Californians: Online social gaming is at risk!

AB831 will affect businesses, tribes, and players all over California. Rather than banning online social games with sweepstakes components, Governor Newsom must veto AB 831 and protect the $1 billion in benefits these games bring to the state.

The California legislation is considering #AB831, a bill which would ban online social games with sweepstakes promotions in the state.
