For the time being, anyone interested in gambling online will have to take their gaming to one of the US friendly offshore online poker sites or online casinos.
Due to their tribal casinos they aren’t big fans of legalizing online gambling in the state. One of the hurdles the state of California will have to get through when it comes to legalizing online gambling is the Native American community. Online gambling isn’t currently legal in California, but it is possible and even highly likely that it will become legal in the near future. A bill was actually passed by the Assembly Appropriates Committee that would legalize and regulate online poker in California this past June, but it didn’t end up making it past the full Assembly. The fact that so many options already exist in California with regards to betting means most are expecting online gambling to become legalized in California as well. Bingo halls can also be easily found in just about every city throughout the state. There is just under 100 real money poker rooms, over 60 tribal casinos, an abundance of horseracing tracks and many state lotteries. Although not considered 100% legal, there is still a fair amount of gambling legally taking place within its borders. California is one of the easier going states with regards to gambling.
