Bill overview
The Bets Off Act prohibits placing, accepting, or facilitating wagers on specific events, including acts of terrorism, assassinations, and wars. It defines ‘specified event’ broadly to encompass events under government control or known in advance. The bill amends existing federal laws to criminalize related activities and strengthen enforcement against illegal gambling, particularly concerning trading related to these prohibited events. It also restricts the listing and trading of related instruments on commodity exchanges.
