Idaho joins 39-state coalition challenging CFTC sports betting authority
Idaho joined a 39-state coalition supporting Nevada in litigation before the Ninth Circuit over the CFTC’s authority concerning sports event contracts. The states argue that the agency’s position could prevent states from enforcing their gambling laws; Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador said the coalition is defending state regulatory authority.
The court’s ruling could affect states’ ability to enforce gambling laws against sports event contracts.
