Tribal Partnerships Seminar

As prediction-market platforms expand into sports, politics, and more, states and tribal nations are mounting a fierce legal defense. This session analyzes how the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, state sovereignty, and federal preemption collide in lawsuits against operators like Kalshi. It tracks emerging court decisions, enforcement strategies, and the unresolved tensions over who really controls “betting on the future.”
