LDS General Conference speakers denounce gambling and prediction markets
Original: General Conference Day 1: Gambling and prediction markets addressed as ‘morally wrong’
On the first day of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' General Conference, speakers declared gambling and the fast-growing prediction markets to be morally wrong. The remarks extend longstanding church opposition to betting into new territory, as sports wagering and event-forecasting platforms expand rapidly across the United States and draw renewed ethical scrutiny.
Why now: Prediction markets and sports betting are expanding quickly, and a major religious body publicly condemning them is notable.
