Updated Aug 7, 2026Frequently asked questions
Can I legally trade US sports outcomes without a sportsbook?
- Yes. Sports event contracts on federally-designated markets like Kalshi are traded under federal commodities law, so they are available in states where sportsbooks are not licensed.
How is a sports event contract priced?
- Each contract settles at $1 if the outcome happens and $0 if it does not, so a price of 38c is the market's read on a 38% chance. You can sell before settlement at the prevailing price.
Which venue has the deepest sports liquidity?
- Kalshi carries the broadest US league coverage and the deepest order books. Chalkboard is the specialist for player props; Novig and Sleeper suit peer-to-peer and social traders.
