How prediction markets work
What are prediction markets?
Prediction markets let users buy and sell contracts tied to future outcomes. Prices can act like crowd forecasts because a contract trading at 64 cents implies the market is pricing that outcome near 64%, before fees and market frictions.
How to compare platforms
Use the filters to narrow platforms by U.S. availability, crypto funding, sports, elections, macro and finance, or AI markets. Then follow the platform links or supporting pages to compare a narrower use case.
Risks to understand
Prediction markets can involve total loss of the amount paid for a contract. Liquidity, fees, market rules, location restrictions, and resolution criteria all matter before opening a position. Must be 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
