Amaya confident access to California online poker market will come soon

California may have given up already on passing its online poker legislation this year, but Amaya Gaming is not raising the white flag yet.

Eric Hollreiser, vice president of corporate communications for Amaya, told Financial Post that there’s a “a lot of momentum” during the legislative session, so they are confident that it’s only a matter of time before their efforts pay off.

“Obviously, we’re hoping that it’s sooner rather than later,” Hollreiser said, according to the report.

The Canada-based online gaming company is actively lobbying to enter the U.S. gambling market even though only three states—Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware—have legalized online gambling to this day.
