The California State Assembly on Friday voted in concurrence of Senate amendments added to AB 831, which bans online casino sweepstakes operators in the Golden State.
There was no debate on the floor for Assemblyperson Avelino Valencia’s bill as it passed by a 63-0 vote. It now heads to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk, where he has 30 days to sign or veto the bill. If he takes no action, the bill becomes law at the end of the 30-day period. The Senate moved the bill, 36-0, Tuesday.
Almost immediately after passage, the Social Leadership and Gaming Alliance put out a statement expressing disappointment in the vote.
