Polymarket withdraws NFL player-availability filing after CFTC request
Polymarket withdrew its self-certification for NFL player-availability markets after the CFTC asked it not to offer them ahead of the new season. A company spokesperson said the withdrawal was intended to ensure compliance; Kalshi continued offering similar markets, including one on Patrick Mahomes playing in week one, priced at a 94% chance.
The CFTC intervention affects the availability of athlete participation markets and leaves competing platforms offering different products.
