The excitement of breaking the law to win the prize money or free round of drinks might make winning all the more sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, you could be fired \u2015 or worse \u2015 in which case that free margarita at Chili\u2019s might not be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s against the Code of Federal Regulations for federal employees as well as contractors, vendors, exhibitors or just members of the public hanging out in a federal building to gamble, <a href=\"https:\/\/ethics.od.nih.gov\/topics\/gambling.htm\" title=\"\" class=\"\">according to the National Institutes of Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also against the rules if you\u2019re a federal employee to gamble during your working hours, regardless of where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, you can still have an office pool \u201cpurely for fun or picking winners to claim bragging rights.\u201d But if there\u2019s a prize for winning a game of chance and there\u2019s \u201cconsideratiion for the opportunity to play the game,\u201d don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what if you do do it? What could possibly happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, \u201d[v]iolations of the regulations may be cause for disciplinary action by the employee\u2019s agency, which may be in addition to any penalty prescribed by law,\u201d according to NIH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upshot? Avoid the risk; if you\u2019re going to gamble, don\u2019t do it during working hours or at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to add a little extra spice to your March
