California’s online poker bill is headed for a vote on the state Assembly floor after a favorable vote by the Assembly Appropriations committee.

On Wednesday, the Appropriations committee officially approved Assemblyman Adam Gray’s AB 2863 legislation, setting up what will be the first online poker floor vote by the full Assembly, two-thirds of which need to approve the bill for it to progress to the state Senate.

The bill received only one ‘no’ vote from the committee, although several members abstained from voting, and many members who’d announced that they would be voting ‘aye’ suggested they could vote ‘nay’ on the Assembly floor if their remaining concerns weren’t addressed.

The bill received a number of amendments before last week’s Assembly committee hearing – mostly concerned with the lingering ‘bad actor’ and ‘tainted assets’ issues surrounding Amaya Gaming’s PokerStars brand – and much of Wednesday’s debate revolved around these issues.

Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are rowing across the Atlantic—figuratively speaking, of course—to bring their Gemini cryptocurrency exchange to the United Kingdom.

The twin brothers and former Olympic rowers announced early this week they are opening an exchange in London, where UK residents can buy and sell bitcoins as well as ether. Gemini customers in Britain can buy ether with bitcoin or even sell ether for bitcoin.

The Winklevoss brothers, who were made famous by the Hollywood film “The Social Network,” became digital currency entrepreneurs in late 2015—after winning a $65 million settlement from Facebook—when they launched online marketplace Gemini in New York. Several months later, Gemini became the world’s first licensed ether exchange.

Tyler Winklevoss told The Telegraph: “We know there’s been a lot of demand for our services in the UK, we know there’s a strong desire, New York and London are financial capitals of the world and speak the same language.”

On the eve of the referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union, most bookies predict that the Remain vote will eventually prevail. The million-dollar question is: will their political prediction come true for the third time?

If their track record will be the basis, The Independent reported that bookies are able to predict the outcome of two of the three recent major political events in the UK – the Scottish referendum when they predicted a No vote when some polls suggests a Yes vote and when they consistently made the Tories the largest political party, which is contrary to the forecast of some polls suggesting a Labour victory.

The only time when oddsmaker made a wrong guess was when it predicted that the Conservative will not become a majority political party. Still, the spread betting markets got closer to the truth than the most of the pollsters.

Now that British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens who are resident in the UK or Gibraltar are set to troop to the polling precincts to cast their votes, majority of the betting operators are confident that the UK will not leave the European Union (EU) and has made the Remain camp the odds-on favorite.
