Americans head to the polls every four years to elect their president. American election bettors, however, can now go daily to a growing number of apps and websites to wager on the next president and so much more, as the avenues for political punting keep expanding.
The latest sign of the increasing interest in betting on U.S. election odds, and the desire by various operators to meet that growing demand, was this week’s announcement by PredictIt of “significant updates” to its platform.
Those updates were made possible by the settlement of a longstanding beef between PredictIt, one of the oldest prediction markets in the U.S., and its regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
