Benesch Partner Kevin Frankel Quoted in Coverage of State Actions Against Prediction Markets

The Rockford Register Star highlighted insights from Benesch Partner Kevin Frankel, in its recent reporting on Illinois regulators’ determination that online prediction markets violate state law. Frankel, who closely follows nationwide enforcement trends in emerging digital‑market litigation, offered perspective on how state attorneys general coordinate in multistate actions.

“…We have seen similar situations in other nationwide litigation where a few lead states do the heavy lifting and the rest of the AGs pile on later,” said Kevin Frankel, a partner at the national firm Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff, who has written about the prediction market litigation. “Of course, a particularly activist state government could decide to grab the bull by the horns and attempt to create good case law in their district/circuit.”
