Fliff and Onyx Odds have filed for Futures Commission Merchant registration to transition their operations from sweepstakes gaming to prediction markets. The filings were recorded by the National Futures Association as both platforms adjust to increasing U.S. regulatory scrutiny.
Shift Toward Federal Derivatives Framework

This regulatory structure allows the platforms to offer sports and event-based wagering under futures commission merchant oversight instead of relying on traditional sweepstakes mechanics.The registration requests reflect a wider industry adjustment as operators explore alternative compliance models amid tightening state-level rules for social gaming. According to Gambling Insider, NFA documentation confirms the filings, positioning Fliff and Onyx Odds within the event contract sector.
