For bettors in states without legal sports betting \u2014 Florida, California, Texas, Georgia and others \u2014 they are the cleanest legal route to trade on sports outcomes. With the domestic soccer and US sports calendar back in full swing this August, the Premier League and Europe&#8217;s top leagues under way and the MLB pennant races and NFL preseason ramping up, operators are competing hard for new traders on liquidity, fees and promo size.

A prediction market lets you trade yes\/no event contracts on the same outcomes (or on outcomes sportsbooks don&#8217;t price, like political events), with no built-in margin. The price you pay reflects the market&#8217;s aggregated probability assessment in cents on the dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three structural differences matter for US bettors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Legal access.<\/strong> Sportsbooks are licensed state by state and unavailable in around 20 US states. Kalshi operates under federal CFTC oversight and trades nationwide, though some states are contesting its sports event contracts. Polymarket also trades under CFTC oversight via QCX, in most states bar nine. ProphetX secured CFTC DCM and DCO approval in June 2026 and is moving off its sweepstakes framework; Novig operates under a peer-to-peer sweepstakes model; ForeGate is open to US users but not CFTC-regulated; Dabble runs as DFS in around 30 states.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Pricing structure.<\/strong> Sportsbook two-way markets carry overround (yes and no implied probabilities sum above 100%). Prediction-market and peer-to-peer two-way contracts sum to roughly 100\u00a2, with the remainder going to platform fees.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Tax treatment.<\/strong> Sportsbook winnings are reported as gambling income. CFTC-regulated prediction-market gains are generally treated as trading or investment income rather than gambling winnings, and platforms report them differently from a sportsbook. The rules are still developing, and sweepstakes and DFS earnings follow different ones again &mdash; consult a tax professional for your specific situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-event-contracts-work\">How event contracts work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pick a market.<\/strong> Example: &#8220;Will Real Madrid win the 2026 UEFA Champions League final?&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Read the price.<\/strong> A YES contract trades between $0 and $1. A price of $0.62 implies a 62% market-priced probability of the event occurring.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Buy or sell.<\/strong> If you think YES is undervalued, you buy at $0.62. If the event resolves YES, your contract pays $1. If NO, it pays $0.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Or trade out early.<\/strong> Sell your contract back into the market at the current price before resolution to lock in profit or limit loss.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Pay the fee.<\/strong> Most platforms charge a small percentage of net profits, not every trade &mdash; so you don&#8217;t pay anything if you don&#8217;t win.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-we-ranked-these-prediction-markets\">How we ranked these prediction markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Editors funded accounts where possible, traded across sports, politics and macro markets, and tracked execution quality, fees and withdrawal time. Liquidity scores are weighted by 2026 average daily volume in each category. We weight the criteria as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>US trading availability (25%)<\/strong> &mdash; can US users actually trade on the platform today?<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulation (20%)<\/strong> &mdash; federal CFTC oversight, regulatory clarity<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Market liquidity (20%)<\/strong> &mdash; bid-ask spreads on flagship events<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Fees and pricing (15%)<\/strong> &mdash; trading fees, withdrawal costs, no built-in overround<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Funding and withdrawal (10%)<\/strong> &mdash; payment methods, withdrawal speed, fiat vs crypto rails<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Product polish (10%)<\/strong> &mdash; app UX, order-book depth, market discovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A note on this month&#8217;s order: with the 2026 World Cup concluded, ForeGate returns to sixth on overall product strength. During the tournament we had temporarily bumped it up for its World Cup market depth and $1m prize pool, but that promotion has since closed and the ranking now reflects each platform on merit. The regulated pair of Kalshi and Polymarket stay clear of the field on trading availability, liquidity and regulatory standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-questions-about-prediction-markets\">Common questions about prediction markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which is the best prediction market for US sports?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><a href=\"\/us\/bet\/betting-sites\/kalshi\/\">Kalshi<\/a> is our pick for US sports specifically. It trades nationwide under CFTC oversight, funds via ACH and debit (no crypto required), and covers the major US leagues \u2014 NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL \u2014 plus soccer, tennis and golf. <a href=\"\/us\/bet\/betting-sites\/polymarket\/\">Polymarket<\/a> has deeper political and culture markets, while <a href=\"\/us\/bet\/betting-sites\/prophetx\/\">ProphetX<\/a> is a sport-only peer-to-peer exchange that secured CFTC DCM and DCO approval in June 2026.