Daniel Negreanu announced a partnership with Kalshi and a giveaway of a package to WSOP Paradise

Legendary poker player Daniel Negreanu has started a partnership with the Kalshi platform and is giving away a $30,000 package to WSOP Paradise.

Daniel Negreanu announces new partnership with Kalshi and will raffle a $30,000 WSOP Paradise package Daniel Negreanu and Kalshi: details of the new partnership One of the world’s most famous poker players, eight-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu, has started working with Kalshi — the first regulated prediction exchange in the US, where users can trade contracts on the outcomes of real-world events. Kalshi operates under the supervision of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which sets it apart from other similar services. On Kalshi, you can make deals on the outcomes of events from a wide range of fields: sports, politics, economics, culture, and more. The platform’s core is trading simple “yes/no” contracts on whether a certain event will happen. For example, you can bet on whether Gavin Newsom will be the next Democratic candidate for US president. In an interview with PokerNews, Daniel Negreanu shared: “I’ve been waiting a long time to talk about this, as I’ve been playing on Kalshi for a while now. We discussed how I could help the platform grow. It’s really exciting — I follow the Kalshi markets every day, not for big money, but for the thrill. I usually bet $100 or $250, but I care about every outcome.” How prediction markets work on Kalshi Prediction markets are platforms where users trade contracts on future events. Each contract is a bet on whether an event will happen or not. For example: “Will Trump ban lab-grown meat by the end of the year?” — Negreanu bet “no,” but notes that he had to accept unfavorable odds. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, prediction markets: Aggregate the collective opinion of participants into a single contract price that reflects the probability of the event. Allow you to see real-time changes in market sentiment. Are often more accurate than polls, since participants risk their own money. Let you trade contracts before and during the event, reacting to any news. Negreanu gives an example: “In the first week of the NFL season, I bet on the Buffalo Bills against the Ravens. When the team was losing, I sold half my contract and got some money back. Then, when the Bills started to come back, I bought in again. In the end, I bought and sold several times, and when Buffalo won, I was happy, even though I didn’t win on the bet. It’s really exciting.” Importantly, Kalshi is not considered gambling in the legal sense, as it is a prediction market, not a sportsbook. Opportunities for poker players: prospects for poker markets Currently, Kalshi does not have poker-related markets, but Daniel Negreanu’s involvement may change that. He notes: “Poker players love to bet on all sorts of things, sometimes even quirky events. Kalshi already has many interesting markets, and I think poker ones will appear in the future. For example, you could create a market: ‘Will GGPoker beat the guarantee in the Super Main Event?’ — and bet ‘yes’ or ‘no’. It’s a great way to test your analytical skills and make money if your prediction is right.” Negreanu emphasizes: “I’m not a lawyer, but I’m sure there are many markets that could be created around poker. It’s a chance for players to show their ability to predict outcomes and make money doing it.” Advantages of Kalshi compared to sportsbooks Kalshi differs from traditional sportsbook platforms in several key ways: The platform is available in all 50 US states, including major markets like California, Texas, Florida, and Georgia. There are no extra fees, so the odds are better than at sportsbooks. You can trade contracts both before and during the event, watching market sentiment change. No win limits — successful players don’t face restrictions like they do at sportsbooks. Currently, Kalshi has over 1 million users and trading volume has exceeded $2 billion. This shows the high level of interest in the platform and its popularity among fans of predictions and analytics.
