Prediction Markets Heatmap

Hawaii HB 2198 HD2 proposes to expand the state's gambling definition to cover prediction event contracts on topics like politics, sports, legislation, and catastrophe. It is still treated here as a bill in motion, not an enforceable state rule.

• Hawaii has a bill in motion - HB 2198 HD2 - that would make certain prediction market contracts a form of gambling under state law.
• The bill has not taken effect. Its draft effective-date language is a legislative placeholder, so Rooted Reality is not treating it as an operative date.
• For families in Hawaii today, no state-level prediction market rule is currently in force; federal rules and platform policies remain the relevant framework.

• Open HB 2198 HD2 on the Hawaii Capitol site to check whether it has passed both chambers and received the Governor's signature, or whether it remains in the legislative process.
