California Betting Operations to Be Led by Tribes, Says IGA Executive Director
Jason Giles, the executive director of the Indian Gaming Association (IGA), has asserted that Native American tribes will play a pivotal role as the primary sports betting operators in California. Giles emphasized the importance of tribal involvement in any legalization efforts related to betting in the state.
Recent attempts to legalize sports betting in California faced setbacks, with two votes in January seeking to grant exclusive betting rights to tribes ultimately overturned due to strong opposition within the Native American community.
Despite efforts by groups like Eagle1 Acquisitions Corp. to amend ballot initiatives in December to garner more tribal support, these endeavors did not succeed. The California Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) underscored that the failed attempts should serve as a cautionary tale against future legalization efforts that exclude tribal participation.
