Despite years of trying, the various Tribes in California could not come up with a suitable option for allowing online poker sites into the state.  Some Tribal operators wanted PokerStars, for example, others did not.  As a result, legislation was deemed impossible to pass.  A similar barrier to entry is anticipated now that sports betting is permitted in the U.S.

With sites like Americas Cardroom, it is not necessary to provide one's social security number and there are no state taxes imposed.  It is advised that players should claim their winnings when filing state taxes, however, Americas Cardroom does not report these winnings to any state agency such as the IRS.
