The U. S. government is likely to intervene against quasi-gambling products in 2025, according to analysts at Regulus Partners.

The analysts argued the rise of grey gambling products like DFS 2.0, sweepstakes casinos and most recently sports CFDs reached a tipping in the beginning of the year, leading to a possible Trump Administration intervention.

While gaming has traditionally been regulated by states and tribal entities, Regulus said a newfound inability to clearly define gambling is putting “considerable strain” on this model.

Regulus said: “We believe that 2025 has started with a critical mass of US legal workarounds for quasi online gambling products reaching a tipping point that is overwhelming the state-by-state solution.
