Prediction Markets Status (2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Prediction-market access in Massachusetts is restricted for sports. A court injunction blocks Kalshi from offering sports event contracts in the state, and Polymarket’s sports position is unclear \u2014 so we are not treating Massachusetts as open for sports trading.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is general information, not legal advice, and the picture is evolving \u2014 see the reviewed date below. For the platform detail, see our full Kalshi review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
