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 it is not considered appropriate to facilitate or approve an application by dealer members to trade these types of event contracts. To date, two CIRO dealer members have been authorized to facilitate the trading of a limited set of event contracts subject to terms and conditions set by CIRO in consultation with the CSA, and such activity may be subject to further restrictions or other changes in the future. Anyone trading or facilitating trading in event contracts that are securities or derivatives must follow applicable requirements under securities and derivatives legislation.
