Briefings

The CFTC finalized a new swap definition effective October 2026, explicitly excluding casino wagers from swap reporting. This decision creates a legal split: while the federal definition excludes these transactions, state laws vary, leading to potential enforcement conflicts. The article notes a court split regarding state gambling laws, with some states enforcing strict prohibitions while others allow limited wagering. The CFTC's action does not automatically invalidate state laws but may create regulatory gaps where state enforcement differs from federal reporting requirements.

Key points
