Robinhood Launches “Pro Football Championship” Contracts

Robinhood Derivatives LLC (RHD) has launched event contracts for the Pro Football Championship. The trading platform launched the event contracts on Monday to let U.S. customers wager on the outcome of the Super Bowl clash, seeking to tap into the betting mania around one of the most iconic sporting events in the country.

“Robinhood’s mission is to democratize finance for all. With an emerging asset class like event contracts, we recognize an opportunity to better serve our customers as their interests converge across the markets, news, sports, and entertainment,” the company said.

Available in all 50 states through KalshiEX LLC, a regulated exchange, the Pro Football Championship event contract gives eligible customers the power to trade on the outcome of the big game.

Event contracts for the Pro Football Championship leverage the power and rigor of financial market structure to facilitate greater liquidity, transparency, and price discovery.

The Pro Football Championship event contract lets customers trade one of two different event contracts based on their prediction for “who will win” between Kansas City or Philadelphia. To participate, customers must download the latest version of the app, and apply and meet certain criteria to be approved for a RHD account.

Event contracts for the Pro Football Championship follows the launch of the Presidential Election Market last October, which enabled customers to trade event contracts through RHD based on their prediction for “who will win the 2024 presidential election.”
