  • MLB named Polymarket its exclusive prediction market partner.
  • The professional league and the CFTC also signed an MOU to discuss how to maintain the integrity of the game and prediction markets.


Major League Baseball has both struck a deal with Polymarket and agreed to cooperate with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on maintaining the integrity of the game.

"We're honored to announce MLB has named Polymarket as their Exclusive Prediction Market Exchange Partner," the crypto-based betting platform posted to social media on Thursday.

Under the new licensing deal, Polymarket will have exclusive access to the baseball league's data and iconography. Additionally, the prediction market and MLB "will work together to restrict markets that present an integrity risk — including individual pitches, manager decisions, and umpire performance," according to Polymarket.

What does exclusive partner even mean? Every other prediction market will have MLB markets as well. This just means polymarket and MLB will have a data sharing agreement?
