Prediction market availability depends on each platform's regulatory structure. Kalshi operates as a CFTC-regulated designated contract market (DCM), meaning it falls under federal commodity trading law rather than state-level sports wagering rules. This gives Kalshi the broadest US footprint of any event contracts exchange.
DraftKings Predict and FanDuel Predicts are offered through existing state sports wagering licenses. Their availability in Washington, D.C. depends on whether the state has legalized and licensed sports prediction products.
Polymarket restricts access to US residents entirely. As a crypto-based platform, it operates outside the US regulatory framework. This page will be updated as the regulatory landscape evolves.
