The Politicians Decide

The state of California is pretty broke right now, the government is out of cash and there are very few viable options that will create and generate the level of revenue that the state will need to really affect any sort of change. That’s where the online casino poker situation comes into debate. Several strong politicians have begun to argue hard for the legalization of intrastate poker gambling that is fully regulated and taxed by the California gambling authorities. Land gambling in the state is already maxed out on the Indian reservations and the online casinos are federally illegal. But the game of poker is a whole different story, there is a strong movement to consider poker a skill based game and thus worthy of full and unregulated access to US gamblers.

The California politicians are wise not to argue this point, but rather to fight for the legislature approval on bills that would give online poker sites legal and regulated access. Indian gaming reservations would also have access to licensed internet poker gambling. The politicians wisely argue that the state of California is losing a lot of potential tax revenue every single day because US citizens are forced to look toward the banned offshore online casinos for poker and chance gaming action.

The legislature in California has now thoroughly debated the pros and cons of legalized online poker gambling in the state (and only for California residents to avoid issues with the UIGEA) and the measure is up for vote. The money making potential is huge and it is thought by the online casinos and internet poker companies that this could be a huge swaying factor for legislators.
