As of my last update in early 2023, online sports betting, including platforms like DraftKings, was not fully legal in California. The state had not passed legislation to allow for legal online sports betting, although there were efforts and discussions ongoing to potentially legalize it in the future.
However, California does allow Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), which is different from sports betting. DraftKings operates a DFS platform in California, where users can participate in fantasy contests for cash prizes.
It’s important to note that the legal landscape can change rapidly, and new laws or regulations could be enacted after my last update. For the most current information regarding the legality of betting on DraftKings or any other platform in California, you should check the latest state laws or consult with a legal expert. Additionally, DraftKings itself provides information regarding where its services are legal. Always ensure that you are in compliance with the current laws and regulations before participating in any form of gambling or betting.
