Gaming Edge’s TL;DR
- Kalshi has introduced new market integrity tools designed to help users spot potentially manipulable markets and report suspicious activity.
Prediction market company Kalshi added integrity tools on June 11, creating a new layer of consumer-facing protections and responsible gambling resources to its US-facing prediction market platform.
The move also follows recent account security updates, including Face ID and two-factor authentication for some users.
Three new RG tools
Kalshi’s latest integrity update centers on three new responsible gambling tools:
- Risk scoring for markets
- Possible employment verification for some higher-risk markets
- An in-app whistleblower reporting feature
The risk scoring system is meant to warn users when a market may be more susceptible to manipulation or insider trading. In some higher-risk markets, users may also be asked to submit employment information to Kalshi’s integrity team.
Kalshi said its reporting tools are now available across every market on the platform. In an official statement, the company said:
“Every market on Kalshi has reporting tools for users to submit whistleblower tips. These tips go straight to our surveillance team, which monitors the feed 24/7.
“Additionally, we have built internal alerting controls to receive and handle whistleblower tips we receive from our traders. If you see suspicious activity on the platform, report it.”
Kalshi Head of Enforcement Robert J. DeNault described the broader purpose behind the changes, saying market integrity “is more than just a lofty goal for us. It’s the reason we collect identification info from every trader, why we surveil our markets 24/7, and why we continue to expand our capabilities to prevent, detect, and punish misconduct.”
He added that “the work is never done, but we are proud to mark yet another big step today in leading the prediction market industry on the issue of integrity.”
Users can report suspicions
Risk scoring could give traders more context before entering a market, especially where manipulation or insider-trading concerns may be higher.
The possible use of employment verification is also notable. While Kalshi has not detailed which markets will require it, the measure suggests that access to certain higher-risk markets may come with added scrutiny.
The in-app reporting feature may be the most visible change for everyday users. It gives traders a direct way to flag suspicious activity to Kalshi’s surveillance team rather than relying only on internal monitoring.
More details coming?
Several details remain unclear, including which specific markets will receive risk scores, what thresholds could trigger employment verification, and how often a market’s risk level may be reassessed.
Even with those open questions, the direction is clear: prediction market platforms are putting more emphasis on surveillance, verification, and user reporting tools. Kalshi’s update shows how consumer protection features are becoming a bigger part of the platform experience, not just a back-end compliance function.
