Prediction markets: Kalshi and Polymarket US

Kalshi offers sports event contracts in Delaware to adults 18+. It is a federally regulated exchange (CFTC), not a state-licensed sportsbook, which is why it can operate alongside the sportsbooks.

Polymarket US, the CFTC-regulated app Polymarket launched in late 2025, lists Delaware as eligible; access is opening by waitlist. It is a separate order book from Polymarket’s international site, which does not serve US users.

How they differ from a sportsbook: you buy a contract that pays $1 if the outcome happens, priced in cents (58¢ is a 58% chance), from other traders rather than a bookmaker. Fees take the place of vig, the minimum age is 18 rather than 21, and the legal fight over sports contracts is still moving.
