When 44 states unite against federal overreach, operators face regulatory uncertainty that could reshape compliance and market access overnight.
We've been through every regulatory pivot in every regulated market. This coalition is not symbolic — it's states defending their turf after PASPA repeal gave them control. If the CFTC pushes event contracts that look like sports betting, states will fight for revenue and jurisdiction. Our partners need to prepare for fracture, not clarity.
