Online poker efforts in California this year took a hit yesterday.
According to the L.A. Times, state Sen. Lou Correa said that he is shelving his online poker bill for 2014. The other bill in the legislature, sponsored by Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer, has not had any traction and appears to be drawing slim.
There just isn’t enough time in the current legislative session to get the votes, according to the report. For the past five years, online poker in California has been doomed by gaming interests in the state, both commercial and tribal, being unable to come to a consensus on all the provisions in a bill. It’s an immensely complex issue that will create winners and losers.
Just to name one example: Some want the so-called “bad actor clause” in a bill, which would prohibit a firm like PokerStars—the largest of its kind in the world in terms of traffic—from being involved, at least immediately. Others, especially PokerStars’ partner, want no such provision.
According to the L.A. Times, Las Vegas casino boss Sheldon Adelson has spent $309,000 during the last nine months to try to thwart progress on web gaming legislation in California.
Adelson, owner of Las Vegas Sands Corp., is against online gaming in the United States because he thinks it will take away from the brick-and-mortar side of things.
California is looking to legalize Internet poker only.
This year is an election year in the Golden State, and that makes it also less likely for the politics to be right for something to be done before 2015, according to I. Nelson Rose, a leading expert on U.S. gaming law. Rose is confident it will be legalized eventually, though.
The snail’s pace on this issue presumably has caused one tribe in California to venture into the online gaming space on its own, without Internet poker legalization. The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel recently established a poker platform, saying that it is able to do so because of its sovereign rights under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Currently, just Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey have web gambling industries.
California is the most populous state in the country and considered big enough to support a healthy web poker industry on its own, without having to partner.
Online poker may come to California sooner than expected. As reported by CaliforniaOnlinePoker.com, the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel Indians could launch real money online poker in the state as soon as Monday.
Marco Valerio was the first to report on the tribe’s intentions. The tribe has already launched PrivateTable.com as a free-play online poker site but Sacramento attorney Martin Owens revealed to Valerio that real money play could start as early as Monday morning.
Valerio also posted a press release that was provided by Owen. In that release, the Santa Ysabel have chosen to rely on tribal sovereignty and the provisions from the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) to offer online poker from their reservation.
According to the Press Release, “California Tribes have been actively involved in gaming in the state since the passage of Proposition 1A in 1999. The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel successfully negotiated a Tribal-State gaming compact with California in 2003 and operated the Santa Ysabel Casino from the Tribe’s reservation.
The regulatory structure implemented by the Santa Ysabel Gaming Commission is more stringent than the regulatory requirements contained in either of California’s proposed I-gaming legislative proposals currently under consideration by the California Legislature.
Spokesman Dave Vialpando was also quoted in the release, stating, “The Tribe supports the effort by the Legislature to enact interactive gambling legislation in the State, but has decided to rely on the tribal sovereignty and the provisions of the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) to offer I-poker from the Tribe’s reservation. Santa Ysabel Interactive currently has no plans to offer Internet-based slot machines or banked-games through its website, PrivateTable.com, but will consider offering other gaming consistent with IGRA.”
The site will only spread real money online poker to California residents 18 years of age and older. Players will be able to make deposits through the Financial Payment Network, or FinPay for short. Deposit options include credit cards, electronic checks, Bitcoin and in person at the tribe’s smoke shop.

One unique option of PrivateTable over other legal U.S. online poker sites is the ability to conduct player-to-player transfers. Transfers do come with a catch. Players must earn 3.3 Status Points for every $1 transferred in order to make a withdrawal.
