The federal authorization they claim either doesn't exist (gaming is prohibited on DCMs) or requires explicit CFTC permission (which hasn't been granted specifically for sports event contracts).

Judge Nelson focused on Rule 40.11's prohibition of gaming contracts on DCMs unless CFTC grants exceptions. Legal observers at the argument consensus: panel appears likely to rule for Nevada. Combined with Third Circuit's April 6 ruling for Kalshi, this creates the predicted circuit split. Fortune (April 20) describes the case as 'hurtling toward the Supreme Court.'
