Common questions

What is a prediction market?

A prediction market lets you trade contracts tied to real-world outcomes ("Will X happen?"). Prices reflect crowd probability estimates. Kalshi is CFTC-regulated in the US.

How do I make money on prediction markets?

Find mispriced probabilities — events where the market price diverges from your assessed probability. Research edge, not just luck.

Are prediction markets legal in the US?

Kalshi is federally regulated by the CFTC and fully legal. Polymarket is technically offshore but accessible to US users. Always check current regulations.
