and foreign internet poker gambling and harness the industry so that the State of California is able to take a piece of the revenues being generate by this industry. The Morongo Tribe has actively pursued this issue with the hopes of then being one of the state companies able to launch online casino poker within the state.

In that regard, the online casinos themselves are strictly taboo in the United States because of Federal level legislation, the UIGEA. But there is a strong argument at hand that the internet poker industry is exempt from the constraints of the UIGEA if it is practiced within state borders and only the game of internet poker.

In a surprising move this week though, the Morongo Tribe announced that they were stopping their efforts to legalize internet poker in the state, at least for now. That being said, the Tribe does plant to step back into the game in January once again – and to that end, the Tribe will actually double efforts and really push for change in California in regards to the online casino poker gambling industry. Many politicians in the State of California plan to also push really strongly for the legalization of internet poker at the start of the new year.
