• Tribal gaming leaders denounce prediction markets ahead of House Committee hearing on Kalshi (ictnews.org) — Mashantucket residents may be interested that their own Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Foxwoods are cited in a broader national fight over online prediction markets and tribal gaming sovereignty. Tribal leaders nationwide are urging Congress to treat platforms like Kalshi as gambling, not investing, amid a key House hearing and concerns about federal regulators and vacant oversight positions.
