How do you score prediction market platforms?
Each platform is scored on fees, market depth, Texas availability, funding and withdrawals, and app usability, using the platforms' published terms and our own checks rather than marketing material.
Which prediction market is best for Texans?
Kalshi scores highest overall for Texans because it is CFTC-regulated, accepts USD bank funding, and covers sports, politics, weather and ERCOT markets. Polymarket US suits traders who want deeper political markets.
Are these platforms legal in Texas?
Yes, they are available. Kalshi, Polymarket US and OG by Crypto.com are CFTC-regulated exchanges that accept Texans (status: Available, as of October 3, 2026). Texas has not acted against them, though courts elsewhere are still deciding whether state gambling law can apply to sports contracts.
Do the reviews change because of affiliate commissions?
No. Commissions are disclosed and are paid on sign-ups only; scores are set from testing data before any commercial terms are considered.
