CFTC Extends Public Comment Period for Proposed Amendments to Event

Contracts Rules (2024/6/27)

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced it is extending

the deadline for public comment on a proposal to amend its event contract rules. The

extended comment period will close on August 8, 2024. The CFTC is providing an

extension to allow interested persons additional time to analyze the proposal and

prepare their comments.

The proposal would amend CFTC Regulation 40.11 to further specify types of

event contracts that fall within the scope of Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) Section

5c(c)(5)(C) and are contrary to the public interest, such that they may not be listed for

trading or accepted for clearing on or through a CFTC-registered entity.

Among other things, the proposal would define the term “gaming” for purposes

of CEA Section 5c(c)(5)(C) and CFTC Regulation 40.11, and would provide

illustrative examples of “gaming,” such as staking or risking something of value on

the outcome of a political contest, an awards contest, or a game in which one or more

athletes compete, or on an occurrence or non-occurrence in connection with such a

contest or game. The proposal would also include a determination that event contracts

involving each of the activities enumerated in CEA Section 5c(c)(5)(C) (gaming, war,

terrorism, assassination, and activity that is unlawful under any Federal or State law)

are, as a category, contrary to the public interest and therefore may not be listed for

trading or accepted for clearing on or through a CFTC-registered entity.
