Jill Dorson, InGame managing editor, broke one of the biggest stories of the year in the gaming industry last week after she received an anonymous tip that FanDuel and DraftKings were no longer in sync with the American Gaming Association.
“Both companies previously announced their intent to begin offering sports event contracts via prediction markets, which are regulated by the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than by state regulators,” Dorson wrote 17 November in an article republished in CDC Gaming.
Sometime after the general PPC (Public Policy Committee) meeting Monday, and before an evening cocktail hour, the AGA’s executive committee met, and the end result was a clear split between the AGA, DraftKings, and FanDuel about prediction markets.”
