The Real Deal on Prediction Markets

Prediction markets turn future events into tradable contracts, creating real-time, probability-driven prices on everything from politics to sports. As they blur the line between investing and betting, they’re starting to reshape gambling models and raise new questions for banks, payments providers, operators, suppliers and regulators. They look and behave like betting - but it’s not that simple.

An expert panel demystified the current regulatory and legal environment for prediction markets in the US and beyond. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how prediction markets are being regulated both now and in the future, where the opportunities and challenges lie, and uncover a way forward for businesses in the gambling and financial sectors, where prediction markets intersect.
