Prediction markets: CSA and CIRO provide guidance on certain types of event contracts
Event contracts based on sports or entertainment events or outcomes should not be regulated within securities and derivatives legislation, and CIRO does not consider it appropriate to facilitate or approve an application by their dealer members to trade these types of contracts. To date, two CIRO dealer members have been authorized to facilitate the trading of a limited set of event contracts and must comply with certain terms and conditions set out by CIRO, in consultation with the CSA. Anyone trading, or facilitating trading, in event contracts that are securities or derivatives must follow applicable requirements under securities and derivatives legislation.
