California and Florida – combined home to nearly 20% of the American population – are stuck in a dance of death when it comes to online sports betting and online casinos. Why? Because of ongoing battles among state governments, tribal governments, and Big Gaming.

In short: Everyone wants their share of the online gambling world, and no one is willing to budge. In Florida, the entire online gaming industry waits for court cases to inform where it’s headed. In California, dueling initiatives will be on the ballot this November.

And then there’s Michigan, where the tribes, the government, and the operators are all happily doing the tango – and printing money while they’re at it.
