The National Football League (NFL) is urging the commodities regulator to require prediction market providers to prohibit contracts on events that can be easily manipulated by an individual, such as first pass and field goal completion.
The NFL has reached out to the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig to push for these modifications.
The league is concerned about the potential risks associated with such bets and aims to enhance the integrity of prediction markets within the sports betting landscape.
