Kalshi removes affiliate badges from influencer accounts

Prediction market platform Kalshi has removed its affiliate badges from all partner accounts, The Block reported. The badges, small logos displayed next to an account's icon, identified influencers who had partnered with Kalshi to promote event contracts in exchange for a share of the revenue. The move is seen as a response to a recent policy change by X that restricts paid promotions for content related to gambling and sports betting. In contrast, competitor Polymarket continues to use similar badges.
