The NFL has issued a renewed warning to prediction market platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket urging them to remove contracts tied to player injuries and other easily manipulated outcomes ahead of the 2026 season
Kalshi has secured a multi-year partnership with the US Open, becoming its official prediction market partner. The deal expands Kalshi’s presence in mainstream sports but comes as the platform faces ongoing regulatory and legal scrutiny
Polymarket has introduced NFL injury report event contracts for the 2026 season, expanding its sports event offerings as regulatory and league scrutiny over prediction markets and contract manipulation risks continues
Kalshi has secured multi-year marketing partnerships with five Major League Baseball franchises, gaining in-stadium advertising rights and app-based promotions while league-wide terms remain under discussion
The British Betting & Gaming Council projects that illegal gambling operators could see up to GBP 800 million in bets during the English Premier League season, raising concerns about regulatory effectiveness and player protection
