Curtis-Schiff Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act

Type: Federal legislation
Status: Senate bill (as of March 2026)
Sponsors: Sen. Curtis (R-Utah), Sen. Schiff (D-California)
Domain: Prediction market regulation

Overview

Bipartisan Senate legislation introduced March 23, 2026 to explicitly prohibit CFTC-registered platforms from listing sports and casino-style prediction market products. Would codify state gaming commissions' position into federal law by defining sports event contracts as gambling products requiring state gaming licenses rather than CFTC registration.

Key Provisions

  • Scope: Applies to CFTC-registered Designated Contract Markets (DCMs)
  • Definition: Classifies sports event contracts as gambling products, not derivatives/swaps
  • Licensing: Would require state gaming licenses instead of CFTC registration
  • Exclusions: Does NOT explicitly address on-chain prediction markets or blockchain-based futarchy governance markets

Political Context

  • Bipartisan support: Republican Curtis (Utah) + Democrat Schiff (California) breaks partisan framing of prediction market debates
  • Utah angle: Curtis represents non-gaming state, suggesting opposition extends beyond state revenue protection
  • Timing: Filed three weeks after Arizona criminal charges (March 17, 2026), during peak state-federal jurisdictional conflict
  • Industry context: American Gaming Association had just released $600M state tax revenue loss data

Legislative Status

  • Senate bill as of late March 2026
  • No House companion bill identified
  • Would need to pass both chambers and overcome potential presidential opposition (Trump administration has been pro-prediction market)

Timeline

  • 2026-03-23 — Bill introduced in Senate by Curtis and Schiff

Connections

  • Targets platforms: kalshi, polymarket
  • Related litigation: Arizona criminal charges (March 17, 2026)
  • Industry opposition: American Gaming Association
  • Regulatory context: cftc exclusive jurisdiction claims
