It is irrelevant as the number of bets placed on political events is usually much lower than the mainstream sports betting. Therefore most of the casinos offer such events just to show that they do care and listen to people, although these people are very few compare to what most people want. So for most people this thing if a casino keeps or not keeps the political events is not something that will make them go away to some other casino, only few individuals compared to the masses will be impacted by such choice.

No much impact can really be felt as a result from the betting of such political events in casinos that allows it. The large number of people that are voting are not gamblers and won’t even want to take their money to place a vote through that means. Also, some gamblers may not like a particular casino and won’t be interested in using their platform for the bet, so they may chose to use another casino for it. This will have little or no effect whatsoever in the result of the election. So casinos should not be their target for a loss election which they had nothing to do with.

But the Department of Justice claimed that Polymarket is under investigation for allegedly allowing US-based users to bet on the site. Polymarket doesn't have permission to operate bets and predictions in the US but users usually invade the prohibition using VPNs.

The raid should have been done earlier if the reason for the raid is this purpose they said. They shouldn’t have waited till after the elections before they raid him. No one will believe that is the reason for that. Also, poly market has become more popular after this big bet on the outcome of the US election. They were even been clamp down on by France government because of that. The US department of justice should be just in this case and allow the CEO go and not detained.
