On ForecastEx, a entertainment and awards market is a contract on a clearly defined question that settles against a written rule, the named source and date set before trading.

CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse owned by Interactive Brokers, very strong standing.

No. As of January 2026 ForecastEx does not list entertainment or awards contracts. Its menu centres on economics and climate, with a limited set of political questions. This is general information, not advice. Confirm the live menu on the platform before assuming anything.
Economic forecast contracts such as the Federal Funds rate, inflation, and labour data, climate indicators, and some political questions. Each contract settles at one dollar or zero based on the outcome.
