Four California tribes oppose proposed sweepstakes ban in AB 831
Four California tribes protested in Sacramento against Assembly Bill 831, which would restrict online social games using sweepstakes promotions. The tribes said the proposal would limit their economic opportunities and eliminate more than $1 billion in California economic activity; supporters argue it targets an industry they consider illegal and a threat to tribal sovereignty.
The bill could affect sweepstakes operators and tribes’ potential online gaming revenue in California.
