Tribal leaders are raising concerns about exclusivity, regulatory authority and the long term consequences of allowing wagering to move outside established state and tribal frameworks. This discussion centers on what Chairman Bean is hearing directly from tribes about the growth of prediction markets and the risks they present to existing gaming structures.
