<div id="readability-page-1">Shares of sports-focused firms declined in Wednesday's after-hours session following a New York State bill seeking to ban sports-related prediction markets for residents. <h2>Sports Stocks Feel The Pinch</h2> Genius Sports ( GENI ), which provides services for sports leagues and betting partners, fell nearly 3% after-hours. Similarly, shares of companies involved in sports betting, including DraftKings ( DKNG ) and Flutter Entertainment ( FLUT ), also came under pressure, declining by 0.79% and 4.26%, respectively. &lt;figure class=&#34;wp-block-table&#34;&gt;<table><tbody><tr><td>Stock</td><td>After-Hours Gains % +/-</td><td>Price (Recorded at Wednesday’s Close)</td></tr><tr><td>Genius Sports Ltd. ( GENI ) </td><td>-2.91%</td><td>$10.30</td></tr><tr><td>DraftKings Inc. ( DKNG ) </td><td>-0.79%</td><td>$31.51</td></tr><tr><td>Flutter Entertainment PLC ( FLUT ) </td><td>-4.26%</td><td>$234.45</td></tr></tbody></table>&lt;/figure&gt; <h2>A Blow To Sports Betting?</h2> The sell-offs could be linked to a recent New York State legislation that aims to prohibit sports-related and event-based betting on platforms like Kalshi. The bill, also known as the ORACLE Act, proposes to ban several categories of markets for New York users, including wagers based on &#34;catastrophic” events like wars and disasters, politics, deaths, securities and “athletic” events. The bill seeks to ban betting on individual events or incidents within a larger sporting event, while predictions relating to the overall winner of a sports tournament will be permitted. The enforcement of this act would come under the state’s General Business Law, not just the New York State Gaming Commission, according to a Forbes report. The sponsors of the bill view it as a consumer-protection measure, aimed at regulating emerging platforms that blend financial trading with gambling mechanics, which have outpaced current oversight.

Kalshi, a federally-regulated prediction market, recently hit a $5 billion valuation after raising $300 million. Polygon (CRYPTO: POL)-based Polymarket, on the other hand, is vying to re-enter the U.S. market following a $2 billion investment from New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange Inc. ( ICE ) last month. Jason Trost, founder of Europe-based prediction market Smarkets, said that “we’re in the middle of a hype cycle” during Benzinga Fintech Day &amp; Awards 2025. Michael Zolla from TradingView highlighted the significance of social intelligence behind this phenomenon, adding that there is potential to become a data aggregator.
