In a few weeks, California voters will have the future of legal sports betting in their hands. Propositions 26 and 27 will be on the ballots concerning California’s law regarding sports gambling.
Proposition 26 would specifically legalize in-person sports betting in California at certain tribal casinos and horse racing tracks.
Only people 21 or older would be able to participate in sports betting at racetracks if the proposition is passed. Age restrictions for sports gambling at tribal casinos would need to be negotiated by each tribe and California’s governor.
The tribes won’t be taxed, but the proposition will require tribes to reimburse the state for the cost of regulating sports betting.
