Research across prediction markets

PlayPicks is a Catena Media product that helps readers discover and compare prediction-market information.

Public research explains event contracts, venue differences, and the limits of market prices. The PlayPicks app is a separate product. Its prices are for information only, any paper activity is simulated, and real trading happens on external venues.

Editorial responsibility

Ian St. Clair writes our prediction-market research and Mike Epifani is the editor. Their profiles describe their professional backgrounds and link to their coverage. Read the editorial policy for the standards applied to sources, comparisons and corrections.

What you can research here

Use the product reviews to understand account structure and documented terms. Compare fees, funding and withdrawals across the same product types. Explore market topics for the specific measurements and source records behind a contract question.

Learning guides explain prices and settlement, while calculators expose the assumptions behind a scenario. The research section keeps unsupported outcomes and historical accuracy claims separate from documented observations.

Sources and citation

Read the editorial policy for our approach to evidence, commercial relationships, and corrections. Product-specific sources appear alongside the claims they support.

PlayPicks analysis is original synthesis. Linked provider documents remain the primary source for their own contract terms.

Important information

In the United States, certain event contracts are offered through Designated Contract Markets (DCMs) subject to oversight by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Regulatory arrangements and product availability differ between platforms and jurisdictions. CFTC oversight does not constitute approval or endorsement of any particular contract. Event contracts are derivatives products, not sports betting or gambling products, and are not licensed by any state gaming or gambling regulator.

Trading event contracts involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of the funds you use to trade. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Nothing on this page constitutes investment, trading, or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any contract. Content is for general informational purposes only.
