DraftKings expands prediction-market push in California
DraftKings is promoting its DraftKings Predictions platform in California and pursuing expansion in Georgia, Texas and Florida, according to the report. The article says prediction-market operators argue their products fall under Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulation rather than state gambling laws, a position disputed by some state regulators. It also reports that the debate has divided the gambling industry.
