NFL Bans Prediction Market Ads at Super Bowl LX—What Are They Hiding?

NFL Bans Prediction Market Ads at Super Bowl LX—What Are They Hiding?

Prediction markets are a godsend in my homeland of California because it somehow found a loophole around the state’s Draconian anti-sports betting laws. Kalshi, DraftKings Predictions, and Polymarket are patriots for bringing sports predictions (again NOT betting, completely different) to California, as far as I’m concerned.

Out of fairness, there is one argument for defending the NFL’s decision to blacklist prediction markets: integrity and oversight. They don’t have the established monitoring structures like sportsbooks, which can make it easier for an athlete to get involved in match-fixing or point-shaving schemes. As much as I love prediction markets … yeah, not great.
