Online Poker in California

Could it be possible that it will soon be legal to play online poker in California? Well the process definitely began this week that could lead to a poker players dreams. California Senate held a very informative meeting this week.

The meeting lasted all day and gave many different sources a chance to testify and answer questions about how online poker would affect California. People in attendance included the PPA, Native American Leaders, International online poker providers, anti-gambling advocates and others. Everyone was able to share their views to the senate about legalizing online poker in California.

When it comes down to legalizing online poker, money could be the decision maker for the Senate. The cash strapped state is looking for ways to get some cash flowing into California and realize that all gambling proceeds as of now are going offshore. California could look to profit $650 million over the next 5 yrs if they legalize online poker. So while the states are starting to line up for online poker we are all keeping our eyes on the higher card….the US Senate.
