@Autonomous_Chad@Novig@ProphetX They haven’t actually banned acting that makes the Exchanges money, though…
If they took out combos, that’d be meaningful. Otherwise, it’s more like saving them from themselves.
@SteveRuddock@ChrisLynchNJ What if massive financial penalties result from the SC ruling?
I also wouldn't absolutely count on states being willing to keep doing business with DK rather than revoking their license.
@GaetenD I wonder how much it would cost to do it properly, though? And with Kalshi being an international exchange, there's scope for foreign interference.
@dan_bernstein_ These aren't new products outside of the US. I guess matchbook are hoping calling it a prediction market instead will somehow bring in new punters. Seems unlikely.
@AnechoicMedia_ People don’t think they’re getting out more than they put in. They think (correctly) they’re getting out more than they would using other payment mechanisms.

@ahtnamas@neontaster Ah, you’ve been out of the US for a long time. That explains it.
I’ve been in both for multiple years, and recently.
Post covid has really changed the US. That accessible sweet spot of quality to price you’re remembering has totally vanished.
@ahtnamas@neontaster I was curious what you thought these luxuries were. Your reply shows further equate it with consumerism.
You definitely have way more choice. It’s not really true you have better quality, and price depends on the category. America has changed.
@coolerbred No, most probably recognise it's a game where you profit off the backs of those who can't get credit, and those who lack control.
But it is a very winnable one, and you hurt yourself by not participating in it if you're eligible.
