FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

How do I find prediction markets on Robinhood?

Open the event contracts or prediction markets section inside the Robinhood app. You trade from your Robinhood cash balance, so fund the account the usual way first.

What does Robinhood charge for event contracts?

Robinhood adds a commission of one cent per contract per side. The contracts are KalshiEx products on a regulated exchange, where exchange level fees may also apply. Confirm the current terms in the app.

Are Robinhood event contracts the same as Kalshi?

The contracts are KalshiEx products listed on the same regulated exchange, presented inside Robinhood with its own interface and commission. The market catalog shown can differ from Kalshi's full list.

Is it available in my state?

Robinhood event contracts are offered to eligible US users subject to age and to the state rules on the underlying products. Availability varies by state and changes, so check the app and our legality pages.

Who regulates these contracts?

The underlying contracts are listed on KalshiEx, a CFTC regulated exchange. That oversight is meaningful but does not make any trade safe or any outcome certain.
