bet365 files to exit the American Gaming Association
Following DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics, all of which exited the American Gaming Association (AGA) in late 2025, bet365 has become the latest operator to also leave the trade group.
The operators that chose to exit the AGA stated that the decision was connected to the trade body’s objection to prediction markets; however, bet365 hasn’t yet filed for prediction markets’ approval with the National Futures Association and cited retail casino as the reason behind the departure decision.
On March 24, 2026, a bet365 spokesperson shared with Covers:
“As a digital-first operator, bet365 has pulled back from the AGA due to the organization’s focus on the retail casino industry. We greatly value our industry partnerships and remain committed to working constructively with regulators and partners across the markets in which we operate.”
Previously, the CEO of AGA, Bill Miller, addressed the members in a letter in December 2025, clarifying the organization’s position regarding prediction markets and stating that AGA focuses on tribal, land-based, and state-regulated gaming.
Miller wrote:
“Our position is clear and unwavering: sports event contracts are gambling, and gambling is regulated by states and tribes. In 2026, we will continue to defend this framework and uphold state authority and tribal sovereignty.”
Bet365’s decision is another blow for the AGA, as the trade body continues to see members departing one after another.
