FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

Is the Kalshi app free?

Yes. The app is free to download on iPhone and Android. The cost you carry comes from the per contract trading fee and any deposit or payout fees on certain methods.

Do I have to verify my identity in the app?

Yes. Because Kalshi is overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, you sign up with an email and then submit a US government identity document and a selfie. Approval often completes within a few minutes.

Can I do everything in the app that I can on the website?

In practice yes. The app supports browsing, placing and cancelling orders, deposits, withdrawals, and portfolio management, with light and dark modes and push notifications.

Can I use the Kalshi app outside the United States?

Not generally. The app is built for verified US based users and is not usually offered to users abroad.

Where should I download it from?

Only from the official Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Avoid copies from anywhere else, and verify your eligibility before you fund an account.
