By Martin Bjoerck (iGB) As prediction markets boom in the US, European regulators move swiftly to block them, exposing a widening a transatlantic divide over whether they are considered financial innovation or simply unlicensed gambling.

June 29, 2011 News & Reports

by Thibault Verbiest and Tatjana Klaeser

General Introduction
