Prediction Market Compliance

CAD $299

Managing Risk, Integrity, and Participant Conduct

Prediction markets represent one of the most complex and rapidly evolving areas of financial crime and compliance. Sitting between gambling, financial markets, and information systems, these markets introduce unique risks that traditional compliance frameworks are not designed to address.

The Prediction Market Compliance course provides an examination of how these markets operate, where risks emerge, and how effective compliance frameworks can be designed and implemented.

Participants will develop a structured understanding of:

  • How prediction markets function at a technical and economic level

  • The intersection of market integrity, financial crime, and participant behavior

  • The impact of information asymmetry, outcome influence, and market design

  • The role of surveillance, governance, and enforcement frameworks
