Because of the serious concerns in the structure and issues surrounding the California Intrastate Bill, right now Morongo Tribe backs down in their partnership with various California card room operators.
This back down plan while temporary in nature is expected to change based on the fine-tuning necessary for the proposal. While Morongo Tribe still continues to have good relationship with the supporters of the bill in legalizing online gaming in California, they have expressed their position to back down from this plan.
They are supposed to shoulder a good sum of the proposal but because of them backing down at the moment, serious review of the proposal is in place and funding may be sought as well. If funding is not sought soon, then the proposal may face serious problems.
The serious opposition of Pechanga Tribe in this proposal is a major concern of the proponents of the bill. Likewise because two major tribes are having serious concerns regarding this proposal, some Indian tribe gaming operators are likewise waiting and seeing. While their position is not to oppose the proposal, they are not expressing support or opposition; they are just waiting for things to happen.
Thus, proponents of the bill needs a stronger and more solid proposal, especially because it is scheduled for another presentation on January 2010, they should immediately address concerns and fine-tune the proposal to ensure that support from other gaming organizations will be assured.
For the gaming public, this means that UIGEA or Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 will continue to affect them. This will therefore limit their enjoyment of online gaming.
While the bill is good to avoid problem gambling issues among Americans. Some people who are disciplined and professional online gamers continue to be affected by this bill.
Of course, the American online gaming public may find a way to enjoy poker and other casino games either online or offline; the recent economic turmoil may stop them from traveling far and wide to visit brick and mortar casinos for their gaming needs.
This will surely stop them from enjoying poker and other casino games because of the limitations. While there are other casino games that they can enjoy online, limitations on deposits and transfer of funds will surely affect them.
If the proposal to legalize online gaming in California is passed, it will help some online gamers enjoy the game without worry of transferring funds.
While the current bill, which is UIGEA stops problem gambling from being problem gamblers themselves, those who wants casino gaming online as a way to de-stress is being impeded as well.
