STOP Corrupt Bets Act of 2026

The STOP Corrupt Bets Act of 2026 is a legislative proposal introduced by Representative Jamie Raskin that aims to address issues surrounding corruption in betting markets. While the specific text of the bill has not yet been summarized by the Congressional Research Service, its title and referral to the House Committee on Agriculture suggest it would likely target the integrity of commodity or event-based wagering. If enacted, the bill would propose new standards to prevent the manipulation of betting outcomes and enhance transparency in financial or agricultural markets.

Because the bill has been referred to the Committee on Agriculture, it may specifically focus on oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding event contracts or other speculative betting activities. This legislation proposes to protect the public and the economy from the potential fallout of corrupt gambling practices. As a standard bill, it would require approval from both the House and Senate and the President's signature to become law, though it currently remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
