# Senate Considers DoD Prediction-Market Limits

The Senate Armed Services Committee’s FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act draft, Section 1081, would require Department of Defense personnel to report covered prediction-market trades exceeding $250. The Project On Government Oversight is urging committee leaders to go further by prohibiting DoD personnel from trading, requiring public financial disclosures, and defining penalties. These proposals are not yet final; NDAA negotiations could change rules affecting military-related event contracts and the operators that offer them.

- Companies providing prediction-market services should assess how the draft reporting threshold and POGO’s proposed broader restrictions could affect DoD personnel’s access to military-related event contracts.
- Contractors should account for the proposal’s potential implications for employee conduct and business interactions involving prediction-market operators; the proposed blanket ban and disclosure provisions are recommendations, not enacted requirements.
- The measure is being considered through the FY2027 NDAA process, so the final statutory language will determine whether any new obligations apply.
