Which account types and residency requirements are eligible for Event Contract trading?

To create an Event Contract account, you must first have either an Individual Cash or Individual Margin account. You can apply for an Event Contract account on any platform by following the instructions provided here.


What state and geographic restrictions apply to each market category?

Currently, sports-related Event Contracts are not available to residents of Nevada, Maryland, Connecticut, or Michigan. Availability of Event Contracts may be subject to additional geographic restrictions.


What requirements apply to financial professionals?

You should consult with your compliance officer to ensure you are able to. You can also contact us at futures@webull.com for additional information.


What exchange prohibitions apply to event participants, conflicts of interest, and nonpublic information?

Exchange rules prohibit trading in related Event Contracts if you:


  • Participate in or can influence the event’s outcome, such as an athlete, coach, referee, or other decision-maker.

  • Have a conflict of interest involving the event through your employment, role, or affiliation.

  • Have material nonpublic information, or information that is not publicly available and could significantly affect the contract’s price or outcome.

Clients who meet these criteria may still open an Event Contract account, provided they meet all other eligibility requirements. However, relevant or related markets will be restricted from trading.

How do I enable Voluntary Opt-Out?

Your Event Contract account is self-directed, and you may voluntarily restrict your ability to establish new Event Contract positions by enabling the Voluntary Opt-Out feature.

To enable Voluntary Opt-Out in the Webull mobile app:

Account → Select your Event Contract account → Menu (top right corner) → Voluntary Opt-Out → Select your desired restriction timeframe


What restriction periods are available, and can an opt-out be reversed?

You may choose to restrict yourself at any time for any reason. After the selection has been made and confirmed, it is permanent for the time period selected and cannot be reversed.


What happens to existing positions and pending orders during an opt-out?

After you restrict your account, you may close existing positions and modify or cancel existing orders. Existing orders to both close and open will remain, but you are unable to increase the quantity of opening orders.
