Federal legislation introduced earlier this month to ban online poker and gambling is putting the heat on California tribes.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz again introduced the Restoration of America’s Wire Act (RAWA) this year, aimed at getting rid of igaming in the U.S., including the Internet poker and gambling regimes already operating in Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey since 2013.

As the nation’s most populous state, an approved online poker bill in California would go a long way toward putting the kibosh on any approval of RAWA by federal lawmakers. California tribes, seven of whom are split into three factions that remain at odds over the inclusion of PokerStars and racetracks in the state’s possible ipoker scheme, continue to hold up progress in advancing online poker legislation.

Confer and compromise
