AGA appoints Chris Christie adviser on sports event contracts
The American Gaming Association has brought former New Jersey governor Chris Christie on as a strategic adviser on sports event contracts. Christie criticised prediction markets offering sports contracts, arguing they operate outside state-regulated betting; the AGA has opposed those platforms, while FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics have left the group amid disagreements over the sector.
The appointment adds a former governor’s voice to the AGA’s campaign over how sports event contracts should be regulated.
