How we rank
- Why this order: this is a soccer site, so the sports-first exchange, ProphetX, comes first. Kalshi is second because it is the one platform we have tested hands-on from our own funded account. Polymarket US is third: it has the widest soccer catalog and a bonus for a $10 deposit. Novig is fourth: its exchange has been CFTC-designated since June 2026, but it only launched in August 2026 and we have not reviewed it in full. Rebet is last because it is a sweepstakes app, not an exchange.
- What we look at: regulation status (CFTC-designated exchanges sit above sweepstakes apps), sports focus, whether we have tested the platform ourselves, US availability (how many states, which devices), range of soccer markets, fees, deposits and withdrawals, and the sign-up offer.
- Who checked it: Catie Di Stefano. The Kalshi entry draws on our own funded Kalshi account, and the Kalshi and Polymarket reviews carry screenshots we took in the apps on 27 September 2026. We have not published hands-on tests of ProphetX, Novig or Rebet; those entries rely on each operator's published rules and offer terms.
- How we are paid: every platform on this list is an affiliate partner, and we may earn a referral fee if you sign up through our links, at no extra cost to you. Platforms we have no partnership with are not ranked here.
- Scores: the score on each review page rates that platform as a whole, for any kind of trader. The order here is for soccer fans, so the two can differ.
- Last checked: every entry was checked against our reviews and offer terms on October 1, 2026. Offers are for new users in eligible US states only.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better for soccer, Kalshi or Polymarket?
Kalshi is CFTC-regulated, USD-funded and available in 47 states plus D.C., which suits US traders who want a regulated venue. Polymarket has deeper liquidity on outrights, and its CFTC-regulated US app trades in dollars. Many traders use both and take whichever side is cheaper.
Where does ProphetX fit in?
ProphetX is first on our list: a sports-first, CFTC-licensed exchange live in 49 states + D.C. It prices soccer peer-to-peer with ~2% commission on net winnings and a taker-only fee on parlays (1-cent minimum per order) — the best pick for US sports traders who don't need politics or crypto markets.
Do prediction markets charge vig like a sportsbook?
Not in the same way. There is no built-in bookmaker margin; costs come from the bid-ask spread and, on Kalshi, a per-contract trading fee. ProphetX charges ~2% on net winnings only.
Can I use multiple platforms at once?
Yes. Holding accounts on two or more venues lets you compare the order books on the same match and take the better price.
Is trading prediction markets legal in the US?
Regulated event contracts are legal to trade on CFTC-designated venues, with state-level differences for other products. Always check your own state and age requirement — 21+ on the venues we cover.
