EDGE Markets Partners With Splash Sports For $21 Million NFL Survivor Contest

EDGE Markets has partnered with Splash Sports to provide funding infrastructure for the sports gaming platform's $21 million guaranteed NFL Survivor contest.

The agreement will integrate EDGE Connect, the financial services company's private closed-loop settlement network, into Splash Sports. Eligible EDGE Boost customers will be able to fund their accounts with up to $1 million per day, with the companies targeting faster movement of money for players managing multiple contest entries.

Splash Sports' main 2026 NFL Survivor contest offers a guaranteed $21 million prize pool, with entries priced at $1,000 and players permitted to enter up to 150 times. The platform also operates a $3 million guaranteed contest alongside options starting from $5.

EDGE Connect Targets Faster Player Funding

EDGE Markets said its service provides higher daily funding limits and real-time movement of funds alongside dedicated accounts for gaming capital.

The company is positioning the product as an alternative to traditional payment methods that can be affected by transaction limits, fees and processing delays, particularly during nights and weekends. This could be significant for Splash Sports customers looking to move funds ahead of NFL games and weekly contest deadlines.

“Capital should move on the player's schedule, not the banks,” said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Markets.

“Splash Sports players are entering more lineups, trading stakes and racing Sunday deadlines, and EDGE gets them there with up to a million dollars a day, immediately.”

The integration also coincides with Splash Sports introducing additional features that could increase the frequency with which customers move funds throughout the NFL season.

Splash Sports Adds Marketplace And Team Entries

Splash Sports has introduced a Marketplace allowing customers to buy and sell stakes in contest entries, alongside Team Entries designed to enable groups to participate together.

TJ Ross, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Splash Sports, said the additional functionality meant customers were managing an increasing number of entries and transactions.

“Our players shouldn't have to wait on their bank to keep playing,” Ross said. “EDGE Markets makes sure the money moves just as fast as everything else we've built.”

Splash Sports becomes the latest gaming and prediction market platform to integrate EDGE Connect, following previous partnerships with Kalshi, Polymarket and ProphetX.

EDGE Markets Expands Prediction Market And Gaming Presence

The partnership follows EDGE Markets completing a $29 million Series A funding round led by CoinFund, with Indicator Ventures, Mantis VC, Stepstone Group and Bullpen Capital also participating.

The company said the investment will support further expansion across the gaming and prediction market sectors as it looks to increase adoption of its financial infrastructure.

EDGE Markets also claims to have processed more than $2 billion in transactions through EDGE Boost since the service launched, with the Splash Sports agreement extending its presence into high-value sports contests.
