U.S. Policy Update: New York lawmakers are pushing forward with fresh legislation on prediction markets. The proposed bill targets restrictions on contracts tied to sports and political events, while keeping the door open for league outcome wagers. This regulatory approach signals evolving attitudes toward how prediction markets should operate within U.S. jurisdiction.

Hmm... Still playing the same game in the secondary market. New York wants to regulate prediction markets, but sports events are still open? Isn't this just wanting a "controlled chaos"?

Looking at New York's recent move, it seems like they want to open up the prediction markets partially... Sports betting is allowed, but political events are firmly restricted. What's the logic behind this?

Coming up with new regulations again? Has the US loosened its stance on prediction markets? You can bet on sports events but not political events... This logic is quite interesting.

Your regulation is really all over the place. You can hold sports events but not politics—what's the logic behind that?

This operation in New York is interesting. The political authorities don't allow gambling, but league results are okay. What kind of middle ground are they trying to establish?

Is the prediction market about to be regulated again? These folks in New York really know how to play, with sports and political betting cut off completely, yet they still leave a gap for league odds... The way this rule is written, it's truly an art.

Huh, New York is stirring again... Even though sports political betting is banned, they still want to keep a loophole?

New York is messing around with prediction markets again. Sports and political event betting are banned, but can you still bet on league results? Why is the regulatory approach so inconsistent?

Political prediction markets are starting to stir again... Over here in the US, it's the same old story, restricting this and banning that, but sports events are let go? Is it really just different treatment?
