    Interface is a little kludgy but I figured it out. SPX bet for tomorrow's close. They are a forum sponsor and clicked on the sponsor link in Economics.

    Banking via Plaid was laggy. I hope that gets worked out. Checking the account on the Z Fold4 was also a bit laggy when checking the activity tab.

    So far my workflow has been: login -> mkts -> cadence -> daily, weekly.

    I would hope that they will offer some true digitals beyond the range-bets offered (pick-'em ATM, range of deltas/probs up and down).

    They have a range of products; fi, political, econ, weather. All are digitals/range binaries.

    Path-dependent stuff would be fantastic. Touches, DNTs. Obviously far more complex with quoting, etc.

    Looking interesting (less noise), but closed to non-US for now.

    The pol-offerings have been helpful to me in pricing listed vol-products. I bought 12 June VX outright based in part on their debt-ceiling digital pricing. I am not up to speed on the shut down dates so it helped to see the 42/100 figure on an July 1 signing. I upped my VX size as a result. Lots of utility there with respect to Fed meets, etc.

    I didn't love Kalshi's range bets. I prefer the simpler yes/no stuff from CME event contracts.

    When it comes to betting the house always wins.
    The odds of the broker winning your money are greater than the odds of you winning the broker's money.

    Hey Tony, we're an exchange so you're not trading against us, you're trading against other traders. There's no losing or winning money from Kalshi, just from other users. Hope this helps!
