Opting out of event contracts

You have several options to limit or stop your event contract trading, from disabling sports prediction markets in the app to requesting a full self-exclusion.

Opt out of sports event contracts

You can control whether sports prediction markets are presented to you without disabling event contracts entirely. To manage your sports prediction markets settings:

  1. Go to Account (person icon) → Menu (3 bars)
  2. Select Investing
  3. Scroll down to Event contracts trading
  4. Select Event contract settings
  5. Toggle Hide sports prediction markets to off

The setting change may take up to 24 hours to take effect. You can still trade event contracts for sports events regardless of this setting.

If you disable sports prediction markets, your existing open positions remain open. They won't be automatically closed or settled. You'll need to either close them manually at the current market price or hold them until expiration.

Self-exclusion for responsible use

What self-exclusion means

Self-exclusion is a formal, account-level opt-out from all event contract trading. It's different from using the in-app toggle to disable sports prediction markets. The in-app toggle lets you turn sports prediction markets on and off. Self-exclusion is a more permanent restriction that requires contacting support.

How to request self-exclusion

To request self-exclusion, contact support. You can't complete self-exclusion through the in-app toggle alone.

Before your event-contract account can be fully disabled, you'll need to close any open event contract positions. Your event contract balance will transfer to your brokerage account after settlement is complete.

What happens after you request self-exclusion

After you request self-exclusion:

  • Your account will go through a review process
  • A short period applies before the restriction takes effect
  • Visibility of and the ability to trade in all prediction markets will be removed from your account
  • You won't be able to re-enable event contract trading without contacting support and requesting a review

If you're concerned about your relationship with event contract trading, support is available. You can reach the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-522-4700.

Disabling push notifications for event contracts

You can turn off event contract push notifications without disabling trading. Notifications are managed separately from your trading settings.

To manage event contract notifications:

  1. Go to Account (person icon)
  2. Select Notifications (bell icon)
  3. Select Event contracts
  4. Toggle the notification types you want to turn off
