Polymarket is preparing an artificial intelligence monitoring system designed to track integrity risks in sports prediction markets. Company leadership says advanced analytics could improve oversight as trading tied to sports events expands.

Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan said the goal is to rebuild integrity monitoring using modern data infrastructure. The company announced a partnership with Palantir and TWG AI to develop the platform.
Coplan argues state regulated sportsbook monitoring creates fragmented oversight across dozens of jurisdictions.
“Today, in the state-by-state regulatory framework, leagues have limited visibility into what’s happening in their markets, fragmented tooling, and have to choreograph their compliance desires across dozens of state regulators with no unified standard,” Coplan said on X. “Additionally, the technology being used is rudimentary compared to what’s actually possible.”
The AI system will provide sports leagues and teams with tools designed to detect unusual trading patterns and identify suspicious activity.
“Palantir’s anomaly detection and data integration is second to none,” Coplan said. “TWG AI brings deep financial infrastructure and sports expertise, and is owned by TWG, which has ownership stakes in the Lakers, Dodgers, Chelsea, and more. These are the right partners to build something that actually holds up and gets adoption – utilizing our collective domain expertise to build a solution specifically suited for the risk profile of sports markets.”
Planned features include real time manipulation risk detection, trade monitoring, screening for prohibited traders, and automated alerts tied to unusual activity.
Traditional sports betting monitoring relies on third party integrity firms that flag suspicious wagers for sportsbooks and leagues. Each state regulator follows different procedures, creating uneven oversight.
Prediction markets operate under federal regulation through the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Sports event contracts became available nationwide during early 2025 and quickly attracted attention from regulators and sports organizations.
Major leagues have approached prediction markets cautiously, although some organizations have asked the CFTC to create a clear regulatory framework.
“If we do this right, our hope is its use will extend beyond sports prediction markets and be valuable to all stakeholders in the sports ecosystem,” Coplan said.