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are prediction markets legal in my state?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For CFTC-regulated platforms, largely yes. Kalshi trades nationwide as a CFTC Designated Contract Market, although several states have challenged its sports event contracts and the legal picture is still moving. Polymarket is also CFTC-regulated via its 2025 acquisition of QCX and is live for US trading in most states bar AZ, IL, MA, MD, MI, MT, NJ, NV and OH. ProphetX secured CFTC DCM and DCO approval in June 2026 after running under a sweepstakes framework in 40-plus states. ForeGate is open to US users but is not CFTC-regulated. Always check the platform&#8217;s current eligibility for your state before funding.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are prediction markets gambling?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Legally, no \u2014 at least for CFTC-regulated platforms. Kalshi operates as a CFTC-regulated commodity-exchange platform, with event contracts treated as derivatives rather than wagers. Polymarket follows the same regulatory category via QCX. Gains are generally treated as trading income rather than gambling winnings, though the tax treatment is still evolving. Sweepstakes-model platforms (Novig, and ProphetX during its transition) and DFS products (Dabble) operate under different legal frameworks.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-4\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I trade Polymarket in the US right now?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Following its 2025 QCX acquisition, Polymarket offers real-money event-contract trading to US users in most states, with the exception of Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada and Ohio. New users can claim a 100% deposit match up to $50 with code ACQUIRE05.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How does ProphetX differ from Kalshi and Polymarket?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">ProphetX is sports-only and runs on a peer-to-peer exchange model. Users back and lay outcomes against each other rather than against a house, with a Payout Adjustment Fee in the 2-3% range on net winnings. It launched under a sweepstakes framework and, in June 2026, secured CFTC Designated Contract Market and Derivatives Clearing Organization approval, putting it on a path to the same federal footing as Kalshi. Live in 40-plus states.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-6\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How does ForeGate work, and is it available in the US?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">ForeGate is an offshore, USDT-funded prediction market that is open to US users with a compatible crypto wallet. It is not CFTC-regulated, and funding is in USDT to a connected wallet rather than ACH or debit. New users can earn up to $500 in welcome-bonus value through task-based rewards. Its $1,000,000 World Cup prize pool ran through the 2026 tournament and has since closed.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-7\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make money on prediction markets?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">On platforms where you can currently trade \u2014 yes, profitability depends on finding mispriced outcomes and managing risk. The structural absence of overround means your edge does not need to overcome built-in bookmaker margin. That makes prediction markets attractive to bettors who model probabilities and look for divergence from market pricing. Past performance is not indicative of future results.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-8\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How are prediction-market gains taxed?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CFTC-regulated prediction-market gains are generally treated as trading or investment income rather than gambling winnings, but the treatment is still developing and platforms report differently. Sweepstakes platforms (Novig, and ProphetX during its transition) and DFS products (Dabble) follow different rules again. Consult a qualified tax professional for your specific situation.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-9\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Kalshi vs Polymarket: which should I use today?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both are now live for US real-money trading. Kalshi trades nationwide with fiat funding (ACH, debit). Polymarket is the global liquidity leader, funds in USDC, and is live across the US bar nine states \u2014 with a 100% deposit match up to $50 for new users (code ACQUIRE05). Pick Kalshi for state coverage and fiat funding; pick Polymarket for liquidity and market breadth. For a detailed side-by-side, see our <a href=\"\/us\/bet\/kalshi-vs-polymarket\/\">Kalshi vs Polymarket comparison<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-10\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I sign up for a prediction market?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Kalshi and Polymarket require 18+ with a legal US residential address in an eligible state. ProphetX sets the floor at 19 (21 in some states). ForeGate sign-up is open to US users with a compatible USDT wallet. Sign-up takes a few minutes: create an account, complete identity verification (a photo ID and a US address are typically required for CFTC-regulated platforms), and fund the account. Kalshi and ProphetX fund via ACH or debit; Polymarket funds in USDC; ForeGate funds in USDT.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Must be 18+ (21+ in some states).
