The Nevada attorney general’s office has filed a “friend of the court” brief on behalf of the state of Maryland in its continuing battle against prediction markets that are taking sports bets the state says are in violation of Nevada gaming laws.
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford on Monday formally filed a 49-page amicus brief co-sponsored by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on behalf of 38 states and the District of Columbia.
“Nevada is the foundational home of sports wagering, and states, not federal financial regulators, have decades of experience protecting consumers, preserving the integrity of sporting events, and addressing real world harms such as underage gambling,” Ford said in a release.
