Marla Denton
Gambling regulation reporter, Sacramento. She came to the subject from statehouse and administrative reporting: the 2022 ballot fight over Propositions 26 and 27, tribal gaming compacts, and enforcement actions against unlicensed operators. She covers how the rules are written and what changes for players when the law and its enforcement do not line up.
The question she closes every review with is the same one: if something goes wrong, who do you turn to. She does not publish a figure she cannot source, and she always separates what is barred to the operator from what is barred to the player, because confusing the two is the most common error on this topic.
She maintains the ranking of California online casinos and its rating method.
