## Full section analysis

Oregon's regulated gambling market remains a single-platform monopoly under the Oregon Lottery and DraftKings, a structure this cycle finds stable in itself. The dominant developments instead sit at the market's edges: a private federal class action alleges Kalshi is operating an illegal online gambling enterprise under Oregon law, and a national scorecard gives Oregon an F grade for player-protection harm-mitigation, specifically citing the absence of a statewide self-exclusion list. Neither development originates from state regulatory action — the Lottery and Attorney General have not moved on either front this cycle. This combination of rising private-litigation and reputational pressure without a corresponding regulatory response supports an amber traffic-light read for the jurisdiction overall: the licensed channel is unaffected, but the surrounding environment for prediction markets and player protection is deteriorating in ways the Legislature has not addressed.
