The next year, in 2004, InTrade made headlines again, this time for very accurately predicting the results of the Bush v. Kerry presidential election.
That media coverage triggered a bump in InTrade's American users.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which regulates futures markets in the U.S., went after both Intrade and its counterpart, the British site Betfair.
But Intrade and its CEO wouldn't play ball.
So between 2005 and 2013, the CFTC came back over and over again, first with a cease and desist and fines, because Intrade allowed its users to trade on commodities that didn't have legal markets in the U.S., like crude oil and gold futures.
Then Congress passed legislation cracking down on online gambling.
Intrade saw a big drop in users.
And finally, in 2013, the CFTC came back to hammer in the final nail in InTrade's coffin.
A lawsuit.
But the CFTC did not stop going after Intrade, even after the company had gone out of business.
They're sending a message.
That isn't to say no one tried.
A few other election markets made a go of it in the U.S.
over the course of the 2010s.
Sports gambling became legal in some states during this time.
But on the whole, the federal government kept a very tight leash on those markets —
And that includes Kalshi and Polymarket, the two prediction markets that are in the news right now.
Both sides gained steam around the 2024 presidential election.
Kalshi ran legally under the watchful eye of the CFTC.
But Polymarket did not get that same go-ahead and was completely banned by the U.S.
