Prop 26: What To Know About The Tribal California Sports Betting Measure

Prop 26 and Prop 27 are two options to legalize sports betting in California. Prop 26 is for tribal casinos and racetracks, and for online California sportsbooks.

Californians can legalize sports betting in person at tribal casinos and racetracks by voting yes on Prop 26 on Nov. 8. Online sportsbooks could launch in 5 to 10 years.

Prop 26 is a ballot proposal that would legalize retail sports betting at tribal casinos and horse tracks throughout California for anyone 21 and older. There would be no betting on teams from California colleges. Prop 27 allows betting only on "competitive or novelty events".

YES on 26 has the financial backing of more than 10 tribes and support from multiple unions and organizations throughout the state. No on No 26 is financially supported by cardrooms and a few unions. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans support the proposition.

Prop 26 would expand gambling and give private citizens the right to sue over illegal gambling operations. Tribal casino operators are the main supporters of the proposal.

Prop 26 would legalize sports betting at California's tribal casinos and state-licensed racetracks. Tribal casinos would also get the right to offer ball and dice games like roulette and craps at their properties.

Prop 26 is a measure that would give Native Americans of Graton Rancheria, Chitanga Band of Indians, Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Agua Caliente Band, Cahuilla Indians and Barona Band.

The 2022 California election will be held on November 8th. Every registered voter will receive a ballot by mail in the weeks before Election Day.

Prop 26 would not change the law on gambling in California. New compacts between the state and gaming tribes would be drawn up to include the expanded gambling. The governor would then approve the new compact.
