High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Intrade is an online trading exchange website. The website`s members bet on the outcomes of non-sports-related future events. Intrade was founded by John Delaney in 1999 and acquired by Tradesports in 2003. Dublin-based owner Trade Exchange Network Limited also operated TradeBetX.com, which focused on European interests. As of January 1, 2007, Trade Exchange Network divested its interests in Tradesports and TradeBetX.com to a newly formed company, TradeSports Ltd. These two websites offered only sports-related trading markets until they were closed in 2008, while Intrade.com continues to offer exclusively non-sports exchange markets (politics, finance, entertainment, current events, transportation, legal, weather, pop culture, etc.).
