Alternatives to Polymarket (US)

Polymarket's original international site is crypto-based and close-only for US users, so Americans can only open new trades on the CFTC-regulated Polymarket US app. That app lists Nevada as unavailable, and New York sued it on September 24, 2026. The alternatives below are CFTC-regulated exchanges or brokers, each with its own fees and state limits.

By the DFS Directory team. Checked Nov 2, 2026.

Our picks, and who each one suits

  1. Kalshi

    Kalshi is a CFTC exchange with taker fees almost identical to Polymarket US and more sports volume in Pew's count; its sports contracts are unavailable in Michigan, Nevada and Washington as of November 2, 2026.

  2. Robinhood Prediction Markets

    Robinhood sells contracts from four CFTC-regulated exchanges, including Kalshi, inside its brokerage app, with a commission capped at $0.01 per contract plus exchange fees.
