Key Points

This bill stops politicians and political groups from using donated campaign money to bet on the outcome of elections or other political events.
It targets prediction markets, which are platforms where people trade based on what they think will happen in the future, like who will win a race or if a law will pass.
Candidates would still be allowed to put their money in safe places like bank accounts, mutual funds, or other low-risk investments.
People who break this rule on purpose could face up to five years in prison and large fines.
The goal is to make sure money donated for a campaign is used for its intended purpose rather than for financial gambling.
