Doesn’t this violate commerce between states, effectively?
- tardedmeme 5mo agoIt does, but the constitution's already been shredded and it's dog-eat-dog in the political space right now, so we'll see how it goes.
- thrance 5mo agoSCOTUS will probably soon rule that extracting wealth from alienated gamblers is a fundamental American right, that the founding fathers had in mind when drafting the constitution.
- unethical_ban 5mo agoNo. They're not banning prediction markets from out-of-state, they're banning it entirely. A state cannot ban out-of-state alcohol, but it can ban alcohol outright if it wanted to.
- msandford 5mo agoYeah but there's a difference there. I can buy alcohol out of state and if I bring it back in, that's on me. Does anyone think that Minnesotans who are out of MN at the time of their bet will be allowed to bet? I don't think they'll be allowed, but they should be.
- unethical_ban 5mo agoI assume most people need to put on an address or credit card info linking them to their home state. They likely wouldn't be allowed to have an account.
