Cali iPoker Bill Opponents Call for 10-Year Ban and $60 Million Fine for PokerStars

The Pechanga coalition that is holding up online poker legislation from passing in California issued its list of demands to cease opposition.

In a letter to bill author Assemblyman Adam Gray, the coalition asked for PokerStars to receive a 10-year ban from offering online poker in the state, after which it would be required to pay a $60 million fine prior to being deemed suitable for a license.

In other words, it wants the arm and the leg. All of that would only remove its opposition to the bill, not yet gain its support.
