The specific delta between this position and the current mainstream approaches of both major parties.
Neither the 2024 Democratic platform nor the 2024 Republican platform states a national gambling or prediction-market position. Democratic sponsors introduced the SAFE Bet Act in 2025, proposing federal sports-betting standards, advertising restrictions, affordability measures, a national self-exclusion list, and public-health research. The Innovation Party shares the national-floor and self-exclusion goals while rejecting routine income verification for ordinary adult participation. It adds customer-owned binding limits, a direct ban on credit and loss-linked retention, functional classification of event contracts, and public disclosure of revenue concentration.
