Availability in United States
Kalshi, Robinhood Prediction Markets and Polymarket's US product are all available nationwide as federally regulated derivatives. State-licensed sports exchanges such as Sporttrade operate only in the states where they hold a licence.
Regulation in United States
Event contracts are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as derivatives, not by state gambling regulators. That distinction is contested by several states, so the landscape can change - check each brand page for current status.
How prediction markets work here
Contracts settle at $1 or $0 and trade between 1c and 99c on a central limit order book, cleared through a registered clearing house.
Deposits and withdrawals
Bank transfer (ACH), debit card and Apple Pay are standard. Crypto funding is available on some venues.
