SGLA criticises California committee approval of sweepstakes gaming ban
The Social Gaming Leadership Alliance criticised the California Assembly Governmental Organisation Committee’s approval of AB 831, which would prohibit online social games with sweepstakes promotions. The group said the bill could eliminate more than $1 billion in annual economic activity and urged Governor Gavin Newsom to veto it if it advances; the bill returns to the Assembly for concurrence.
The bill’s progress could change the legal position of sweepstakes gaming operators in California.
