Fanatics responsible gambling lead criticises Kalshi and Polymarket oversight
Regulation · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
Anthony D'Angelo, head of responsible gaming at Fanatics Betting and Gaming, criticised Kalshi and Polymarket for what he described as weaker responsible gambling oversight than licensed sportsbooks. Speaking at a National Conference of State Legislatures panel in Chicago, he likened directing players in states without sports betting to prediction markets to pushing them to unlicensed offshore bookmakers. D'Angelo said Fanatics does not offer its prediction market products where sports betting is illegal.
Why it matters
The comments sharpen the divide between licensed sportsbooks and prediction market platforms over responsible gambling standards in the US.
