Prediction markets: Kalshi and Polymarket US

Kalshi’s sports contracts are contested in New Jersey: state regulators have challenged them, and reports on whether they are open to New Jersey users disagree. Check Kalshi’s app for your account before counting on it.

Polymarket US blocks its sports markets for users in New Jersey, though other markets may be open. Polymarket’s international site 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.
