There are already plans for a public referendum on sports betting and a number of politicians have already demonstrated support for the idea.Īlthough technically not sports betting, it is legal to play daily fantasy sports on sites such as DraftKings, FanDuel or OwnersBox, as well as horse race betting online in California through sites such as TwinSpires.
Right now there are no licensed or regulated ways to bet on sports in California but like we said, hopefully, that will change soon. And with the recent Supreme Court decision that opened the door to regulated sports gambling, it’s only a matter of time until California passes sports betting legislation.
Given its size and love of pro sports, California is one of the most eagerly-anticipated sports betting markets in the United States. However, daily fantasy sports and horse racing sites operate legally in the state. Sports betting in California is sadly still not legal.
