Bipartisan bills targeting sports contracts on CFTC-regulated platforms, including the Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act and STOP Corrupt Bets Act introduced in March 2026, have advanced no further in committee or toward floor votes. The Trump administration and CFTC have instead advanced proposals for case-by-case contract review and a dedicated regulatory framework that would preserve most sports-related event contracts rather than impose a categorical prohibition. Gaming industry groups continue pressing for restrictions via the CLARITY Act, yet that measure remains in the Senate without enacted language banning such markets. Minnesota’s state-level ban and related litigation highlight ongoing federal-state tensions, but these have not translated into nationwide legislation. With limited remaining session time and competing priorities, trader consensus assigns high probability to no federal enactment before year-end.
