On Wednesday evening, the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) and the Tribal Alliance of Sovereign Indian Nations (TASIN) issued a joint statement addressing a report published by Casino Reports on Tuesday, “which suggested that tribes and commercial entities had reached an agreement on a California sports betting plan,” the group wrote.

The referenced report was initially titled “Tribes, Commercial Entities Agree In Principle On Legal California Sports Betting Plan,” and was subsequently modified to its current version entitled “Tribes, Commercial Entities Consider Similar Plan For Legal California Sports Betting.”

The remainder of the statement from CNIGA and TASIN is as follows.
