A dated guide to Sporttrade from New Hampshire: why the exchange has closed its betting product, where its federally regulated prediction market plan stands, and what a New Hampshire reader can use now. Information, not advice.
Last reviewed 14 June 2026 · Status as of June 2026 · Information, not legal advice
Sporttrade ran its sports trading exchange under state gaming licences, but never in New Hampshire, where mobile sports betting runs through a single state contracted operator. In May 2026 it announced it would leave United States online sports betting, ending wagering in its licensed states by 26 June 2026. It has filed to run a prediction market under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, yet that product is not live, so a New Hampshire resident has nothing to use today.
As of June 2026 the answer is no. Sporttrade has exited United States online sports betting, closing operations in its licensed states by 26 June 2026, and it never operated in New Hampshire. It filed applications with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in February 2026 to run a prediction market, and that review is still open, so no Sporttrade product is available to New Hampshire residents now. Confirm the current position before you act.
New Hampshire runs its mobile sports betting through a single state contracted operator selected by the state lottery, which leaves no room for an exchange style competitor like Sporttrade. So Sporttrade was never available to New Hampshire residents, and that was true before the company changed direction.
In May 2026 Sporttrade announced it would exit United States online sports betting, with wagering in its licensed states ending on 25 May 2026 and all betting operations finishing by 26 June 2026, as reported across the industry. It then filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in February 2026 to operate a prediction market as a Designated Contract Market and a clearing organization. The review remained open as of June 2026, and approvals of this type can take well beyond a period of 180 days.
For a New Hampshire reader the conclusion is that there is no Sporttrade product to use, now or previously. If you want exposure to event contracts through a federally regulated venue, the platforms below are generally available to verified United States residents, subject to age and identity verification and any product level state limits. Read our New Hampshire legality guide for the state framework, and view any future Sporttrade launch as conditional on a federal approval that has not yet been granted.
Availability is indicative and individual states may restrict specific products, sports event contracts in particular. Scores are illustrative editorial examples. Sporttrade is not among the venues open to you here today. Confirm the current position before acting.
A clear regulator does not make any contract safe to over trade. Prediction markets and event contracts can lose you money. Trade only what you can afford to lose, never to chase a loss, and never with borrowed money. If it stops feeling like a choice, step back. In the United States you can call or text 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org. You must be 18+ or the legal age in your region.
No, as of June 2026. New Hampshire runs mobile sports betting through a single state contracted operator, and Sporttrade was never a licensee. Sporttrade has also left United States online sports betting entirely, and its prediction market product is pending federal approval and not live.
No. Sporttrade operated in a small group of states such as New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa and Virginia, not New Hampshire. It announced its exit from United States online sports betting in May 2026, ending operations by 26 June 2026.
Possibly, but it is not decided. Sporttrade filed applications with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in February 2026, and the review was still open as of June 2026. Approval is not guaranteed, and no product is live.
Federally regulated venues such as Kalshi and ForecastEx are generally open to verified United States residents, subject to age and identity checks and any limits on specific products. Confirm the current position on each platform and read our New Hampshire legality guide first.
The position above rests on Sporttrade's own exit from United States sports betting, its pending application to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the state framework. Confirm it yourself before you act, because the rules change.
