Kalshi: pricing and features

Prediction-market exchange

Check age, residency, local eligibility and the rules of each market before trading. CFTC regulation stated by Kalshi is not a claim of worldwide access or prop-firm approval.

Checks before use

Check age, residency, local eligibility and the rules of each market before trading. CFTC regulation stated by Kalshi is not a claim of worldwide access or prop-firm approval.

  1. Jurisdiction and eligibility. Confirm current regional access, account eligibility and legal treatment of the specific contract category. Do not infer access from the exchange's regulatory status alone.
  2. Settlement definitions. Read the contract's settlement source, deadline and outcome rules. A familiar event label is not enough.
  3. Fee and funding cost. Check market-specific multipliers and maker fees. The schedule lists card deposit fees up to 2% and possible crypto processor charges.
  4. Position risk. Event contracts can lose the amount committed. Keep this account and its risk budget separate from funded trading evaluations.
