## Real-Time Trading Meets Sports Fandom

Unlike traditional betting, sports event contracts trade like markets: prices move in real time, letting fans instantly express changing opinions during live games. Customers can buy, sell, and manage positions as plays unfold — whether it’s a last-minute touchdown or a walk-off home run.

> **“We were the first to offer sports event contracts, and our partnership with Underdog expands that vision. Now fans can experience trading, fantasy, and prediction markets seamlessly in one app.”**

## Why It Matters

This launch positions Underdog as the only U.S. operator offering **fantasy sports, sportsbook, and prediction markets under one roof**. With licenses in states nationwide and a strong focus on responsible gaming, the company says it will bring the same safeguards and player protections from its fantasy and betting products to its new prediction market feature.
