The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) issued cease-and-desist orders to Raffall, a company based in the UK, and to an Arizona resident using the platform to promote the “Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes,” currently advertised online and through a separate website, winthisazhome.com, which is marketing the chance to “Win a Luxury $1.3M Arizona Mountainside Home”.

According to the Department’s investigation, the promotion required participants to purchase entries for a prize to be awarded and promised either a home transfer or a cash payout, depending on sales volume. The investigation further determined that the organizers intended to profit from ticket sales. Based on these findings, the Department alleges the activity constitutes an illegal gambling operation under Arizona law.

As part of the enforcement action, Raffall has been directed to remove all gambling-related drawings or giveaways targeting Arizona residents, and the Arizona resident has also been ordered to cease promoting or conducting any unlawful gambling activity.

“Illegal gambling can take many forms and it does not matter if it is labeled a sweepstakes, raffle, giveaway, or drawing. Unregulated operations put Arizonans at risk because there is no oversight, and therefore no accountability or safeguards in place. The Department will continue to take enforcement action to protect consumers, and we urge the public to learn what is legal before participating in or hosting any gambling activity,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming.

Slips, the social peer-to-peer betting app redefining real-money gaming, announced the launch of its AI-Generated Prediction Markets, allowing players to bet on virtually anything — from sports and politics to pop culture and beyond.

The new feature expands Slips’ core offering of Heads Up (winner takes all) and Pools (split the pot) by introducing automated, AI-powered markets. Fueled by integrations with advanced large language models, these systems can now:

• Automatically generate new bets around trending topics, events, and storylines.
• Audit and resolve outcomes in real time to ensure fairness and transparency.
• Scale prediction categories from sports and entertainment to politics, finance, and global events.

“Prediction markets are the natural evolution of peer-to-peer gaming, and AI is the engine that makes it limitless,” said Jess Richman, Founder & CEO of Slips. “By removing the house, empowering our users, and tapping into generative AI, we’re creating the world’s most dynamic, scalable, and social real-money betting experience.”

Since launching, Slippers have won over $6 million in winnings, with more than 150,000 users nationwide. Its social-first design includes leaderboards, messaging, and community features that make every bet more than just a wager — it’s a shared experience.

With rapid user growth, early revenue traction, and a scalable model designed for the expanding global market, Slips is positioned to redefine how people bet, play, and interact in the digital age. The possibilities are endless with AI-Generated Prediction Markets, whether it’s forecasting election results, guessing box office numbers, or betting on the next viral trend.

The company also announced that these markets will soon extend into futures, commodities, and politics, all powered by AI tools that automatically track, generate, and settle bets.
