Indian Gaming Association urges senators to clarify prediction-market rules
The Indian Gaming Association said it hosted a congressional briefing with the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs in Washington, DC, to discuss sports event contracts on federally regulated prediction markets. The association and its partners urged senators to clarify in pending cryptocurrency marketplace legislation that the Commodity Exchange Act does not authorise sports wagering through derivatives markets.
The proposed clarification could affect how prediction-market sports contracts interact with tribal and state gaming authority.
