Figures are indicative and dated. Confirm the current terms on the platform before acting.
No. Prediction markets are a hub inside the main Robinhood app, so existing customers trade event contracts in the same place they hold other assets.

Reporting indicates the contracts are available to trade in all fifty states, while certain sports contracts were not available in a small number of states. Confirm the current position for your state inside the app before trading.
Robinhood launched the prediction markets hub in March 2025.
No. A simple interface lowers friction, not risk. Each contract can settle at zero and you can lose your whole stake.
This page describes Robinhood as we assess it. Platform mechanics, fees, and terms change, so verify the current detail before you rely on it.
