Prediction markets

Event contracts are regulated federally by the CFTC rather than state by state, so a CFTC-designated exchange can be available where no state sportsbook licence exists. Availability still varies: individual exchanges apply their own geofences, and pending litigation has changed access in several states at short notice.

All 4 prediction markets we cover — Kalshi, Polymarket, ProphetX, OG Markets — are accessible from District of Columbia in our coverage as of the verification date above.

Availability changes quickly, especially for prediction markets. Confirm directly with the platform before signing up.
