Kalshi implements age verification and security measures on prediction market platform
Prediction market platform Kalshi announced new safeguards including barring minors from trading, requiring Face ID and two-factor authentication, and introducing deposit limit recommendations. The move follows regulatory pressure from U.S. senators and lawmakers who argue prediction markets resemble gambling. Kalshi users under 18 will still be able to view market data but cannot trade.
