California has become ground zero in America’s fight against unregulated gambling. With the passage of AB 831, the state is taking decisive action to outlaw sweepstakes casinos and curb gray-market activity. This session examines how California’s crackdown is reshaping the industry, influencing national policy, and setting the stage for a broader movement to protect regulated gaming across the United States.
