Jurisdiction legal note for Northern California readers
Important: as of August 30, 2026 the State of California has not authorized a regulated, statewide online sports‑betting market. Multiple recent legislative and administrative reviews confirm that commercial online sports wagering remains unlawful in California; state lawmakers, regulators and the attorney general have continued to treat sports betting products and certain prediction‑market or sweepstakes models as subject to criminal or civil enforcement. If you are physically located in California you cannot lawfully use the licensed mobile sportsbooks that operate in other U.S. states. (sbud.senate.ca.gov)
