Gambling is a regulated industry. Kalshi is licensed in the US, Polymarket isn't (but US consumers routinely use VPNs to evade their block). So the fact that they're clearly marketing to US consumers seems to be fraudulent evasion of oversight.
Are they advertising to US consumers, or simply to the world? I think it's just a global ad campaign. I haven't tried it but I assume that they can just reject any US payment method and be fine. How else would you pay, Bitcoin?
As long as it's good clean betting, I don't think anyone should be restricted from this gambling in the land of the "free" anyway. It's also weird that Kalshi is approved and Polymarket isn't. I wonder why that is the case.
