California’s top law enforcement official is preparing to take action against fantasy sports operators following his recent determination that their contests violate state gambling laws, and the state’s tribes that initially requested the opinion Thursday spoke out in support.
“The spread of unscrupulous and illegal commercial gaming in California has exploded over the past decade,” the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) said in a statement shared with InGame. “We commend Attorney General [Rob] Bonta for vowing to enforce gaming laws thus protecting California consumers and the legal gaming industry as a whole. We call on Attorney General Bonta to immediately issue cease and desist orders to all providers of illegal daily fantasy sports platforms currently operating in California in accordance with the law.”
