Five of the seven sportsbooks behind the mobile California sports betting proposal added another $50 million to the campaign’s coffers in July.
Unfortunately for those sportsbooks, though, opponents of the proposal have cash to spend too. Since June 1, 12 tribal organizations added $88.8 million to oppose mobile California sportsbooks.
That more than doubled the cash given thus far to oppose Prop 27, bringing the total to $157.8 million, according to the California Secretary of State‘s database. Support for Prop 27 is just shy of that total at $150 million.
Who chipped in more for mobile California sports betting?
The additional $50 million came from four well-known operators and a fifth that has yet to launch:
- Fanatics: $12.5 million
- Penn Entertainment: $12.5 million
- BetMGM: $8.3 million
- DraftKings: $8.3 million
- FanDuel: $8.3 million
