  I’m paywalled on the article but I think the issue is specifically with Polymarket hiring US influencers when they aren’t allowed to let Americans trade on the platform. Kalshi is allowed to let Americans trade so it’s not an issue (assuming they follow disclosure requirements etc.)

    Considering that US influencers can reach the world, it's not a problem. I mean, if US persons are blocked from the platform anyway, why does it matter that the platform is advertised online?

  Gambling is a regulated industry. Kalshi is licensed in the US, Polymarket isn't (but US consumers routinely use VPNs to evade their block). So the fact that they're clearly marketing to US consumers seems to be fraudulent evasion of oversight.

    Are they advertising to US consumers, or simply to the world? I think it's just a global ad campaign. I haven't tried it but I assume that they can just reject any US payment method and be fine. How else would you pay, Bitcoin? As long as it's good clean betting, I don't think anyone should be restricted from this gambling in the land of the "free" anyway. It's also weird that Kalshi is approved and Polymarket isn't. I wonder why that is the case.
