The iGaming Daily podcast discusses the emerging conflict between sportsbooks and regulators in the United States, specifically regarding prediction markets. The discussion begins with FanDuel's entry into prediction markets through a partnership with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and the subsequent warning from the Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) to its licensees. The speakers explore the implications of this move, the potential for sports betting to expand nationwide through this avenue, and the regulatory challenges and responses from states like Ohio and Nevada. They also touch on other operators registering with the National Futures Association (NFA), indicating a widespread interest in prediction markets, while considering the long-term implications and potential timelines for regulatory decisions.
