If California voters legalize online sports wagering this year, it could raise hundreds of millions to fight homelessness.
California voters could make it legal to wager on sports games this year while also taking a big step forward in the state’s fight against homelessness.
Football fans watch the action on wall-mounted video screens in the sports betting lounge at the Ocean Resort Casino, Sept. 9, 2018, in Atlantic City, The U.S. Supreme Court ended the federal prohibition on sports betting in 2018, opening the doors for states to legalize the practice. About 30 states have taken that step so far. Although many Californians already bet on sports in unregulated forums, lawmakers failed to come up with a plan to legalize the practice and unite the state’s various gambling interests. As a result, voters may have to wade through competing and confusing measures.
“We can’t continue to keep working around the edges here and providing short-term solutions to a problem that’s decades in the making,” said Christopher Marin, policy director for the advocacy organization Housing California.
