AGA Claims $1B Tax Loss from Prediction Markets

The American Gaming Association (AGA) released an email with an attention-grabbing subject line claiming "ALERT: $1 billion in lost gaming tax revenue" due to prediction markets. According to AGA President & CEO Bill Miller, 41 attorneys general from around the country have weighed in saying the CFTC is not the regulator of national sportsbooks.

"States and tribes are losing literally $1 billion in state and tribal revenue that would otherwise go to fund important community projects and pay taxes," Miller stated. This claim comes as part of the ongoing dispute between sportsbooks and prediction markets, with the AGA representing the interests of state-regulated sports betting operators. cricket-ipl.co.za
