Kalshi lays the basics with CFTC to launch three new sports betting options
Kalshi, the prediction market, has looked more and more in the world of sports games. A new self-certification with the Commodity Futures US Commission Futures Commission (CFTC) has now shown that the company plans to allow new Paris styles which seem extremely close to the Territoire de Sportsbook.
The documents detailing this whole list how betting would be set up on Kalshi. For example, he has a typical example:
“…” Will
So far, the CFTC has given the boost so that Kalshi can move forward with the following Paris styles:
- Football Spreads
- Football total
- Football
In a press release, Kalshi CEO, Tarek Mansour, explained why they took the trouble to be certified by the CFTC:
“The implementation of these markets under CFTC surveillance gives consumers the same level of protection as merchants and institutions of Wall Street.
“Kalshi brings more liquidity, efficiency and price competition to markets in the sports industry of $ 400 billion, and our traction so far testifies.”
Kalshi’s sport expansion shows growing pains despite the success
The prediction market has been drawing the world of sport for some time. Since he launched his NFL offers, the company has seen an explosion of use. As we mentioned earlier, Kalshi saw his first week of activity provoking the equivalent of American electoral betting that the platform was taking place for its duration. Kalshi has also established a partnership with the NFL on Fox, promoting its links with the world of sport at a frantic pace.
To be clear, it is horrible and the same problem as the DK cancellation bets made on public information. Who is the referee of the “last negotiated price” – is it when Schefter reports or when the official inactors come out? What if the price is leaking before the official announcement? What is the “fair market price”

However, as indicated by Game, Kalshi’s methods to keep up to date with the ins and outs of the NFL began to cause friction. In an example, player Roschon Johnson was absent from his game, but Kalshi had kept the bet on his site. Of course, the vivid eyes in the eyes have placed a “no” on him, the screenshot of a user shows that he would have won $ 2,500.
Kalshi specifies that the player must “take at least one snap”, or participate in the game, otherwise it is by default “the last market price just before the start of the game”. Now the problem is what determines a “fair market price” and why Kalshi is not above its markets. We will have to see how they manage things as its expansion of Sportsbook continues.
