With the calendar year wrapping up, it is unlikely that any California sports betting legislation will pass before some time in 2024.Įven with so much opposition, there is still hope that California sports betting will become a reality like it has in other states that have legalized sports betting sites. Some state legislators have continued to try in 2023 to put new California sports betting legislation into motion, but opposition from local tribes and multiple lobby groups has made that process difficult. Californians overwhelmingly voted against two propositions on the November 2022 ballot that would have legalized California sports betting in-person at tribal casinos and online. Multiple states across the country have legalized some form of sports betting in 2023, but California remains on the outside looking in.
