About this market

The rules include qualifying legislative, cost-of-living and court-ordered increases, but require reporting by a designated source agency. A proposal alone does not establish the specified increase.

What determines the result?

  • Check that the increase applies to all members, rather than selected offices.
  • Verify qualifying source-agency reporting within the contract window.
  • Separate the event deadline from the API’s expiration fields.

Market outcomes

Event contracts are derivatives products, not sports betting or gambling products, and are not licensed by any state gaming or gambling regulator.

Trading event contracts involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of the funds you use to trade. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
