Polymarket also clarified that traders cannot place a bet if they &#8220;hold a position of authority or influence&#8221; that may influence the outcome of a certain event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, CEOs of a public company would not be allowed to trade on a market focused on how many times they will use a certain word during an earnings call with Wall Street analysts. Polymarket&#8217;s rules, which are now posted on a &#8220;market integrity&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/polymarket.com\/market-integrity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">page<\/a> on its website, apply to the company&#8217;s U.S. exchange and offshore operations.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Concern around trading&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Companies like Polymarket and rival Kalshi let users wager money on the outcome of elections, sports contests and many other events. Yet while their popularity has exploded, the companies are attracting attention from lawmakers and other critics who say they violate anti-gambling regulations and who raise concerns about the integrity of trading activity on the platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There had been a lot of concern around trading on the U.S. market from outside the U.S. borders and vice versa,&#8221; said Stephen Piepgrass, a partner at Troutman Pepper Locke who leads the law firm&#8217;s regulatory practice. &#8220;So I do think part of this is about trying to create an approach that applies everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Polymarket said it uses a &#8220;multi-layered monitoring system&#8221; and partners with surveillance and technology specialists to determine if users are violating its terms of use. The prediction platform outlined several steps it could take<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>if it detects questionable trading activity, including referring the matter to law enforcement and taking other disciplinary actions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Markets thrive on clarity,&#8221; Neal Kumar, chief legal officer of Polymarket, said in a statement. &#8220;These rule enhancements make our expectations abundantly clear for every participant across both platforms and highlight the compliance infrastructure we have already built.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Getting ahead of regulators<\/h2>\n<p>Polymarket has raised eyebrows in recent months after some of its customers placed suspiciously well-timed bets on the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/polymarket-maduro-capture-bet-400000\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">capture of former Venezuelan President<\/a><\/span> Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and the outbreak of\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-khamenei-prediction-markets-insider-trading\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">war in Iran<\/a><\/span>. One user appeared to make hundreds of thousands of dollars on wagers related to the timing of U.S. strikes on Iran.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The incident prompted Senator Ruben Gallego, a Democrat from Arizona, to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RubenGallego\/status\/2028131575527825822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">write<\/a> on social media: &#8220;Insider trading in broad daylight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Piepgrass said Polymarket and Kalshi are likely trying to firm up their own rules against insider trading to preempt any move by Congress to impose restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the concern is, if these market platforms don&#8217;t implement their own regimes, then someone&#8217;s going to do that for them,&#8221; he told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which regulates prediction markets, earlier this month issued guidance on what measures prediction markets should take to prevent insider trading.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As part of a proposed rulemaking process, the agency also encouraged exchanges to engage with its staff when designing event contracts to identify potential &#8220;manipulation or price distortion risks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In some ways, this may be an effort to get in front of that process,&#8221; Piepgrass said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
