Geoff ZochodneThe cat is out of the bag: someone is trying to legalize retail and online sports betting sites again in California. succeed? History tells us no, but the potential prize is so large that another attempt is not necessarily surprising, even if this campaign came as something of a surprise.
So what’s in these latest measures that were filed with the state's attorney general? Covers took a peek under the hood of what’s being proposed, although that may be all that ever happens with these initiatives. That is much different from the 2022 ballot battle, which saw two measures put to voters that were really in opposition to each other, one seeking retail wagering for the tribes and the other aiming to offer statewide online sports betting.
The measure would amend the California constitution to allow federally recognized Native American tribes to offer online and in-person sports betting. Sports wagering would then only be legal at tribal gaming facilities and online platforms. The earliest wagering could begin is September 1, 2025. Tribes can offer just one individually branded online sportsbook and it would have to be their brand that is used.
Tribes could use a third party to help them run their online sportsbooks, but those contractors could receive no more than 40% of net revenues from the operation and the contracts are capped at seven-year terms. All of this is outlined in a “Model Form Sports Wagering Compact Amendment” that is contained in the proposed legislation, which tribes could choose to use if they want, or they could negotiate their own deal with the state instead.
