Prediction markets: Kalshi and Polymarket US

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

Polymarket US, the CFTC-regulated app Polymarket launched in late 2025, lists New York 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.
