Soccer Club Places Huge Kalshi Bet Against Itself

Futurism | Score: 0.35 | neutral | Published: 15:17 Jun 08, 2026 (Eastern)

An unnamed Spanish soccer club used the prediction market Kalshi to place a multimillion-dollar hedge against its own potential relegation from La Liga. The club utilized sports insurance broker Game Point Capital and an intermediary firm to execute the bet, which was intended to offset lost broadcast revenue in the event of demotion. The club successfully avoided relegation, while the trading firm Susquehanna won over $1 million on the opposing side of the wager. The arrangement has drawn attention amid increasing scrutiny of prediction markets and their regulatory status in jurisdictions like Spain, where authorities have recently moved to temporarily ban platforms like Kalshi for operating without a license.
