Coalition for Prediction Markets

The @CFTC has overseen complex derivatives markets for decades. A single national framework is far stronger than a fragmented, state-by-state patchwork that’s ripe for abuse. More from @SeanPMaloney at @MilkenInstitute:

Tens of millions of Americans use prediction markets. So let’s keep ‘em safe and regulated.

We are looking forward to working with both parties on legislation to keep prediction markets safe and fair.

All this screenshot shows is that Kalshi payouts are better for the consumer. Thanks for the free marketing though. marketsovermonopolies.com

.@RepJeffries on prediction market regulation: “I do think it’s reasonable for us to take a look at what can be done in this space, and to try to find a bipartisan path forward, working with all of the stakeholders in this area.”

@ChairmanSelig @CFTC @MLB Great to see @CFTC and @MLB working together to ensure market integrity.

Today the @CFTC and @MLB made history by signing the first-ever MOU between a sports league and federal agency. We’ve committed to work together to protect the integrity and resilience of prediction markets relating to professional baseball. Through this partnership, the @CFTC is well-positioned to add additional tools to protect our markets from fraud, manipulation, and other abuses. Thanks to @MLB and Commissioner Manfred for working with us to protect the integrity of these growing markets. Read the full MOU⬇️ cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres…

More than a third of U.S. voters have used prediction markets. @EchelonInsights:

Casinos don't have windows for a reason. This is a straightforward debate: Monopoly vs. Competition. Our member companies believe consumers should be able to decide for themselves if they want to trade on legally regulated markets.

"Brokers to hedge funds and other institutional investors are moving to give clients access" to prediction markets. Read the full story here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Prediction markets are an extremely valuable financial tool. Main Street knows, and so does Wall Street. @Business:

Casinos are lying to the American people about prediction markets. Here are the facts: Gaming models set the odds and bet against customers. Exchange models let people trade in an open, transparent market against each other. Rigged Monopoly vs. Consumer Choice

Two years ago I approached several State Regulators offering to provide our educational content to state Sportsbook operators and customers for free. The message was strongly rejected for two reasons: 1. A more educated customer means less profits for operators - which is what really matters. (They actually said this.) 2. Regulators do not want bettors to “think they can win” because it will cause an increase in problem gambling. The proposal was intended for responsible gaming. It would teach customers basic concepts- like hold percentage, how to read odds, how to calculate hold for parlays. The material would prevent problem gambling by allowing bettors to know they are getting ripped off by SGPs and similar products at sportsbooks. That’s why regulators don’t want bettors education. As a last ditch backdoor effort, I mentioned how educating bettors doesn’t necessarily mean less profits for operators. When card counting became popular, blackjack became the most popular game in the casino and casino profits increased. How? Not because the players learned how to count cards but because they thought they had learned how to count cards. The difference between theory and practice. This gave one regulator a “brilliant” idea. She suggested: Sports betting is 90%+ male dominated so we’re missing half the market. If we can market the education to women so they start to think they could win at betting, then we’ll double the market size and generate more profits and tax revenue. At that point I realized how corrupted and compromised (knowingly or unknowingly) many of the regulators are. Glad to work with @bettorsvoice to improve the industry for all bettors.

As one trader put it: "The [traders] make a lot of money from being right." "One guy is incentivized to get clicks. The other guy is incentivized to make money."

If you ask the casino industry, prediction markets are worthless. If you ask the people who actually use prediction markets, they will tell you the truth: prediction markets are an antidote to misinformation and a critical tool for the 21st century media environment. vanityfair.com/news/story/pre…

What’s the difference between trading on prediction markets and gambling at casinos? Everything. Ambassador @SeanPMaloney:

ICYMI: @SeanPMaloney sat down with @SquawkCNBC to discuss prediction markets >> Offshore, Unregulated vs. U.S. Based, U.S. Regulated Full interview below 👇

The CFTC is the right cop on the beat. We want prediction markets operating here in America – regulated and with strong federal oversight and consumer protections. 🇺🇸 @SeanPMaloney on @SquawkCNBC:

CPM President & CEO @SeanPMaloney hit the nail on the head this morning with CNBC: "You were quoting Kalshi data on this program a few minutes ago." @JoeSquawk: "Yes." From CNBC to the top Democratic leaders to the Republican president, people recognize the utility of prediction markets.

TUNE IN to @SeanPMaloney talking prediction markets on @SquawkCNBC right now.
