Read Full BioPolymarket announced on Tuesday that it had partnered with Palantir Technologies and TWG AI to build a new sports integrity platform. The announcement comes as prediction markets face increased scrutiny from state regulators over whether they have the tools to adequately police sports event contracts.
One of the main criticisms of prediction markets is that they lack the integrity controls required by state laws for licensed sportsbooks. In December 2025, Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection said prediction markets had “no integrity controls in place,” while in the lead-up to this year’s Super Bowl, New York Attorney General Letitia James warned the platforms “operate without consumer protections” and aren’t subject to regulatory review.
In the March 10 press release, Polymarket said the company’s integrity system will be built on the Vergence AI engine and used to detect, prevent, and report suspicious activity tied to sports contracts. Polymarket’s U.S.-facing platform is a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-regulated Designated Contract Market that lists contracts for sports and other events.
Speaking about the partnership, Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan said, “Our partnership with Palantir and TWG AI allows us to apply world-class analytics and monitoring to sports markets while building tools that can help leagues and teams maintain confidence in the games themselves. Our goal has always been to give fans new ways to engage with the sports they love while ensuring those markets can grow responsibly on a global scale.”
Palantir-TWG System Will Monitor Trading Before & After Settlement
Polymarket said the platform will monitor trading end to end, covering order flow, execution data, and settlement activity, with the Vergence AI engine expected to provide the prediction market with several layers of oversight, including:
- Anomaly Detection: The company will use the models to identify irregular market patterns, coordinated activity, and potential manipulation in near real time.
- Participant Screening: “Prohibited Trader Screening,” which uses relationship analysis to identify and block restricted participants from the markets, will be integrated into the platform.
- Operational Oversight: The platform will have a dedicated operations center to handle triage workflows, escalation protocols, and case management for flagged trades.
- Compliance Infrastructure: The generation of trade alerts, documentation, and supervisory records in support of enforcement and regulatory compliance will all be automated.
Prediction Markets Up Their Surveillance Game
While Polymarket’s announcement specifically speaks to sports integrity, its biggest competitor, Kalshi, has also taken an aggressive stance on market integrity and surveillance on its platform.
In March 2025, Kalshi announced it was partnering with IC360 to bring its integrity monitoring and ProhiBet services to its platform. In the press release, the exchange said that integrating IC360 into its compliance infrastructure would allow it to monitor prohibited bettors in real time. Polymarket also uses IC360 and Sportradar in its partnerships with the NHL and MLS.
Beyond sports, on February 5, Kalshi announced a major expansion of surveillance and enforcement on its platform. In a post on X, the company’s CEO, Tarek Mansour, outlined how Kalshi polices insider trading on its platform, pointing to its Poirot system, which monitors and flags suspicious trades in real time. Kalshi also appointed an independent surveillance advisory committee and partnered with Solidus Labs and Daniel Taylor, the director of the Wharton Forensic Analytics Lab.
