[Kalshi Removes Affiliation Badge on X Platform Due to Stricter Promotion Rules] According to The Block, the prediction market platform Kalshi has removed affiliation badges from all its accounts on the X platform. This move stems from X platform's updated rules last week regarding paid partnerships and promotional content, aimed at restricting paid affiliation promotions related to gambling and sports betting content and strengthening disclosure regulations for such content. Kalshi's affiliated accounts previously used badges to indicate an official partnership with the platform, typically involving revenue-sharing arrangements. Multiple affiliated accounts have confirmed that the badges have been removed, with some accounts showing 'under review.' X's Head of Product, Nikita Bier, warned that accounts must disclose their paid promotional relationships with Kalshi, or they risk being banned. He stated that X must guard against content that 'distorts or contaminates' public discourse, as undisclosed commercial relationships undermine users' trust in authentic speech.
