Sportradar and OpenBet have left the American Gaming Association (AGA), the latest high-profile exits from the body as the industry remains split over the legal status of prediction markets.
According to updated AGA membership data, Sportradar and OpenBet have not renewed their membership as of this month’s annual renewal.
This comes after DraftKings and FanDuel announced their exit from the association in November 2025, followed by Fanatics shortly after.
DraftKings and FanDuel have confirmed their plans to develop their own prediction products, citing lack of alignment as the main reason for their exit.
DraftKings said at the time: “As the company’s business strategy evolves, including with prediction markets, DraftKings determined that its plans no longer fully align with the AGA’s direction in certain areas and has decided to relinquish its membership.”
OpenBet partners with FanDuel and its parent company, Flutter, while Sportradar provides data to both DraftKings and FanDuel.
Sportradar provides official data to the NBA, MLB, and NHL, and is a vital statistic that sportsbooks require to determine odds.
OpenBet provides the underlying technology and risk management tools that power some of the biggest sportsbooks in the US and UK.
The current split in the industry comes as prediction markets begin to emerge, which allow users to bet on the outcome of future events.
While the AGA has lobbied the US government to shut these sites down, arguing that they represent a type of unregulated gambling, these companies are now choosing to embrace this growing sector.
Neither Sportradar nor OpenBet responded to a request for comment before publication.
A rift develops in US betting
The AGA has increased its opposition to these platforms recently. On January 12, the trade group and the Indian Gaming Association sent a joint letter to Congress requesting a crackdown on sports-related contracts offered by prediction markets.
The group argued that such products bypass the strict consumer protections and tax obligations required of state-regulated sportsbooks.
Prediction markets are currently regulated as financial products by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rather than by state gaming boards.
This distinction has allowed platforms like Kalshi to operate in jurisdictions where traditional sports betting remains prohibited.
The AGA has warned that the expansion of these markets threatens the sovereign rights of tribes and states to regulate gaming within their borders.
The loss of two major suppliers further thins the association’s roster of digital-first members.
While the AGA remains the primary voice for land-based casinos and legacy manufacturers, the loss of its digital-first members has created a significant advocacy void in the emerging online sector.
The Sports Betting Alliance (SBA) has emerged as the primary lobbying vehicle for digital operators. Because the SBA includes FanDuel, DraftKings, and Fanatics, it now holds the mandate for most matters involving mobile wagering and online casinos.
The departure of these firms likely means that when Congress considers the regulation of prediction markets in 2026, the industry will not speak with a single voice.
Instead, lawmakers will face competing testimonies: the AGA defending the existing state-regulated system, and a new coalition of tech-driven firms advocating for a federal framework under the CFTC.
