Together, the integrity monitoring service providers will develop “best practices, compliance standards, and regulatory frameworks for prediction market operators,” while also monitoring markets for suspicious trading behavior to help detect things like prohibited insider trading.
“Both organizations recognize the significance of integrity monitoring and trade surveillance in supporting the rapid maturation of the prediction market vertical,” the companies said in the news release. “Both IC360 and Eventus will collaborate to deliver innovative and comprehensive integrity- and surveillance-focused products to the ecosystem.”

IC360 integrity monitoring used by sportsbooks, sports leagues
IC360 is a worldwide technology and consultancy firm that works with iGaming platforms, including many sports betting operators, and sports leagues to surveil wagering and flag unusual betting activity. The firm works with leagues including the NFL, MLB, NBA, UFC, and various college sports conferences, as well as major betting operators like DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, bet365, Caesars Sportsbook, and Fanatics, which recently became the first major sportsbook to launch its own prediction market platform.
IC360 has been responsible for initially flagging suspicious activity related to some recent sports betting scandals. That includes the case of Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz, who was indicted, along with teammate Emmanuel Clase, on charges of taking money to fix pitches to help gamblers win bets.
IC360, which reports unusual wagering activity to the leagues and operators, reportedly flagged two of Ortiz’s pitches that correlated with unusual gambling activity.
Prediction markets create “a new class of surveillance and compliance risk”
Eventus provides its clients with trading surveillance software, with its Validus platform deployed to monitor financial markets like “equities, options, futures, foreign exchange (FX), fixed income, and digital asset markets,” according to the release. The company says its clients include banks, brokers, futures commission merchants (FCMs), proprietary trading groups, and energy and commodity trading firms, as well as regulators.
Eventus CEO Travis Schwab said that partnering with IC360 will allow clients to build a “full-lifecycle integrity approach,” with Validus’s around-the-clock trading surveillance and case management pairing with IC360’s event monitoring and “insider-risk capabilities.”
“Prediction markets sit at the intersection of financial market structure and real-world event integrity, and that combination creates a new class of surveillance and compliance risk,” Schwab said. “Operators need to protect against trade-based manipulation and abusive strategies while also staying ahead of pre-trade insider risk, information advantages, and event or settlement vulnerabilities.”
Kalshi integrated IC360 monitoring earlier this year
In March, Kalshi announced that it was integrating IC360’s integrity monitoring into its platform, using the company’s ProhiBet services to detect “individuals who are prohibited from engaging in prediction markets or sports betting.” The focus of that announcement appeared to be more on sports markets, with the ProhiBet technology able to flag trades by (or informed by) coaches, athletes, or other staff prohibited from using non-public knowledge to gain a trading advantage.
“Every decision we’ve made at Kalshi has followed that core principle, and our partnership with IC360 is rooted in that belief,” Mansour said at the time. “We’re excited to have them as a partner to help ensure our markets remain the gold standard in safety and integrity.”
Presumably, IC360’s partnership with Eventus will help expand its monitoring capabilities with Kalshi to include non-sports markets. IC360 has not yet responded to our request for more details about the partnership. We will update this story with their response.
“Prediction markets create unique integrity challenges that demand a new level of sophistication,” IC360 co-CEO Scott Sadin said in today’s news release. “We strongly believe that integrity in sport can be achieved through innovative, technology-driven solutions and collaborative stakeholder engagement. Our partnership with Eventus is a terrific embodiment of these principles, and we’re looking forward to working closely with them to foster a compliant, transparent, and ethical prediction market ecosystem.”
The CFTC prohibits trading on non-public information
“Insider trading” on prediction markets has been a hot topic of late. While some feel that having individuals with inside knowledge trading helps improve the accuracy of the markets, others say that allowing it would cause trust issues and potentially lead to traders leaving a platform in droves.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which oversees and regulates prediction markets federally, prohibits trading on Material Non-Public Information (MNPI). Kalshi has trading prohibitions that forbid trading by employees of a source agency, anyone with MNPI regarding a contract, or anyone with “the ability to influence the outcome of the contract.”
Trading based on insider information has been suspected by some observers a few times this year. In October, driven by a few large trades, Nobel Prize odds spiked on Polymarket in favor of the eventual winner shortly before they were announced, though some believe that could have been due to unpublished metadata on the Nobel website.
More recently, accusations of insider trading on Polymarket arose when a trader profited over $1 million on trades in markets for who would be the most searched person on Google in 2025. According to InGame, that user won 22 of their 23 trades in the markets, leading to suspicions that it could have been a Google employee with inside knowledge. These trades were on Polymarket’s international blockchain-based platform. Polymarket’s US platform, which will be overseen by the CFTC, soft-launched last week with only sports markets so far.
It is these sorts of trades that IC360 and Eventus could conceivably help detect and flag for further investigation. Successfully catching traders using non-public information could lead to higher public trust in platforms and help them better retain their user base.
