Online Poker Lobbying Group in California Quits

The reality that online poker is NOT coming to California soon finally reached consensus with a lobbying group specifically created to push for legalization.  The California Online Poker Association announced its winding down earlier this month, reported by GGBiGames.com.

The politics of the various tribes sunk the opportunity.  The tribes have a great deal of influence in California politics, particularly when it comes to gaming.  Since the tribes were not in alignment, online poker wasn't going anywhere.  Something eventually will come along, but probably not until enough other states move forward and California is faced with falling behind and losing revenue.
