Prediction Market Platforms Compared
13 real brands on one board. No composites. Nobody pays for the row. If two products share a clearinghouse, they still get two lines.
Related surfaces can share a clearinghouse and still be different products. OG.com, Crypto.com, and Fanatics Markets are listed separately on purpose. Adding another real brand is a catalog row — not a new page template.

— means we did not find it on the operator's own pages.
Fee schedules confirm on the operator. We don’t republish live prices — they change, and we don’t run the venue.
Read prices as cents first. Then open the matching state guide, a market category, or how prices work. Snapshot as of Oct 2026.
Public operator promotions — when we can verify them — live on the bonuses comparison. If a venue has no dated public offer, that page says so.

Exchanges the CFTC lists as designated
These are the designated contract markets on the CFTC’s own list, with the date the CFTC shows for each. Designation lets an exchange list contracts; it does not tell you which apps reach you or what your state allows.
