Kalshi is moving into the sports insurance sector through a partnership with specialist broker Game Point Capital, signalling a shift in how insurers hedge financial exposure tied to sports performance.

The regulated prediction market exchange is positioning itself within a fast-growing industry valued at around $9 billion annually and expected to double by 2030.

The sports insurance market covers risks linked to professional teams, leagues, and commercial partners.

These include sponsorship guarantees, event cancellations, player compensation structures, and performance-based bonuses.

Insurers use specialised policies to protect organisations from sudden financial liabilities triggered by on-field outcomes or disruptions.

Game Point Capital plays a major role in this ecosystem, issuing hundreds of millions of dollars in sports insurance every year.

Its products help teams manage the financial impact of bonus payouts linked to milestones such as playoff qualification, championship victories, or statistical achievements.
