David Bean, Chairman of the U.S. Indian Gaming Association (IGA), criticized, "If Clarity passes, it will be the greatest threat to Native American tribal self-governance in decades." He argued, "Although the bill was amended to exclude prediction markets from the decentralized finance (DeFi) exception clause, these changes alone have not addressed the concerns of Native American tribes." Previously, Native American tribal organizations had claimed that prediction markets like Kalshi were siphoning off tribal casino profits.
