Traders assign a 90.5% implied probability that sports prediction markets will not face gambling taxation, reflecting the prevailing CFTC-regulated futures framework and absence of IRS guidance recharacterizing event contracts. Recent circuit splits, including the Ninth Circuit’s August 2026 ruling subjecting Kalshi sports contracts to state gambling laws and the earlier Third Circuit decision treating them as CEA swaps, have heightened uncertainty without shifting consensus toward reclassification. Proposed Treasury rules on the 2026 90% wagering-loss cap and pending CFTC event-contract rulemaking focus on public-interest limits rather than broad gambling treatment, while platforms continue operating under capital-gains or Section 1256 reporting in practice. State challenges in multiple circuits and the lack of formal IRS rulings on sports-event contracts reinforce trader expectations that favorable futures treatment will hold absent major legislative or Supreme Court intervention.

For purposes of this market, sports event contracts are contracts whose payoff is determined by the outcome, score, or statistical result of an athletic competition listed on a CFTC-designated contract market or swap execution facility.
Qualifying guidance must be published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin or the Federal Register as a Revenue Ruling, Revenue Procedure, IRS Notice, IRS Announcement, final or temporary Treasury Regulation, or proposed Treasury Regulation that remains published without withdrawal for at least 30 calendar days after its Federal Register publication date. Guidance qualifies if it expressly applies Section 165(d) to such contracts or classifies them as wagering transactions for federal income tax purposes. Guidance classifying sports event contracts as wagering solely for purposes of Section 4401, Section 6041, Section 3402(q), or other Code sections that do not bear on the deductibility of losses does not qualify. Non-qualifying actions include Private Letter Rulings, Chief Counsel Advice, Tax Court decisions, IRS official statements, Congressional testimony, and web-based publications not appearing in the Internal Revenue Bulletin or Federal Register. A final and non-appealable decision of the U.S. Supreme Court holding that CFTC-regulated sports event contracts are subject to Section 165(d) also qualifies for resolution.
This market will resolve to "No" if qualifying guidance is withdrawn, modified into non-qualifying form, or superseded by non-qualifying guidance before April 15, 2027; if federal legislation repeals Section 165(d) or exempts CFTC-regulated sports event contracts from its application; if federal legislation establishes a tax treatment for sports event contracts incompatible with Section 165(d) prior to qualifying guidance being issued; or if the CFTC prohibits the listing of sports event contracts on all CFTC-designated contract markets before any qualifying guidance is issued.
The resolution source for this market is the Internal Revenue Bulletin (irs.gov/irb) and the Federal Register (federalregister.gov).
