NBA agreements connect Kalshi and Polymarket to official settlement data
The agreements give both exchanges access to official NBA data supplied by Sportradar for settling authorized markets and rights to use NBA intellectual property in the United States. League and team personnel are prohibited from trading NBA event contracts under the integrity terms.
The NBA has designated Kalshi and Polymarket as its preferred prediction market exchanges and signed an information-sharing agreement with the CFTC, according to Cointelegraph.
Data access and intellectual property
The exchange agreements provide Kalshi and Polymarket with access to official NBA data supplied by Sportradar. That data will be used to settle authorized markets, according to Cointelegraph.
Both exchanges also receive rights to use NBA intellectual property in the United States. The arrangements therefore cover both settlement data and the use of league assets.
Integrity terms restrict personnel trading
Under the integrity terms, league and team personnel are prohibited from trading NBA event contracts, Cointelegraph reported. That restriction accompanies the access and rights granted to the exchanges.
The NBA’s information-sharing agreement with the CFTC adds a separate component to the announcement. The supplied summary does not detail what information will be shared or how that arrangement will operate.
What it means for prediction markets
- Settlement: Official NBA data from Sportradar will support settlement of authorized markets on Kalshi and Polymarket.
- Exchange rights: Preferred status comes with access to NBA intellectual property in the United States.
- Integrity: The trading prohibition applies to league and team personnel; the scope of the CFTC information-sharing arrangement is not detailed in the supplied material.
