Online kasina ve státě California

California has not legalised real-money online casino. That means no operator holds a California licence for casino games, and any site offering them to residents is doing so outside the state's licensing framework. No regulated online casino; no active iGaming bills; strong tribal and cardroom opposition. Gambling is limited to tribal casinos, licensed cardrooms, horse racing and the lottery.

California licenses no online casino gambling; offshore/crypto casinos operate without state authorization and are outside Penal Code gambling authorizations. No specific 2026 state action against offshore operators found in this research. A state that has not legalised online casino has not thereby made an offshore site legal. The practical difference for a player is recourse: there is no state regulator to complain to when something goes wrong.

AB 831 signed 2025-10-11, effective 2026-01-01: unlawful to operate, offer, conduct, market or promote dual-currency online sweepstakes casino games; misdemeanor penalties ($1,000-$25,000 fine, up to 1 year jail per vegasinsider). Major operators exited California by 2025-12-31. Sweepstakes sites use virtual currencies that can be redeemed for prizes, a structure that let them operate in states without licensed online casino. A wave of state legislation in 2025 and 2026 closed that route in a growing number of states.
