How it decides

on the list = open where you live · real or play money · venue · minimum deposit · app · API · markets | order = availability, then Editor Score

What each answer does

Where you live removes every platform whose own terms close it to residents of that country. A regulated exchange or broker that excludes only some states or products stays, marked as such; an offshore venue that is close-only for you does not. Where a platform’s terms do not settle your country, it stays at the end of the list with that caveat.

The other answers only narrow the list. A starting amount keeps platforms whose published minimum fits it, and those that publish none, marked as unknown. Markets keep platforms that list at least one of the categories you picked. Nothing moves a platform above a better-scored one.

Where the facts come from

Every fact is read from the record behind the platform’s review — its terms, fee schedule and app listings, each dated. The Editor Score combines nine published criteria; the methodology page sets out the weights.

Frequently asked questions

Which prediction market should I use?

The one that is open where you live, takes the kind of money you want to use and lists the markets you care about — then the best-scored of those. The finder applies exactly those tests to every platform we score.

Is the top result a recommendation to sign up?

No. It is the best-scored platform that fits your answers. Read its review, check the fees on the trade you have in mind, and trade only what you can afford to lose.

Why is a platform I know missing?

Either one of your answers rules it out — most often where you live — or we have not scored it yet. Unscored platforms are never ranked.

Not financial advice. These calculators do arithmetic on the numbers you enter; they do not know a platform’s current prices or whether it is open to you. Check both in the platform reviews.
