The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel indeed had plans of running its own online poker room, hoping perhaps to bypass the slow-moving quagmire of the California Legislature. It opened a free-to-play poker site called PrivateTable.com in 2014, with intentions of eventually enabling playing for actual cash, and it also launched a real money internet bingo hall called Desert Rose Bingo that same year.
In 2016, the tribe lost a court case challenging the legality of these enterprises, but it appealed. The case was heard in March 2018, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its verdict. The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel lost and is thus now prevented from offering real money gambling over the internet.
