    Journalist gets first nudged, then offers of $$, then death threats to change his reporting in order to make a polymarket bet settle the right way.

        Gambling by another psuedo-intellectual name is still gambling. Regulate accordingly.

          It's not legal in Hawaii. The story is the liberal state government considered it a tax on the working class. The truth might be more complicated. I have a feeling it was something of a non-competition agreement with Nevada. Hawaii has its own gangs make no mistake. They're from other parts of Oceania and mostly from Asia. I also have a feeling the Hawaii tourism industry didn't want to be associated with it.

            The prediction markets are legal throughout the us and now do sports betting too.
