With the booming development of event betting platforms bringing new regulatory challenges, several Wall Street institutions have introduced constraints rules. One of the most clear-cut measures is Goldman Sachs Group's restriction policy: the bank prohibits employees from participating in predicting market trading, with only sports and entertainment betting not covered by the ban. Documents show that Goldman recently updated its personal trading management regulations, strictly prohibiting employees from trading event contracts involving various enterprises, election results including Goldman itself, and all financial market performance. Goldman explicitly stated that employees who repeatedly violate the rules will face dismissal or account closure. In the event of a violation, the bank has the right to demand that employees hand over profits exceeding $200, or donate the excess profits to charity.
