Data supply deal with Kalshi aims to enhance transparency in event contract settlement
Genius Sports has signed a sports data and integrity deal with Kalshi, adding to the Polymarket partnership it announced earlier this week.
Genius Sports will provide Kalshi with real-time data from its extensive football portfolio which includes the English Premier League, Italy’s Serie A, Mexico’s Liga MX, Argentine Primera División, French Ligue 1, and more.
The use of official data for event contracts settlement is meant to enhance transparency and reduce Kalshi’s reliance on unofficial or delayed data sources.
As part of the agreement, Kalshi will participate in Genius Sports’ information-sharing processes and will also leverage the company’s marketing services to grow its audience.
“As the prediction market ecosystem continues to expand at a rapid pace, the use of official data and integrity services is more important than ever,” said Adam Barrick, head of sports partnerships at Kalshi. “We’re proud to partner with Genius Sports, with their proven track record in providing the highest quality sports data and working alongside leagues to protect the transparency of sporting competitions.”
The deal with Kalshi comes after Genius Sports announced a similar prediction markets deal with Polymarket.
“Prediction markets will scale on a foundation of trusted, fast and accurate data, reliable technology and robust integrity services, and that is exactly where Genius Sports is uniquely positioned,” said Sean Conroy, executive vice president of rights and partnerships at Genius Sports.
“This partnership with Kalshi demonstrates how we can provide the essential technology layer that enables accurate and transparent sports markets. As this category grows, we believe Genius Sports will play a central role in shaping its development while helping protect the integrity of sports.”
Shares in Genius Sports Ltd. (NYSE:GENI) gained 3.09 per cent on the news to close at $8.33 per share, having climbed almost 25 per cent since the start of the week.
Genius Sports will report its financial results for the second quarter of 2026 later today.
