They have somewhat reversed that stance since then. Insider trading is still rampant, but they have started cracking down on it publicly
Prediction markets are small enough still that I'm not as concerned about the insider trading. The very concerning insider trading is happening in the oil and stock markets
Just a two weeks ago billions of dollars was being moved minutes before a Trump tweet significantly shifted the market. [It was so much money you can see an obvious spike in volume, despite being some of the highest volume markets in the world](https://nypost.com/2026/03/24/business/580m-oil-trades-made-minutes-before-trumps-key-iran-announcement-draw-scrutiny/)
Blatantly obvious insider trading happening publicly, and within a couple weeks we're no longer hearing anything about it

I feel like we, the public, were kind of bamboozled.
Prior to legalized gambling the thought was that people are still gambling illegally. By not legalizing gambling all that was being accomplished was that gambling winnings were untaxed. Legalizing it would allow the states to get some extra income.
This sounded reasonable. I don't want the state imposing morales on the people. Adults should be able to decide if they gambled or not.

Why can't that apply to other companies? Does anyone actually go to their doctor and say "i saw a commercial for pills, I have no idea what they do but I really liked the sound of the mile long list of side effects"? Maybe we can ban alcohol and gambling ads too?

We banned gambling for a good reason. It's always been predatory and destructive to society. We just have a problem where we forget the lessons of the past for one reason or another.
So it was entirely predictable this happened. The existence of smart phones was the driving force behind investors spending so much to get these laws overturned. Smart phones really open up the potential addressable market.

No they f****** don’t. If there’s money to be made they’d allow it.

So... can't bet on the death/survival of one particular downed pilot who signed up knowing deployments were a possibility, but can bet on the start of a war that will kill many thousands of civilians, on the low end.

Apologize by deleting the app, and shuttering the business.

"It should not have been posted, and we are investigating how this slipped through our internal safeguards."
I bet their safeguards are a 2-nd year stem college intern working for on-the-job experience, and applying for other jobs while keeping an eye on 10 monitors on the wall.

People addicted to the vice of gambling have a moral compass that points one way that is related to money and not lives.

Why would it not be a legitimate thing to bet on?
It should honestly not be allowed for them to NOT take this action. Honestly, f*** them. Either it’s “trade on anything” or it’s not.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Polymarket’s eventual IPO is going to drastically improve this company by giving it a god damn conscience.

Every week they apologise for the same thing.
I don’t believe that these apologies are genuine.

F*** Polymarket for so many reasons. I look forward to the day this is federally illegal again. It’s such a corrupt industry.

It's funny how you apologize for something you should have never allowed in the beginning. Greed is a funny bedfellow. 🤣

Polymarket and Kalshi both have used a pedantic difference to be legalized and unregulated gambling.

We're sorry that we allowed someone to make this bet on our platform. It's incredibly insensitive to make us look bad while we swim piles of cash we made because of it....

Funny how all this corrupt degenerate society seemed to coincide with the start of trumps first term and seems to have gotten exponentially worse since the start of his second term. Almost like there’s a correlation
