Texas Senate committee hears arguments on prediction-market sports contracts
The Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs heard testimony on 16 September about restricting prediction-market platforms offering sports event contracts in Texas. American Gaming Association vice-president Tres York urged the state to sue operators, while Kalshi’s Robert DeNault argued for advertising limits, risk disclosures and protections for younger customers instead of a ban.
The hearing may shape how Texas applies its sports-betting prohibition to prediction-market sports contracts.
