How it settles

World events and geopolitics markets on Sporttrade.

On Sporttrade, a world events and geopolitics market is a contract on a clearly defined question that settles against a written rule, the named source and date set before trading. A correct side pays one dollar and the other pays nothing, so the price between 1 and 99 cents reads as the implied probability.

Previously licensed under state gaming rules; has wound down online betting and is seeking federal approval, so the prediction-market form is in transition.

Always read the specific market's resolution rule, not the headline. Fees and spreads reduce real returns, and availability can change.

FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

Does Sporttrade offer world events or geopolitics markets?

No. Sporttrade is a sports trading exchange, and as of November 2025 it does not list world events or geopolitics markets. That is a matter of product scope, not a temporary outage. This is general information, not advice.

Why does Sporttrade only do sports?

Sporttrade is licensed and regulated as a sports betting exchange at the state level under gaming law. World event contracts sit under the federal commodities framework with a different regulator and rules, so a sports exchange does not simply extend to them.

Where do world event markets trade instead?

On federally regulated event contract exchanges overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, within the limits those rules set. Start with whether a given market is open to you on a venue you can lawfully use.

How are these prices read on the venues that list them?

A contract trades between one cent and ninety nine cents, and the price reads as the market implied probability of the outcome, not a guaranteed payout. Prices move as information changes and they can be wrong.

Where can I learn more about world event markets generally?

See the world events and geopolitics category guide for how these markets work across platforms, and the legality hub for where each platform is available to you.

Sources and where to check

These contracts trade on a regulated venue and settle against a written rule. Read the primary source and the specific market rule before you act.
