Bill Dodd, D-Napa<\/strong> tried to introduce betting legislation in 2020 across the state. <\/p>\n<p>The proposed legislation made provision for commercial casinos to offer betting services and for online betting to be allowed. However, tribal casino operators in the state strongly opposed the bill and the bill was withdrawn. <\/p>\n<p>Commercial casinos and card rooms in California are not in favour of this legislation as it gives the tribes rights to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/games\/sports-betting\">offer sports betting<\/a> but restricts them from doing so. The proposed legislation that the tribes are backing does not support online betting which commercial casinos are pushing for.<\/p>\n<p>Dodd said that California needs to legalize sports betting but the bill backed by tribal operators\u2019 looks to unfairly prevent their competitors from offering sports betting services. Dodd expects top betting operators like <strong>FanDuel<\/strong> and <strong>DraftKings<\/strong> to finance and back a campaign to push for sports betting legalization that will allow commercial casinos and operators to get a piece of this lucrative betting market. <\/p>\n<p><strong>NBC 7 San Diego<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is Sports Betting Coming to California?| Politically Speaking | NBC 7 San Diego\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MS1jU3kX1sk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"north-bay-tribes-back-new-bill\">North Bay Tribes Back New Bill<\/h2>\n<p><strong>North Bay tribal casino operators<\/strong> are backing a new bill that was placed on the Nov 2020 ballot and qualified. This bill pushes for sports betting to be legalized at the four licensed horse tracks in the state as well as tribal casinos that are based on native lands. This new bill will also permit tribal casinos to offer games like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/games\/craps\">craps<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/games\/roulette\">roulette<\/a> and dice games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria<\/strong> and <strong>the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians<\/strong> are two of the bigger tribes that have backed this bill. Tribal casino operators have so far pumped in $11.5 million to campaign for this bill to be legalized and $1.7 million of these funds came from Graton Rancheria.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal casino operators claim that it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/news\/california-tribes-get-90-day-extension-on-their-sports-betting-initiative\">time for California to legalize sports betting<\/a> as Californians are currently engaging in illegal sports betting and the state is losing out on a lot of funds.
