NFL urges CFTC to tighten proposed rules for US sports prediction markets
The NFL urged the CFTC to strengthen its proposed rules for event contracts, saying they do not adequately protect sports integrity or fans. It called for bans on contracts it considers vulnerable to manipulation, a minimum trading age of 21, league-specific prohibited-bettor lists and other safeguards; the comment period closed on 27 July.
The requested restrictions could affect which sports event contracts operators may offer in the US.
