NFL Joins Opposition to Federal Regulation of Prediction Markets, Calls for Supreme Court Intervention
The National Football League (NFL) has filed documents with the U.S. Supreme Court, joining states, former regulator Gary Gensler, and Chris Dodd, one of the authors of the Dodd-Frank Act, in opposing federal regulation of prediction markets. The NFL argues that sports betting within prediction markets poses challenges to game integrity and consumer protection, noting the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) failure to effectively regulate these platforms. The NFL, states, and former officials contend that sports betting should be governed by local gambling regulators, not exclusively by the CFTC. The CFTC, however, maintains its exclusive regulatory authority over exchanges like Kalshi and Polymarket, superseding state powers. Former Senator Chris Dodd emphasized that the Dodd-Frank Act was not intended to authorize nationwide sports betting through derivatives markets, nor to displace the traditional primacy of states and tribes in gambling regulation. Former CFTC Chairman Gensler also stated that Congress never transferred jurisdiction over sports betting from the states to the CFTC. The NFL believes that federally regulated companies have failed to meet the stringent regulatory standards provided by states and urged the Supreme Court to expedite the case to prevent consumer losses and risks to game integrity.
