Is it legal to bet at BetStars sportsbook in California?

BetStars is a sportsbook and online gambling platform operating as part of Stars Interactive, a division of Canadian gambling company, The Stars Group Inc.. However, BetStars remains unavailable to residents in California.

Sports betting in California is going through a transitional period. Dog and horse racing remain the biggest items available to punters, and even then only through a select group of sportsbooks, which does’t include BetStars as things stand—though that could change.

After the move to repeal the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), California has made fast moves to transform its gambling legislature. Kindred Group predicted 2020 will be the year in which California moves to regulate sports betting.

BetStars’ sister company PokerStars functions as the flagship arm under The Stars Group’s umbrella and has helped cultivate a reliable name for the brand.

The BetStars app is available to download for both iOS and Android devices. You can also check out their promotions page for frequently updated offers in a wide range of sports.

BetStars also operates a program called Stars Rewards, allowing punters to build a progress bar by placing wagers, which yields free bets and StarsCoin currency to use in the Rewards Store.
