Would stop people from betting on terrorism, political killings, wars, and some government actions.
This bill would make it against the law for anyone to bet on very serious events like acts of terrorism, political killings, wars, or certain government decisions. It would also prevent financial companies from letting people trade on these kinds of events. These new rules would start 30 days after the bill is signed into law.
Today, there is no specific federal law that broadly bans betting on serious events not about money, like acts of terrorism, political killings, or government actions. After this bill, it would be illegal for anyone to place or accept such bets, and financial companies would be stopped from offering related trades. The U.S. Attorney General would also be able to take legal action against those who break the rules.
