Abstract

The article discusses the National Hockey League's (NHL) multiyear partnerships with prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket, marking a significant development in the acceptance of prediction markets within American sports. These platforms allow users to trade contracts based on event outcomes, operating under the oversight of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which enables them to function across all states. The NHL's collaboration grants these companies the use of its logos and trademarks, while also providing them with visibility during major broadcasts. This partnership occurs amid increasing competition for traditional sportsbooks and concerns from state regulators regarding the implications of prediction markets on local betting laws.
