Sports Betting & Lottery Rule Watch

Track gambling rules for US consumers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state sports betting and online casino legalization, restriction or tax changes with effective dates; sportsbook promo term, bet limit, account restriction and withdrawal policy changes at DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics and ESPN Bet; CFTC and court rulings on prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket; Powerball, Mega Millions and state lottery jackpot thresholds over $500 million and game rule changes; IRS reporting and withholding threshold changes for winnings; and state self-exclusion and problem gambling tool changes. Prefer gaming commission, legislative, operator terms and IRS sources; ignore betting tips. Put the state or operator first in the title. Use high severity for a legalization or ban taking effect within 30 days, a promo term change affecting active bonuses, or a tax change on winnings. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, the effective date, and the source link. Include a line noting where to find help for problem gambling when relevant. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
