    Is online sports betting legal in California??

    Hi guys,

    I am new here, I wanted to open up an account on The Greek, but I wasnt sure if it was legal to do it. I am in California, if anyone knows the laws on this that would be great. Thanks!!

    NO, it is NOT illegal to bet over the internet in California. Just click the link provided by WileOut and search for states where internet betting is specifically outlawed.

    Feds don't go after people who place bets, they go after operations taking bets.
