UNITED STATES—With sports betting now available in many American states, California remains arguably the last massive market still to be opened up in this way. Some of the country’s most populous, sports-loving states now have online and land-based sports betting opportunities for fans. However, the state does have land casinos run by Native American tribes, as this is where the idea of allowing tribal casinos started. The first one is backed by the state’s tribal casinos and, according to ballotpedia.org, would initially see land-only sports betting allowed, at the tribal casinos and horse racing tracks across California. An update to their proposal suggested that online sports betting could be allowed from the tribal casinos, but the details aren’t yet fully clear.
