Sites Where You Can Bet on the Election

• Kalshi -- bet here
• Robinhood
  
• PredictIt
• Interactive Brokers

Yes, it is legal to bet on Presidential Election odds in the United States thanks to a recent court ruling, which agreed with prediction site Kalshi that election odds should fall under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

As a result, Kalshi began offering election odds, and its competitors quickly followed suit.

In terms of where is best to bet, we find Robinhood to be a bit too complex, since it treats election odds like a financial derivative and requires users to opt-in to more advanced trading. Read our full comparison of Robinhood and Kalshi.

Interactive Brokers is not really a consumer platform.

Popular site Polymarket is not legal or regulated in the US.

And that leaves Kalshi and PredictIt. Both are good and will allow you to bet on the election, but Kalshi offers the more user-friendly interface and has been more popular in the run-up to the election.

Things To Consider When Betting on the President

• Trump's odds surged after podcaster Joe Rogan endorsed him in a post on social media site X
• There have been more last-minute searches for Harris' policies than Trump's-- whether that's an indication of more interest in Harris or her campaign doing a worse job of presenting its views is unclear
• Exit polls can be very misleading and have historically proved to be wrong, so be careful about betting on the election based on polling data
