No legal gambling of any kind. One of two states with no legal gambling.
CFTC-regulated prediction markets are available in Hawaii. Event contracts are federally regulated and not classified as gambling under CFTC rules.
Prediction markets (also called event contracts) let you trade on the outcome of real-world events — elections, economic indicators, weather, and more. Unlike sports betting, these are CFTC-regulated financial instruments traded on designated contract markets.
Since Hawaii does not have legal online sports betting, prediction markets offer one of the few legal ways to trade on event outcomes. CFTC-regulated platforms are available regardless of state sports betting laws.
