## Resource

Americans are secretly pouring billions into offshore prediction markets, with up to $34 billion traded in a single year—mostly through platforms like Polymarket, despite U.S. bans. A Rutgers study reveals 12.5% to 31.5% of all U.S. prediction market activity is happening on unregulated sites, projected to hit $133 billion by 2030. Regulators are scrambling as the CFTC proposes banning bets on war and assassination, while the Coalition for Prediction Markets warns of rampant fraud, money laundering, and dangerous bets on death and conflict—all happening outside the safety net of U.S. oversight.
