Kalshi is no longer a US-only club.

For years Kalshi was the American answer to prediction markets: CFTC-regulated, KYC’d, funded in dollars. That is still the core. The map is not.

Applicants in 140+ countries can now join the same books as US traders. Germany, Brazil, Japan, and much of Latin America are on the open list. The UK, Canada, Australia, China, India, Switzerland, and sanctioned jurisdictions are not — India and Switzerland moved onto the Event-Contract restricted list in the 17 June 2026 Member Agreement.

Funding rails still follow the passport. ACH, PayPal, and Venmo are US-only. International desks lean on debit, wire, and crypto via ZeroHash. Check the live deposit screen in your account — it changes first.

Never spoof the geo. The Member Agreement is explicit. A VPN from a restricted country is how accounts get frozen with balances stuck.

Use the country checker on this site as a first pass, then confirm on kalshi.com before you send money.
