Bipartisan senators introduced legislation to ban sports betting on prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket
Senators Adam Schiff (D-CA) and John Curtis (R-UT) introduced bipartisan legislation on Monday that would prohibit prediction markets registered with the CFTC from offering contracts tied to sports events and casino-style games. The bill comes after Arizona's attorney general filed criminal charges against Kalshi for allegedly operating an illegal gambling operation under state law.
