Prediction Markets Heatmap

California's legislature site blocked our automated reader and the secondary source timed out, so no verifiable text for AB 2617 could be confirmed on this run.

• California has a bill on record — AB 2617, the Protecting Kids from Online Gambling Act — that would restrict prediction market and online gambling platforms from making services or ads available to minors. Whether that bill has passed, been signed, or taken effect cannot be confirmed from the sources reviewed on this cycle. Treat 'under review' here as a candid gap in what could be verified, not a finding about California's actual posture on prediction markets. Federal law and platform-level policies remain the operative layer for California families until a state rule is confirmed as in effect.

• Open the AB 2617 link directly in your browser at leginfo.legislature.ca.gov — it loads cleanly there and will show the bill's current status, any enrolled text, and whether the Governor has acted. The California Attorney General's site also publishes consumer-protection and enforcement guidance that may reflect whether any related rule is currently in force.
