Prediction market player endorsements are still prohibited by the NFL and PGA Tour.

Even while other leagues and sportsmen are increasingly using prediction market sites, the NFL and the PGA Tour will still prohibit them from doing so.

Due to unresolved regulatory issues and possible threats to competitive integrity, both organizations limit player links with gambling-related businesses, claiming that prediction markets are viewed similarly to other gambling-related activities under current league regulations.

With prices changing in reaction to buying and selling activity rather than fixed odds provided by a bookmaker, prediction markets enable users to trade contracts on the results of sporting events.

The platforms can offer goods in jurisdictions where traditional sports betting is still prohibited because they are governed by the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than state gaming regulations.

LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau became the first athlete to formally partner with a prediction market operator this week when he inked an endorsement contract with Kalshi.
