Kalshi will spend $2 million over two years on a partnership with the National Council on Problem Gambling, becoming the first prediction market company to formally join the organization. The agreement creates a new “Financial Services & Trading” membership category within NCPG, with Kalshi joining at the platinum level. The partnership centers on trader health and safety, funding education campaigns, research projects, and consumer resources to help users recognize risky financial behavior across retail trading platforms. Kalshi operates a federally regulated prediction market exchange where users trade contracts tied to real-world events such as elections, sports, entertainment, and economic indicators. Regulators and lawmakers have raised concerns that some prediction market products may resemble gambling as sports betting and retail trading expand.
"Kalshi said Monday (May 18) it will spend $2 million over the next two years on a partnership with the National Council on Problem Gambling, becoming the first prediction market company to formally join the organization as concerns grow around responsible consumer behavior in fast-growing trading markets."
"The agreement also creates a new "Financial Services & Trading" membership category inside the National Council on Problem Gambling, known as NCPG. Kalshi will join as a platinum-level member, according to statements released by both groups."
