Fourteen months after the "Big Beautiful Bill" cut deductible losses to 90%, the Ways and Means Committee has attached the fix to a crypto tax bill and sent it to the floor. It still needs the House, the Senate and the President before 1 January, and the House is about to leave town.
Judge Lorna Schofield heard the commission argue that the Commodity Exchange Act pre-empts New York's $3.4 billion gambling case against Coinbase and Gemini, and pressed its lawyers on why she should enjoin the state when other federal courts have declined to. She did not rule from the bench.
A state that bans sports betting and casinos spent Tuesday studying "the sudden inundation of prediction market gambling". The casino lobby told senators to sue in state court; Kalshi told them a ban would send Texans offshore. The session that could act on it opens on 12 January.
Polymarket, Coinbase, Robinhood and six others have been told to cease and let residents withdraw their money, while PayPal, Sportradar, Genius Sports, ESPN, Apple and Google have been subpoenaed for what they know.
The bank can see what its own customers pay into betting apps and what comes back out, and across seven months the ratio never reached break-even. The number that should worry the industry more is the one about balances: households that bet online hold 59% of the deposit balance of households that do not.
Told by regulators in Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania that it could not offer both, Underdog has chosen its CFTC-registered event contracts over the draft games that built the company. Drafts close in those states on Wednesday evening, after the NFL season kicks off.
The American Gaming Association expects Americans to bet $29.5 billion legally on the 2026 NFL season, up barely at all on last year's $29.4 billion. Its chief executive says the reason is "backdoor sports betting" on prediction markets, and the numbers it cites for Novig, Rothera and Underdog explain why.
The American Gaming Association's strategic adviser told CNBC that Michael Selig misled the President about how the state cases are going, and that prediction market chiefs were uninvited from last week's White House event. The second claim is the one worth checking.
A report commissioned by the Campaign for Fairer Gambling estimates that unlicensed online gambling operators generated $97.4 billion in US revenue in 2025, growing at nearly twice the pace of the regulated sector and raising pointed questions about whether legalisation is containing or expanding overall market harm.
The American Gaming Association's full-year Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker confirms the U.S. regulated market has posted its strongest result on record, with iGaming's $10.74 billion haul and a $18.09 billion tax contribution redefining the scale of state-licensed gambling. The AGA used the announcement to sharpen its attack on prediction markets, estimating they have already diverted more than $500 million in potential sports betting tax revenue.
Nevada's gaming regulator wants KalshiEX held in contempt, and hit with penalties of up to $120,000 a day, for letting people inside the state trade event contracts a court told it to block. The twist: federal judges have just ruled the opposite way, leaving the same product protected in one forum and prosecuted in another.
As Iowa legislators gather for the 2026 session, a landmark bill promises to end the impunity of unlicensed gambling platforms. By granting the state commission the power to issue cease and desist orders, Iowa aims to protect its citizens from fraudulent sites and recover billions in lost revenue currently flowing to offshore markets.
