Proposition 27, introduced in California, aimed to legalize online sports betting, allowing licensed operators to offer wagering through mobile platforms. Advocates argued it would generate significant tax revenue for the state, funding homelessness services and mental health programs. However, opponents raised concerns about potential gambling addiction and the impact on vulnerable communities. The measure faced criticism for its reliance on large corporations and was part of a broader debate on the regulation of sports betting in the state. Ultimately, Prop 27 was rejected by voters in the November 2022 election.
