    Online poker in California legalized in 2016 with/without PokerStars?

    They seem to have solved the horse racing industry hangup. The PokerStars issue will be more problematic. California online poker and the willingness to compact with other states is crucial to the future of legal American online poker. About 11% of all Americans are Californians. Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware got the ball rolling but have been mostly a fail so far.

    Will always be a fail til they have all the states playing in the same pool. The black market sites will continue to absolutely shit on the regulated ones bc of player pool . . .

    The Pokerstars thing is going to seemingly drag forever.

    There's no end in sight with that one, because everyone knows Stars has the superior software (and brand recognition), and will blow away the other fail rooms.

    So the non-Pokerstars tribes/cardrooms are sticking to this bad actor thing, and the Pokerstars ones are demanding they be allowed in. I don't see a solution coming any time soon.
