NHL defends Kalshi and Polymarket partnerships as a way to monitor contracts
The NHL has partnered with Kalshi and Polymarket, giving the platforms access to official league data, marks and logos. Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league can seek removal of contracts it considers unsuitable and monitors betting and prediction markets; he also cited the league’s sportsbook partnerships with FanDuel and Caesars.
The NHL’s control over contract offerings is part of its stated rationale for partnering with prediction-market platforms.
