Partnering with The Lodge Card Club​

The Lodge Card Club is Texas' biggest room, and one of the largest in the U.S., with room for over 80 tables in a newly renovated social club. Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen are among the high-profile co-owners of the business, which operates a second location in San Antonio.

Inside that spacious Austin-area card room is a state-of-the-art livestream studio where daily low to high-stakes games take place on The Lodge's YouTube channel, which has nearly 240,000 subscribers. The games often feature some big name pros such as Polk, Nik Airball, or vloggers Ethan "Rampage" Yau and Corey Eyring.

Trading on The Lodge games at Kalshi isn't possible. But Kalshi, which is regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and available in most states, including the biggest ones — California, Texas, and Florida, has a wide-range of event contracts available for consumption. Only residents of Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, and Ohio are excluded.

Kalshi doesn't offer traditional sports betting, and instead is a federally regulated exchange for trading on the outcome of events, including sports, politics, poker, and even the weather.

The prediction markets platform offers yes/no contracts on various events, and the price of each contract is based on current market trends. The Lodge isn't the first livestream to partner with a prediction market platform. Hustler Casino Live recently struck a deal with Polymarket.
