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.

The split, in one line
The Washington Examiner and The Hill report Kalshi's compliance measures; Al Jazeera frames prediction markets as ethically contentious, citing a soldier charged over bets on Maduro's abduction and asking where is the line for disaster betting.
