Minnesota senators propose felony bans on prediction markets and sweepstakes casinos
Minnesota senators Jordan Rasmusson, John Marty, Erin Maye Quade and Matt Klein backed two bills targeting prediction markets and online sweepstakes casinos. The proposals would make operating or promoting the platforms a felony; Senate File 4511 would also bar convicted entities from state gaming licences for 10 years. If passed, the proposed restrictions would take effect on 1 August 2026.
Operators and suppliers could face felony liability and a 10-year bar from state gaming licences if the proposals become law.
