Online gambling in California is becoming more popular. The laws that restrict the activities of virtual casinos in the United States have been approved. Americans can choose from thousands of independent online gambling sites.

America became the pioneer in the field of virtual gambling. The first virtual platform in America was opened in 1997. In 2006, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed. Commercial websites were banned, but Californians spend a lot of free time on such resources.

Since 2011, different American states have been considering laws that may increase loyalty to virtual gambling. According to forecasts, every American gambling platform is a potential major taxpayer. Legalization of such platforms may positively affect the economic situation.

There are more than 160 casinos in California. Most of them operate in the form of card clubs or casinos opened by Native Americans. The Graton California Casino opened in 2013 and offers 3,000 slot machines and 144 tables. There are 62 casinos located in 27 counties. Virtual casinos are not yet legal in this state. However, they are very popular. They are available in San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Rohnert Park.
