Adam Schiff has warned against sports prediction markets and gaming products, but gaming and gambling interests have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns and allied political committees.
Sports prediction markets are sports bets. By effectively requiring prediction markets to offer contracts in all 50 states, even on Tribal lands, the CFTC is once again violating state law and Tribal sovereignty.

This is the CFTC’s most egregious attempt yet to undermine state law, the Tribes, and now, the courts. The CFTC chairman has been captured by the industry and his actions reflect only their interests.
