(AsiaGameHub) –   Kalshi is now the first platform to fully implement a national self-exclusion solution from IC360, representing a significant advancement for consumer safety within the prediction markets industry.

This integration, following a partnership revealed in March, brings IC360’s SelfExclude.io tool to market. The tool enables users to self-exclude from multiple platforms via one unified system. Kalshi is the initial adopter, with integrations for Polymarket, Robinhood, and ProphetX underway.

Scott Sadin, co-founder and co-CEO of IC360, applauded the initiative, saying he praised “the Kalshi team for prioritizing consumer protections and dedicating effort to make this feature accessible and seamless for their users.”

Establishing a unified self-exclusion program in the U.S. has long been difficult because of the country’s patchwork, state-level regulatory landscape, leading to varied player protection measures in different regions. Kalshi spokesperson Sara Slane called the integration a “major development,” noting that it underscores the “key benefit of a federal structure: the capacity to deliver uniform, countrywide consumer safeguards instead of depending on an inconsistent state-by-state approach.”

The SelfExclude.io tool functions through a voluntary sign-up process where users confirm their identity. Their information is subsequently encrypted and stored securely, permitting partner platforms to screen for matches on the exclusion list without handling raw personal data. Any matches result in automatic account limitations.

Sadin added that IC360 plans to grow the system, explaining the firm is dedicated to “enhancing the current hub with more tools that aim to have a real impact, and to inviting more platforms to join the network.”

Kalshi already provides in-house responsible trading features like deposit caps and a “Trading Break” function. Although some industry commentators have expressed worries about prediction platforms functioning beyond conventional gambling regulations, this integration supports CEO Tarek Mansour’s focus on user security.

Speaking earlier this year, Mansour said:

Every choice at Kalshi has been guided by that fundamental tenet, and our collaboration with IC360 is based on that conviction. We are thrilled to partner with them to help maintain our markets’ position as the benchmark for safety and integrity.
