If you read the fine print, it kinda implies, "Oh, we would TOTALLY do death markets, but we're not allowed to."

@ddayen.bsky.social This really feels like it should be rule #1, but that's just me.
@ddayen.bsky.social So basically one cannot bet on when a new US president will be inaugurated. As the main decider of that will not be an election but a death.
@ddayen.bsky.social I like that the small print makes it clear that they don't do it just because of regulation.

@ddayen.bsky.social OUR COMPANY IS HONEST AND ETHICAL*

* — to the extent the law requires

@ddayen.bsky.social @bitprophet the fact that they felt the need to add a reason tells even more.
