Kalshi & The Lodge Card Club Join Forces In New Partnership
Kalshi/The Lodge Card Club
Kalshi announced a new partnership with The Lodge Card Club, one of the country’s top venues to play poker.
This deal opens the door for poker players to wager on the outcomes of Poker at the Lodge livestreams without being in the game.
The Lodge Card Club: Background
The Lodge Card Club is located in Round Rock, Texas, about 25 minutes north of Austin.
The Lodge Card Club is described as being one of the top places to play poker, both in cash games and tournaments. After 2022’s renovations, the Lodge Card Club has 82 card tables.
All types of poker players flock to The Lodge Card Club. From low-stakes and high-rollers to tournament competitors and mixed-game fans, The Lodge is a poker fan’s dream.
The Lodge is owned by poker player Doug Polk and the vlogging duo of Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. The success of the Round Rock location led to the purchase of The Lodge Card Club San Antonio.
How will the Partnership with Kalshi work?
At The Lodge, there is a livestreaming studio where players come in and participate in high-stakes games. These competitions are broadcast on The Lodge’s YouTube channel.
The livestreams have included popular figures like Nik Ariball, Ethan Yau, and Corey Eyring. Polk has even appeared in some games.
Before Poker at the Lodge games begin, players can trade prediction contracts through Kalshi. These contracts revolve around potential results—the highest money-makers, who will lose the most money, etc.
By wagering through Kalshi, poker fans can profit from the game, even if they’re not sitting at the table.
Texas residents can bet on Poker at the Lodge livestreams through Kalshi. Additionally, residents of states where Kalshi is legal can also wager on the poker games. This excludes those residents located in Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, and Ohio.
The Rise of Prediction Markets
Prediction markets are only increasing in popularity with each passing month.
Many residents in states without legalized sports betting, including California, turn to federally regulated platforms like Kalshi to wager on the outcomes of poker, sports, entertainment, politics, and more.
Hustler Casino Live, another livestream operation that broadcasts games, partnered with Polymarket to offer betting action to those watching at home.
Many sports teams have partnered with prediction market platforms. The New York Rangers recently partnered with Polymarket, and the Chicago Blackhawks joined forces with Kalshi.
Expect this trend of partnerships between businesses and prediction market platforms to continue.
