Proposition 27, also known as the Legalize Sports Betting and Revenue for Homelessness Prevention Fund Initiative was a California ballot proposition that was defeated overwhelmingly by voters in the general election on November 8, 2022. The proposition would have legalized online and mobile sports betting platforms that are associated with an existing gaming tribe.[1]
Proposition 27 was most notable for its large amount of advertising spending and very large margin of defeat, its 82.28% against to 17.72% in favor marks it as one of the largest margins of defeat for any proposition in history. With both Proposition 27 and the similar Proposition 26 failing, sports betting remains illegal in California.[2][3]
