Overview

Prediction Markets Are Exploding - Make Sure Your Legal Advice Keeps Pace

Prediction markets have gone from a niche curiosity to a multibillion-dollar industry practically overnight, and the legal ground underneath them is still shifting. Attorneys advising clients in this space face a genuinely unsettled question: is an event contract a federally regulated derivative, or a state-regulated bet? The answer determines everything from licensing exposure to contract enforceability, and right now, federal courts, state gaming regulators, and Congress are all pulling in different directions. This fast-paced program cuts through the noise, giving you a working command of the current regulatory landscape, the contract issues your clients need flagged, and where enforcement risk is heading next. Register today!

  • Get a clear read on the federal-state jurisdictional standoff shaping this industry.
  • Understand how courts are currently drawing the line between "derivative" and "wager."
  • Spot the contract terms and enforceability issues most likely to create client exposure.
  • Anticipate where enforcement priorities are headed under the CFTC's pending rulemaking.

Abbreviated Agenda

  1. The Federal Framework: CFTC Jurisdiction and the Kalshi Precedent
  2. The State Pushback: Gaming Law and the Preemption Fight
  3. Contract Issues and Client Risk
  4. Enforcement Trends and Practical Compliance Guidance
