US CFTC Proposes Rules to Regulate Sports and Event Betting on Prediction Markets
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has proposed new rules to regulate prediction markets, broadly permitting sports event contracts such as final scores and season performance while banning bets on player injuries, officiating decisions, and pre-collegiate sports. The rules also prohibit wagers on terrorism, assassination, and war due to public interest concerns. The CFTC will accept public comments for 90 days before finalizing the regulations, aiming to prevent manipulation and protect market integrity.
