NFL urges CFTC to adopt further sports integrity safeguards
Regulation · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
The NFL has called on the CFTC to strengthen its regulation of prediction markets. In a letter to chairman Michael Selig dated 27 July, the league said the proposed rules contain some productive measures but need further integrity and consumer protection provisions. The NFL wants contracts that can be manipulated or known in advance restricted, and the legal age for sports event trades raised to 21.
Why it matters
The outcome will shape which sports event contracts prediction markets may offer and at what minimum age, affecting operators and suppliers in that segment.
