Trading is for adults

Parents: help us keep it that way

Kids are resourceful. Some of them may attempt to use your name and identity to open a trading account.

Face ID to open

Face ID is required every time you open the Kalshi app. Only your face can open your account — if your child or someone else picks up your unlocked phone, they won’t have access.

Two-factor authentication

Even if someone knows your password, they’ll need your phone and access to your email to log in.

Selfie verification at signup

Sign-ups that trigger our risk checks are required to verify with a government ID and a live selfie before they are approved for an account.

Additional Safeguards

Responsible trading tools

Inner Circle

Family members and friends can ask traders to share their trading activity with them. It’s a built-in way to trade with accountability.

Proactive intervention

Traders showing patterns of risky trading receive direct outreach with suggested changes to help them slow down.
