Flaws in California's Bill

The Poker Players Alliance made a bold move this month with the announcement that the PPA was not actually going to support the latest online casino poker bill that was up for consideration in the State Senate. Bill 1485 angered a lot of gambling groups both within the online casino gambling industry and outside of the industry because it attempted to create a much different and more complex system than what is already in place all over the world. The PPA feels that the bill’s writers felt the need to reinvent the wheel when they were designing a system of regulation for the online casinos and gambling groups offering the sites. Europe and much of the rest of the developed world has a working model for the internet gambling industry that has worked well and it’s surprising that the bill’s writers went to such extremes to change the system.

That’s the crux of the problem for a lot of politicians as well as others within the online casino gambling industry, the bill simply does not create a system for California poker that falls within the federal rules and also takes into consideration the gambling interests that already exist within California. Including new online gaming sites launching out of Las Vegas just does not make sense when California gamblers already have their own land casinos that are branded and trusted. The bill overlooks the current Californian market and was therefore far too flawed to pass through any further in the Senate.

As the bill goes through a re-write there are definitely important changes taking place in other areas of the US that may eventually have an effect on the legalization of a California online casino and poker gambling industry. New Hampshire is on the brink of new internet gambling sites and several other sites are passing the regulations now.
