Where a note comes from
Statutes. Regulator pages. What the operator publishes about who it takes. The trust strip’s short version is the same idea: state law, regulators, official resources. A Telegram crop, an affiliate blog, or “a guy on the app said” is not enough to paint California green.
Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, Crypto.com, FanDuel Predicts, DraftKings Predictions, OG.com, Fanatics Markets, Underdog, PredictIt, Novig, ProphetX, and Sporttrade can open or close a product without emailing us. When the sentence and the screen disagree, the screen is right. We owe the sentence a new date.
Why everything has an as-of
Access language goes stale. Dating it is how we let that happen in public instead of pretending the map is permanent. The strip and the footer carry September 17, 2026. Each of the fifty state guides, and the D.C. page, has its own as-of beside the availability prose. Platform pages put “Status as of” above the overview so the access note can’t float free. Learn pieces show published and updated dates. The sample cents in a market guide are teaching props tied to the site snapshot — not a live book.
We don’t silently backdate. If the facts move, the date moves with the sentence.
Status labels
Available, Restricted, Check status
Four colors, on purpose. Six would look more precise than the notes can support. Under the hood we still keep finer words (limited, pending, research) and fold them into Check status or No data so the legend stays honest.
- Available
Available. Regulated retail event contracts look broadly reachable on this snapshot. The venue’s own screen still decides tonight.
- Restricted
Restricted. A lot of the popular apps block residents, or limit them tightly.
- Check status
Check status. Limited, pending, or it depends which product you open.
- No data
No data / Uncertain. A spare, if we later have to pull a note. This snapshot labels all fifty states and the District of Columbia, which has its own page.
- Available
- Restricted
- Check status
- No data
Available is not “every product on every app.” Restricted is not “no event contract can ever exist.” Read the state guide. Then open the app. D.C. gets the same labels on its own page. The longer version is in the labels explainer.
Who gets a row on the board
The comparison board is a listing, not a store. Right now it holds 13 real brands: Kalshi, Polymarket, Robinhood, Crypto.com, FanDuel Predicts, DraftKings Predictions, OG.com, Fanatics Markets, Underdog, PredictIt, Novig, ProphetX, and Sporttrade. We won’t invent a composite to fill a hole, and we won’t invent a partner, affiliate, or endorsement relationship with any of them. Logos come from the operator’s public mark.
Each row shows a platform type, a settlement style, a pricing convention (cents / $0–$1, or cents-style probability), and a dated access snapshot. Platform types on this snapshot include regulated, research (PredictIt), and state-licensed. Sporttrade is the state-licensed name on the board, and it is not currently operating: wagering stopped on May 25, 2026. A platform type is a family. It is not a ranking.
We don’t scrape a live fee card. Those change, and we don’t run the venue. We don’t copy a FanDuel or DraftKings odds boost onto a Predicts or Predictions page. The sample Yes on a brand page is a teaching quote in cents — not a mid, not volume, not “smart money.”
Market guides
The eight category pages exist so you can learn the wording and the cents scale. Sample contracts are archetypes. They are not a claim that Kalshi or anyone else lists that exact question today, and they are not a “market favorite.”
Learn
The explainers are dated. They don’t become picks. The featured reading path is the order we’d hand someone who has never bought a contract. It is not a certificate.
What this site is not claiming
We don’t broker, clear, or route an order. We aren’t a partner of anyone named on the board. A map color is not a live API. A sample 54¢ is not a live price and not a recommendation. Nothing here is legal, tax, or investment advice.
No side. We date the snapshot.
Sourced from public filings, operator terms, and official materials — not from a partner desk.
