The law takes effect on January 1, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>While the new law is pending in the California State Senate, operators of online bingo sites in the state are reportedly taking steps to comply. In a statement released following the Assembly vote, the American Gaming Association (AGA) urged lawmakers to rethink the bill, arguing that it will hurt businesses and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>According to a study commissioned by AGA and conducted by market research firm Harris Interactive, nearly two-thirds (64%) of U.S.<\/p>\n<p> adults who play online bingo say they have won money playing bingo online at least once in their lives. Among adults who have played online bingo at least once in their lives, 59% say they have won money playing bingo online within the past year.<\/p>\n<p>While it is still too early to tell what impact AB 2392 will have on online bingo in California, it is clear that there is significant opposition to the bill from industry groUPS and players alike. If passed into law, AB 2392 could put many small businesses out of business and deprive consumers of an inexpensive and fun way to spend their leisure time.<br \/>\n    <div class=\"btrs-related-posts\">\n                    <h3 id=\"10-related-question-answers-found\" class=\"btrs-related-posts__heading\">10 Related Question Answers Found<\/h3>\n                            <div class=\"btrs-related-posts-card\">\n                                    <h3 id=\"is-online-bingo-legal-in-the-united-states\" class=\"btrs-related-posts__title\">\n                        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bingocardtemplate.org\/in-depth\/is-online-bingo-legal-in-the-united-states\/\">\n                            Is Online Bingo Legal in the United States?                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                                                    <div class=\"btrs-related-posts__content\">The legality of online bingo in the United States is a matter of some debate.

However, generally speaking, online bingo is legal in the US. Some states, such as Nevada, have specific lAWS regulating online bingo, but in general, most states do not have any specific lAWS regulating online bingo.<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"btrs-related-posts-card\">\n                                    <h3 id=\"is-online-bingo-legal-in-us\" class=\"btrs-related-posts__title\">\n                        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bingocardtemplate.org\/in-depth\/is-online-bingo-legal-in-us\/\">\n                            Is Online Bingo Legal in US?                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                                                    <div class=\"btrs-related-posts__content\">Many people are surprised to learn that online bingo is not legal in all 50 states in the United States.
