B2B platform at the intersection of finance and gaming

BetEx is a B2B platform at the intersection of finance and gaming offering an interconnected, interoperable ecosystem for standardized Exchange Tradeable Bets (ETBs) placed at the state level and traded on a national closed-loop network.

ETBs are a form of prediction market with binary (Yes/No) contracts settling at a value between $0 and $1.00 or more depending on the Prop.

BetEx licenses its technology to sportsbooks to preserve the integrity of the state-regulated sports betting industry in the face of emerging federal prediction market encroachments by platforms such as Kalshi.

BetEx merges traditional sports betting with the sophistication of stock market–style trading by enabling bettors to place wagers with state-licensed sportsbooks and trading them on a multi-jurisdictional exchange.

BetEx is not a peer-to-peer betting exchange — it manages the matching engine layer of a multi-jurisdictional exchange for already-placed standardized Exchange Tradeable Bets (ETBs) offered by licensed operators integrating their wallets to the BetEx platform.

BetEx allows sportsbooks to offer loyalty points to their players for each ETB placed and traded, and empowers operators to offer standardized betting props while allowing bettors to sell their ETBs at competitive prices.

BetEx platform generates additional revenues for operators and the states beyond traditional sports betting offerings.

What We License

A multi-jurisdictional sports betting exchange for state-licensed operators to offer ETBs
A white-label B2B platform for casinos and sportsbooks to offer ETBs to their registered users

BetEx also introduces composite bets, which combine multiple events and — unlike Parlays — do not require the bettor to win every event to win the bet.

Similar to a stock exchange, the BetEx ecosystem operates a matching engine to process buy and sell orders, while casino operators manage customer funds, bets, and trade orders. Users leverage their sports knowledge and can become a bet trader!

Secondary Market for Bets

BetEx facilitates buy and sell orders while casino-operators handle cash and customer orders. What gets traded is an already-placed bet with a state-licensed operator — enabling bettors to exit positions before event completion.

A New Era of Sports Betting

BetEx allows sports bets to be traded on a national exchange at competitive prices, providing bettors with greater flexibility and market-driven odds. BetEx enables sportsbooks to offer exchange-tradeable bets (ETBs) through a standardized process.

Composite Bets

BetEx introduces Composite Bets covering multiple events across a period such as an entire season. The wisdom of the crowd trading on BetEx helps establish market prices as results of each event fluctuate from the expected outcome.

Creating a New Asset Class

BetEx is introducing ETBs to create a new asset class for bettors and investors to trade. Bookmakers and Market Makers can use this new asset class to minimize their risks on the outcome of a game.

BetEx vs. Kalshi

Why state-regulated sportsbooks need BetEx — not Kalshi

BetEx's model stands in stark contrast to Kalshi's, which operates a peer-to-peer sports wagering exchange using market makers as bookmakers — a structure that violates state laws and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Many states and Attorneys General are pursuing legal action against Kalshi for offering sports event contracts.

In 2020, Kalshi secured CFTC approval to facilitate trading of event-based futures, excluding politics and sports. However, Kalshi struggled with low volumes in traditional commodity and event-based markets. In 2024, it expanded into political betting, and in January 2025 it controversially introduced sports betting markets — directly conflicting with the Supreme Court's 2018 ruling overturning PASPA. This development faces significant legal challenges from states that generate billions in tax revenue from sports wagering.

Kalshi

  • Federally regulated (CFTC) — bypasses state licensing
  • Peer-to-peer sports wagering exchange model
  • Uses market makers as bookmakers
  • Violates state laws and IGRA
  • Facing legal action from multiple state AGs
  • Introduced sports markets in violation of PASPA precedent
  • Users trade against the market — not state-licensed operators

BetEx

  • Works within state-regulated sports betting frameworks
  • B2B exchange for licensed sportsbooks — not P2P
  • Bets placed with licensed state operators (LBSs)
  • Fully compliant with state and federal laws
  • Preserves state tax revenue streams
  • Supports existing sportsbook business models
  • Bettors trade through their licensed operator account

An Innovative Exchange

BetEx has developed an innovative exchange that enables licensed sportsbooks to offer Exchange Tradeable Bets (ETBs) to their customers while ensuring full compliance with state and federal laws. As a B2B provider, the platform creates Initial Prop Offerings (IPOs), allowing sportsbooks to offer these IPOs directly to their customers, adjust their initial pricings, and participate in the exchange to minimize their risks.

In 2025, over $150 billion was wagered across about forty states. BetEx believes if bettors are given the ability to sell their bets in an electronic auction-style market — similar to a stock exchange — wagering transaction volumes could increase as much as five-fold compared to the current market structure, where bets are treated as restricted binary assets with no liquidity.
