NBA warns CFTC that prediction market sports contracts threaten game integrity
The NBA warned the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission that expanding sports event contracts on prediction markets could threaten game integrity. In a letter, NBA vice president and assistant general counsel Alexandra Roth said offerings had shifted from season-long markets to single-game contracts and could extend to player props and other specific events.
The league's concerns may affect the regulatory treatment of sports event contracts offered by prediction market operators.
