Your zip code shouldn’t decide your financial rights.

The Offshore Problem
When a state blocks a federally regulated prediction market, demand doesn't disappear. It relocates.
Consumers move to offshore platforms operating entirely outside U.S. law. No identity verification. No anti-money-laundering controls. No CFTC oversight. No recourse when something goes wrong.
The consumer protections state regulators claim to be defending are the first thing to vanish.
What’s at Stake
CFTC-regulated markets require full KYC identity verification, continuous anti-manipulation surveillance, transparent pricing, segregated customer funds, and federal enforcement authority.
Offshore alternatives offer none of it.
State interference doesn't ban prediction markets. It bans the safe version.
