Mainland China is closed on Kalshi
A residential address in mainland China fails Kalshi KYC. This is not a grey area and not a «VPN until they notice» product. Kalshi is a US DCM. It is not a CSRC futures firm and not a payment institution under the PBOC.
CSRC supervises mainland securities and futures. The PBOC oversees payments. Kalshi is on neither mainland register.
Official site- WeChat Pay
- Alipay
- UnionPay
- mainland bank transfer
Not a mainland futures company
Nothing is opened at the CFFEX or at a domestic broker. The English Member Agreement is the document that refuses the address. A Chinese-language page on StartKalshi is a map, not a licence.
WeChat, Alipay and UnionPay never get a Kalshi SKU
Those rails clear renminbi inside the mainland circuit. They do not credit a US DCM you cannot join. A QR code labelled «Kalshi 充值» from a private WeChat is theft. We will not describe a dollar path from a mainland hukou.
Taiwan and Singapore are closed too
Chinese-language readers in those jurisdictions should read those country pages — also restricted — not treat this file as a Greater China how-to. Readers already legally resident in an open country should use that country’s page and the Chinese guides.
No 翻墙 onboarding
We do not publish exit-node recipes or US-address scripts. Frozen balances are the usual result. If the public list changes, kalshi.com updates first. StartKalshi is not Kalshi Inc.
Identity checks still run on kalshi.com. If that signup or deposit screen disagrees with this note, trust Kalshi. StartKalshi is not Kalshi Inc.
