Fanel and DraftKings are gonna try to operate prediction markets in places where sports betting is not legal. The AGA clearly thinks that sports prediction markets are very much like sports betting. So this all came to a head. Tell us more. Yeah, for for those of you that don't know, the AGA, the American Gaming Association, is the main trade and lobbying group for the sports betting industry, the, uh, casino industry, online gaming industry in general, and DraftKings and Fanel have been its biggest partners, both making up 71% of combined sports betting revenue share. Uh, they've been part of the AJ for several years and really instrumental in getting states to legalize sports betting and. Uh, to your point, Craig, now we have a clear departure where both companies, the biggest members are now leaving the AGA over what they call is a split over their stance on prediction markets. Uh, DraftKings and FanDuel both plan to launch their own sports prediction markets, uh, within the, within the next month or two, and that is a clear departure from the AJA stance. The AGA has maintained that sports prediction markets are basically sports betting, and they should be regulated as such on the state level where you have state tax. Taxes, uh, you know, state guidelines, fees, uh, different guardrails and guidelines that so far prediction markets have not followed companies like Calci and Polymarket. They've been sued across multiple states, but so far they've been allowed to pretty much operate the sports betting products wherever they want to, um, and as time has kind of evolved on this issue of prediction markets, which we've obviously talked about a ton over the past year, the stances of DraftKings and FanDu have really changed a lot as well. Initially it was going to be. You know, we're going to wait this out, see what happens, see some legal clarity, and now it kind of looks like both companies are really, uh, with this move, making the kind of committing to the, the idea that we're not gonna get legal clarity for a while. A lot of people think we're now going to get legal clarity eventually once the Supreme Court rules on this, which if you know anything about the American justice system that can take a very long time, but it, it, it, the real reasoning here is both companies have taken massive stock. It's uh FanDuel down about $11 billion in market cap and DraftKings about $3 billion as well since the start of the year when these prediction markets really started to take off. So I think that's why you're seeing them now commit to launching their own, um, as far as what that will do to their stock, how that will impact their relationship with the rest of the sports betting industry and other partners and state regulators, that remains to be seen. We've last week talked. About Nevada, um, saying that we're not going to allow DraftKings and Fandle to be in the state, uh, once they do these prediction markets, other states have made those threats, so we'll have to see what happens there, but it's definitely a huge kind of departure, um, from what we talked about in legal sports betting over the past couple of years. DraftKings and FanDu were, you know, the biggest names, so of course they would be in the AGA, but we've got a much fractured kind of environment going into 2026 now.
