California has officially given up on passing online poker legislation in 2015 but somehow found the time to introduce a purely symbolic new sports betting bill.

Friday marks the close of the 2015 California legislative session, and with it goes the hope of passing any of the state’s competing online poker bills this year. California’s stakeholders were never on the same page, with some tribes pitted against other tribes over the participation of Amaya Gaming’s PokerStars, and some (but not all) tribes against the participation of state racetracks.

Matters weren’t helped by upheaval at the California Gambling Control Commission, which lost its chairman and two commissioners in rapid succession, with some members leaving under considerably less of a cloud than others.

Despite a symbolic victory in May, which saw the state’s first favorable committee vote on an online poker bill, this was only possible because Assemblyman Adam Gray’s AB 431 contained no specifics whatsoever and served only as a means of keeping legislative hopes alive so stakeholder negotiations could continue.
