American Gaming Association president says prediction markets are siphoning money from New Jersey communities

Published Jul 30, 2026Updated 1h ago

American Gaming Association President Bill Miller argued in a column that prediction markets are siphoning money from New Jersey communities. Miller contended that New Jersey fought for the right to regulate sports betting and that decision should be respected. The piece frames prediction markets as undermining state-regulated sports betting frameworks.

Why this matters?

Miller's framing signals that the casino and sportsbook lobby is treating prediction markets as a direct competitive threat to state-licensed gambling revenue, which could fuel state-level legislative or regulatory pushback against event-contract platforms.
