Kalshi might have just cleared the way to offer user-created parlays, self-certifying a new type of contract that includes multiple parts and payouts determined by multiplying the odds of each component of the bet.
The prediction market submitted a new contract, which appears to be designed for bets on multiple outcomes, to its regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), for self-certification Tuesday.
The contract’s title with the CFTC — “Will <outcomes> occur in <events>?” — is vague, even by the standard of self-certification filings that are based on a template.
However, elements of the filing suggest that the self-certification is meant to cover multi-leg bets.
