Tribal Gaming Leaders Press Congress to Shield Casinos From Prediction-Market Threat

Indian Gaming Association · 20h ago

The Indian Gaming Association held its summer legislative summit in Washington this week, lobbying senators and staffers to amend the pending CLARITY Act so it doesn't weaken tribal gaming protections under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Tribal leaders argued that fast-growing, lightly regulated prediction markets threaten both state gaming compacts and tribal sovereignty over gambling revenue. The push comes as platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket keep pulling betting volume away from traditional sportsbooks and casinos.
