Legal Prediction Market Solution for Licensed Sportsbooks
BetEx is collaborating with licensed sportsbooks and regulators to preserve the integrity of the state-regulated sports betting industry in the face of emerging federal prediction market encroachments by platforms such as Kalshi.
BetEx merges traditional sports betting with the sophistication of stock market style trading by enabling bettors to place wagers with state licensed sportsbooks and trading them on a multi-jurisdictional exchange.
BetEx is not a peer-to-peer betting exchange, an already placed bet with a participating licensed operator is tradeable on a multi-jurisdictional exchange
BetEx empowers operators to offer standardized betting props and allows bettors to sell their already bets at competitive prices.
BetEx generates additional revenues for operators and the states beyond their traditional sports betting offerings.

Exchange Tradeable Bets
BetEx is revolutionizing the sportsbook industry with a new ecosystem for issuing and trading Exchange-Tradeable Bets (ETBs), including futures and composite bets. This innovation generates additional revenue for operators and brings wagering closer to Wall Street style trading.
Secondary Market for Bets
BetEx ecosystem facilitates the buy and sell orders while casino-operators handle cash and customer orders. The trading on the secondary market is managed by the system's matching engine. What gets traded is an already placed bet with a state licensed operator.
A New Era of Sports Betting
BetEx is introducing Bet Derivatives and trading on a national exchange at competitive prices. BetEx enables sportsbooks to offer exchange-tradeable bets (ETBs), a standardized process, providing bettors with greater flexibility and market-driven odds.
Composite Bets
BetEx is also introducing Composite Bets which cover multiple events across a period such as an entire season. The wisdom of the crowd trading on BetEx helps establish market prices as results of each event fluctuates from the expected outcome.
Creating a New Asset Class
BetEx is introducing ETBs to create a new asset class for bettors and investors to trade. Bookmakers and Market Makers can use this new asset class to minimize their risks on the outcome of a game.
AI Trading
BetEx is introducing AI Trading to empower Bookmakers and Market Makers to leverage advanced AI Trading algorithms to minimize risks and optimize their trading strategies. By using AI to analyze market trends, pricing fluctuations, and betting patterns in real-time, Bookmakers can manage their exposure more effectively, while Market Makers can enhance liquidity and maintain balanced books. This intelligent approach to risk management allows them to maximize profitability while offering more competitive odds and improved market efficiency.

BetEx Vs. Kalshi
BetEx’s model stands in stark contrast to Kalshi’s, which operates a peer-to-peer sports wagering exchange—a structure that likely violates federal, state laws and Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. As of June 2025, 34 State Attorney Generals are pursuing legal action against Kalshi for offering sports event contracts.
In 2020, Kalshi secured CFTC approval to facilitate the trading of event-based futures, excluding politics and sports. However, Kalshi struggled with low volumes trading traditional commodity and event-based markets. In 2024, the company expanded into political betting, and in January 2025, it controversially introduced sports betting markets—a move that directly conflicts with the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling overturning PASPA and the Wire Act. This development is expected to face significant legal challenges from states that generate billions in tax revenue from sports wagering.
An Innovative Exchange
BetEx has developed an innovative exchange that enables licensed sportsbooks to offer Exchange Tradeable Bets (ETBs) to their customers while ensuring full compliance with state and federal laws. As a B2B provider, the platform creates Initial Prop Offerings (IPOs), allowing sportsbooks to offer these IPOs directly to their customers, have the option to adjust their initial pricings, and participate in the exchange to minimize their risks. Any individual with an account at a participating sportsbook can engage in the exchange, buying and selling issued ETBs through their operator using BetEx’s platform.
In 2025, over $150 billion was wagered across 40 states. BetEx believes if bettors are given the ability to sell their bets in an electronic auction-style market—similar to a stock exchange—wagering transaction volumes could increase as much as five folds compared to the current market structure, where bets are treated as restricted binary assets with no liquidity.
