About the Bill
The Bill that will ease gambling constraints here for online poker is co-authored by a top Democrat Senator, Darrell Steinberg. He is quick to reassure that the bill is hinged on the certainty of significant returns coming to the state by means of legal online poker gaming. The bill’s co-author Senator Rod Wright is also instrumental in detailing another measure that focuses on sports wagering.
According to this proposed legislation for legalizing online poker, if the game is made legal, the state could add another $200 million to its general fund. There has been a great deal of disagreement over the bill and what it should contain. This can be attributed quite heavily to the fact that wealthy gaming tribes here in the state have not been able to come to a consensus regarding the bill’s focal points.
What will the Bill Do?
If it is passed, this bill will open up the California market to online poker gaming. As of now horse racing, tribal gaming, lottery and card clubs do exist here and function within the legal framework of the state’s laws. However, California residents keen on playing real money poker games can only do so by visiting Nevada, which is exempted from the earlier act prohibiting these activities.
The bill’s proponents are hoping to present their case convincingly by bringing out the statistics about the amount of wagers made by poker players in California at sites based beyond borders. The figures are impressive enough to persuade those in high places that these monies could better be diverted towards the state’s funds instead by bringing online poker casinos under state purview.
To begin with, the bill proposes that 10 year licenses be offered to operators who are willing to launch poker sites. These licenses will be available to all interested operators. Officials intend to implement a $30 million initial payment to obtain the license. This will keep small operators and fly- by- night casinos away, they believe. A poker room that is willing to invest such a staggering amount will be serious about maintaining the highest standards of online poker playing to ensure that it attracts the right kind of players.
Legislation to Impact Sports Betting
Poker players are not the only ones who will benefit if new legislative measures proposed are accepted. Another measure impacts sports betting quite significantly too. This one will legalize sports wagers made at licensed casinos and other gambling establishments that carry a license. As of now this kind of betting is prohibited in most states across the U.S. If this measure does go through in California, there may be wide reaching protests against the Fed law prohibiting it in other states.
As with any other piece of legislation there is some criticism to this bill too. Surprisingly, some of the skepticism is coming from the gaming tribes. There is apprehension that this new bill may infringe on the agreements regarding revenue sharing that currently exist between the tribes and the state. It remains to be seen whether California does become a safe haven for poker enthusiasts but meanwhile there is no stopping residents from playing their favorite game at sites beyond the borders.
]]>The ATIG Journey
Atlantic Group’s Tribal Gaming Network was established in the year 2009, after the National Indian Gaming Commission had granted it permission to operate its Virtual Private Network (VPN) in Tribal casinos across the US. With its private network, ATIG has been successful in linking a number of Indian casinos in over 28 states of the US. ATIG has also been successful in introducing some of the best gaming vendors for Class II and Class II games in Tribal casinos. The gaming platform, which is a first of its kind, offers a variety of games including slots, nationwide poker, simulated sportsbook and horse racing, and a variety of other live dealer games. The multi-gaming platform also offers a Lotto product called Thunderball, which is quite similar to Powerball.
ATIG has been the only legal online poker network in the US after the Black Friday in Feb last year. The US DOJ (Department of Justice) has been favorable to ATIG’s Tribal Gaming Network, and the network can now offer games like bingo, poker and more for cash, by linking them online through its private network.
Hope for US Online Gambling
There was a time when the US contributed to more than 60% of the online gambling revenues in the world. The UIGEA Act and Black Friday of poker changed everything. However, the US DOJ had recently stated that the Wire Act is applicable to Sportsbook, and not necessarily gaming platforms. This had many people speculating, and hoping, that a favorable US Internet gaming legislation might soon be passed.
