DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have aligned in their criticism of the company for not doing enough to regulate who can trade on its event markets. The pair argue that it ignores a long list of insiders with material nonpublic information, including athletes, team personnel, and referees. Kalshi's policy update includes preemptively banning political candidates from betting on their own races and new pre-trade screens to address congressional concerns about insider trading. The disagreement highlights the politically sensitive nature of the business model.
