California Senate Bill 51 proposes to enact Business and Professions Code sections 19990.01 through 19990.96, comprising “The Internet Gambling Consumer Protection and Public-Private Partnership Act of 2013.”
Among its proposals, California Senate Bill 51 would establish a framework to authorize intrastate internet gambling, authorizing eligible entities to apply to the California Gambling Control Commission for a 5-year license to operate an intrastate internet gambling web site. California Senate Bill 51 would prohibit the offer or play of any gambling game provided over the internet not authorized by the state under this bill. The license applicant would have to pay an application deposit to the Commission to be deposited into the Internet Gambling Licensing Fund created by California Senate Bill 51.
