In a move reflecting the growing intersection of fintech and sports analytics, Sportradar has announced a multi-year global agreement with Kalshi. Under this partnership, Sportradar will serve as the core data and infrastructure provider for Kalshi’s sports prediction markets across premier leagues. The integration of official sports data into the prediction market ecosystem is designed to allow market makers and brokers to participate seamlessly in sports-based event contracts.
This partnership comes amid a surge in institutional interest in prediction markets, as sports data firms seek to diversify revenue streams beyond traditional betting. Compared to peers, Genius Sports (GENI) has reported strong growth in data-related revenue in recent quarters per market data, placing Sportradar in direct competition for the emerging event contract sector. Analysts suggest that utilizing official data feeds reduces settlement risks and bolsters trader confidence in result accuracy.
