Episode notes
Prediction Markets Mask Gambling
- Prediction markets are being framed as commodities exchanges to bypass state sports-betting bans.
- This disguise lets gambling spread under regulatory and linguistic cover.
Gambling Will Target Any Event
- Prediction markets expand gambling beyond sports into almost any event people will bet on.
- Regulators and states face confusion over whether to treat them as exchanges or as bookmaking.
Watch Age Loopholes Closely
- Check age limits and platform types because prediction markets allow 18+ participation.
- Monitor teens’ online activity since under-21 loopholes increase youth exposure.
