CFTC Chair Michael Selig says it’s up to prediction markets to decide which contracts cross the line. That’d be like if the New York Gaming Commission let FanDuel decide which bets it’s allowed to offer.

This seems relevant again after reading @SteveRuddock newsletter this morning. @MassGamingComm
A nice capstone to @NCLGS from MGC Chair Jordan Maynard: "I hear someone on a panel the other day say 'if someone loses their shirt, who cares?' We fucking care." Room broke out into applause.

@MassAGO filed a lawsuit today against Kalshi for promoting and accepting online sports wagers from Mass customers without following the Commonwealth's laws and regulations. The MGC appreciates the AGO's efforts to enforce the law and hold companies accountable.

Illegal offshore gambling platforms are harming vulnerable communities, especially young people, with no oversight or accountability. I’m leading a bipartisan coalition of state AGs urging @AGPamBondi to help us protect our residents and economies from these unlawful operations.
