The California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) in June formally reached out to members of the commercial online sports betting industry seeking “input from prospective Vendors and Partners” as it works toward shaping a 2028 ballot initiative.

Per the calendar in the Request for Information (RFI), obtained by InGame late last week, CNIGA should now be in the process of meeting with “selected respondents” for further discussion. The RFI is dated June 3, industry submissions were due July 1, and a CNIGA working group reviewed submissions in July and August before inviting some companies to offer more information.

It is not clear which or how many commercial sports betting entities or vendors CNIGA invited to reply.
