Both California Online, Retail Sports Betting Ballot Initiatives Fail

Both California sports betting ballot initiatives have been defeated by state voters. It was the most expensive proposition cycle in California election history.

Both Sports Betting Initiatives Have Failed in California. Prop 27 aimed to legalize California online sports betting for operators partnered with California Tribes. Proposition 26 would have legalized retail sports gambling for California Tribal Casinos, four state racetracks and expanded gaming opportunities for tribal casinos. The opposing propositions were also defeated by voters. The Coalition for Safe, Responsible Gaming is grateful to the voters who rejected out-of-state gambling corporations. It is committed to bringing legalized, safe and responsible online betting to California voters and to its local governments.

Both California online and retail sports betting propositions failed in the general election. The next election cycle to allow for ballot propositions will be in 2024. DraftKings CEO Jason Robins and FanDuel CEO Amy Howe are interested in backing another online sports gambling proposition in that year. California Gov. Gavin Newsom decried Prop 27 and the perceived harm it would cause California tribes. Major League Baseball supported the online proposition. California Democratic and Republican parties opposed the retail proposition and its support of out-of-state sportsbetting companies.
