  • U.S. Senate Bans Members, Staff from Betting on Prediction Markets
    April 30, 2026, 8:16 PM EDT. The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution banning its members and staff from using prediction markets, where participants bet on future events. The measure aims to prevent conflicts of interest as lawmakers may access sensitive information. Sponsored by Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), the ban comes after a special forces soldier was charged with betting on Venezuela's leadership using classified data. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called the move a "no-brainer" and urged the House and Trump administration to adopt similar rules. The resolution was added as a Senate rule change and took effect immediately. Prediction markets allow betting on political and economic outcomes, raising ethical concerns inside government.
