Gadiem, tradicionālās sporta derības ir iestrēgušas regulējošā labirintā Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs. Kamēr dažas valstis pieņēma tiešsaistes derības, citas tās pilnībā aizliedza, radot fragmentētu ainavu, kas ierobežoja lielo platformu izaugsmi. Tajā pašā laikā prognožu tirgi—hibrīda kategorija, kas aptver finanses, atvasinātos instrumentus un derības—klusi sāka iegūt popularitāti federālo regulatoru pieskatītajā vidē.

📅 December 19 | United States
For years, traditional sports betting has been caught in a regulatory maze within the United States. While some states embraced online betting, others banned it altogether, creating a fragmented landscape that limited the growth of major platforms. Meanwhile, prediction markets—a hybrid category encompassing finance, derivatives, and betting—quietly began gaining traction under the watchful eye of federal regulators.
📖DraftKings announced the launch of DraftKings Predictions, a standalone app that will allow users to trade event contracts linked to real-world outcomes, under the direct supervision of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The new app is completely separate from DraftKings' traditional sportsbook and will be available in major app stores in the coming days. At launch, it will offer contracts related to sports events and financial markets, expanding the company's reach beyond conventional betting.
The move comes after months of signals from DraftKings' management, which has identified regulated prediction markets as a way to attract users in states where online sports betting remains illegal. According to the company, the contracts will be available in 38 states, including key markets such as California and Texas, two of the largest jurisdictions where online betting is not allowed.
During an earnings call in November, CEO Jason Robins explained that prediction markets can expand DraftKings' total addressable market without cannibalizing its core sportsbook business. In other words, they are not looking to replace the sportsbook, but rather complement it.
In its initial phase, DraftKings reported that operations will be channeled through CME Group, with plans to expand liquidity and market variety over time. Furthermore, the company has previously indicated that Polymarket will act as a designated clearinghouse, following the acquisition of Railbird Technologies, a CFTC-regulated exchange operator.
Topic Opinion:
DraftKings is playing a smart game: using the CFTC's regulatory umbrella to enter states closed to traditional sportsbooks, without facing the same legal barriers.
💬 Will prediction markets eventually overtake traditional sportsbooks?
