GAME Act of 2026

This bill would make it illegal, starting one year after it becomes law, for large online platforms to show targeted ads to anyone under 18 that promote sports gambling services, including services marketed as prediction markets. It applies to social media sites, search engines, and digital ad networks that earn money from ads and have more than 100 million unique monthly users or visitors. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the ban as an unfair or deceptive practice. A platform found in violation, or that settles, in 3 or more enforcement actions would be referred to the Attorney General and could be fined up to $100,000 per ad. Ads based only on the content of a page, or shown in direct response to a user's request, would not count as targeted ads.
