"Bets Off Act" signage as Representative Greg Casar, a Democrat from Texas, left, and Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, speak during a news conference at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, March 17, 2026. Stefani Reynolds | Bloomberg | Getty Images The U.S. Senate on Thursday unanimously passed a rule barring senators from trading on prediction markets effective immediately. The move came amid rising concern about insider trading on prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket , and about event contracts that can involve death or violence. On April 22, Kalshi said it had suspended and fined one U.S. Senate candidate and two candidates for the House of Representatives for political insider trading on their own campaigns. On April 23, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke , was arrested on an indictment accusing him of classified information to make bets on Polymarket related to the American military mission that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro .

Earlier on Thursday, a group of Democratic members of Congress called on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to issue a rule "that prevents insider trading and corruption in the market and prohibits event contracts on the outcome of elections, war and military actions in the U.S. or abroad, sports, and government actions without a valid economic hedging interest."

⚽ Conference League semi-final updates, 8pm BST kick-off ⚽ Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa – live | Scores | Mail Taha Yes, the one in Nottingham is a tantalising fixture … but this’ll be good, too, promise . Oliver Glasner has entered the final weeks of his spell at Crystal Palace with a prize still available; the club who took 120 years to win their first major trophy could make it two in two. They’re in Krakow after sweeping aside Fiorentina in the quarters, a 3-0 win at home in the first leg allowing for a 2-1 loss in the second. In the other corner, Arda Turan’s Shakhtar Donetsk. The former Atlético Madrid and Turkey midfielder is on his way to a league title in his first season at the helm, with Shakhtar eyeing up their second European trophy – they won the Uefa Cup in 2009, right before the Europa League rebrand. His side are here after a 5-2 aggregate victory over AZ Alkmaar. All of their Conference League “home” games this season have been played at the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium, owing to obvious reasons. “There is war in Ukraine and yet people live their lives,” said Turan. “Every day shows that this nation never gives up.” We get going at 8pm BST.

⚽ Europa League semi-final updates, 8pm BST kick-off ⚽ Shakhtar v Palace – live | Latest scores | Mail Daniel An affirming feature of Cup competitions is getting to enjoy clubs, players, managers and supporters enjoying and detesting their biggest game in generations. But what is much rarer is to have two teams, from neighbouring regions, competing against each other in a contest which means that much to both, and is vitally important in its own right. The specific dynamics of our match this evening are also special. Villa are the superior team, fifth in the league having spent much of the campaign higher – there was, briefly, talk of a title challenge – but they’ve struggled in recent months and arrive at this evening in spotty form. Forest, meanwhile, are the inferior team, 16th in the league having spent much of the campaign lower – there is, still, talk of a relegation battle – but they’ve improved in recent weeks and arrive at this evening in top form.
