      You can also bet on stuff that nobody has insider information on. You know, if you’re an adult and you’re capable of judging your own risk tolerance.

        I admit I’ve been a bit curious since I’ve been hearing about it so goddamn much recently it seems.

        Can I use this with a desktop/browser or is it phone/app only?

          Both I think. Idk I’m on kalshi because polymarket is technically banned in the US and I can’t be bothered with crypto. The second polymarket has a market on some variation of ‘Trump dies of natural causes before leaving office by other means’ I’ll consider the hoops worth jumping through.
