These apps are available to eligible California residents (court disputes pending over sports contracts). The platforms' minimum age is 18; we recommend 21+. Trading involves risk; you can lose what you put in.
How an election contract settles
A "Yes" contract on the winner pays $1 when the market's settlement source confirms the result; the other side pays $0. In California, some markets wait for certification, which can take weeks.
