Step 01

Browse and choose a market

Explore hundreds of markets across politics, finance, crypto, sports, weather, and more. Every market is a yes/no question about a future event.

Example: "Will the Fed cut rates in June 2025?"
Step 02

Buy YES or NO contracts

Each share costs between 1¢ and 99¢. The price reflects the market's belief that the event will happen. Buy YES if you think it will, NO if you think it won't.

If YES trades at 34¢, the market thinks there's a ~34% chance it happens.
Step 03

Trade before the market closes

Prices move as new information comes out. You can sell your position any time before resolution to lock in profits or cut losses.

You bought YES at 34c. Price moves to 50c. Sell for +47% profit.
Step 04

Collect $1 per winning share

When the event resolves, every winning contract pays out exactly $1. Losing contracts expire worth zero.

You hold 100 YES contracts. Event resolves YES. You get $100.

Pre-launch trading

Real-money prediction markets need licensing in every jurisdiction they serve. Until we're ready to clear that bar, Kalsshi runs without real-money deposits or withdrawals — so we can ship the product globally and you can experiment with the platform first.

Zero financial risk

Real-money deposits and withdrawals are not enabled. The platform settles inside your account balance.

Instant settlement

Winning contracts pay out the moment the market resolves.

Exit any time

Place a limit order or cancel any time before the market resolves.
