Senate Bill 1463 is up for debate today in the California Senate. This will be the first major hearing of the online gambling bill. The bill was created in order to create structure to approve intrastate online gambling. The Internet Gambling Consumer Protection and Public-Private Partnership Act of 2012 would regulate and license online gaming and tax the gross revenue.Many Indian tribes oppose the bill as they have exclusive rights to offer gaming on video devices.Back when tribal gaming began in California in the late 1990s, video gaming devices meant slot machines. Nowadays a video gaming device could be a desktop computer - or the phone in nearly everyone's pocket.In an effort to be prepared if the bill passes, the United Auburn Indian Community, owners of Thunder Valley Casino, entered into a 10-year agreement with London-based Bwin.party Digital Entertainment PLC, the world's largest listed online gaming company.The tribe doesn't feature online gaming of any kind, but it took the step to forge the partnership should California law be changed to allow online gaming.<a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2012/06/11/calif-online-gambling-bill-up-for-debate.html" >source</a>
