But California’s gaming tribes aren’t on board, and it’s unclear who’s bankrolling the effort.
Proponents have filed with the state Attorney General’s Office to launch a pair of proposed measures for the November 2024 ballot that would allow on-site and online sports betting in California through the state’s recognized Indian tribes. Now, a mystery player has anted up for another round at the ballot box. California voters last year dealt a crushing bust to a pair of competing ballot initiatives to legalize sports wagering, but the Golden State is too big of a prize for gaming interests to just fold and walk away.
