California is the most sought-after of the 15 states that do not currently allow sports betting because it is the largest state, with 39.24 million residents as of the end of 2021.The fact that tribal casino operators in California do not give the state their customary revenue is not mentioned in the document. It also fails to mention that the tribes want to put the state's cardrooms out of business, which would probably put some of the towns where they are located in financial ruin and jeopardize vital services like parks and 911 police.
It's likely to annoy the state's pari-mutuel operators that the filing also emphasizes California tribal casino entities as the only operators with the experience required to run sports wagering in the state.
