Prediction Market Legality by State — What You Need to Know
The regulatory landscape for prediction markets in the United States is evolving rapidly. Kalshi, the CFTC-regulated event contracts exchange, operates under federal commodity trading law, which means it is broadly available across most US states without requiring individual state-level sports betting licenses. This is a structural advantage over sportsbook-style prediction products.
DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts piggyback on existing sports betting licenses held by their parent companies. This means they are only available in states where DFS operators have received sports wagering approval — a smaller footprint than Kalshi but one that includes many of the largest US sports betting markets like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.
Polymarket remains restricted to US users entirely. As a decentralized, crypto-based prediction market, it operates in a regulatory gray zone and has previously faced CFTC scrutiny. US residents trading on Polymarket do so at their own legal risk. This map will be updated as the regulatory landscape shifts.
