Online gambling in California
October 7, 2008, 10:01 am (3 years ago)A very contentious and much argued piece of California legislation that is going to permit benevolent organizations including the Catholic Church to run and collect income via “remote caller bingo” and televised games linked by electronic means to hundreds of locations providing six-figure prizes, has allegedly been signed off by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Critics of the legislation allege it is going to as well authorize Californian tribal casinos to enlarge their gambling managements onto the Internet, producing the furthermost growth of legal gambling in California's history. This competition would in turn harshly decline the practicality of the California Lottery as a potential income source.
The base for this dispute is that Remote Caller Bingo via Internet technology could cause a obscure section buried in the Indian gaming compact, inferred as permitting casinos running under the compact to utilize the Internet for gambling if that technology is opened up to anyone else in California.
