Headline from ABC 17 Mid-Missouri

California could plausibly support a regulated online gambling market worth roughly $12 billion a year. That would bring in more than $1 billion in tax revenue for the state every year. But California doesn’t have a regulated online gambling market. Neither does Texas, at an estimated $9.5 billion.
