Where to Bet: Presidential Election Betting Sites
Where to Bet in the U.S.
U.S. election betting is expressly forbidden all of the best sports betting sites, but betting exchanges and prediction market operators like Kalshi, Robinhood and PredictIt are allowed to offer opportunities for bettors to lay money on election-related outcomes.
Polymarket is another renowned prediction site offering bettors a route to election betting, but it does not operate in the U.S. at present.
Where to Bet in Canada
Ontario is the only Canadian province with a fully regulated sports betting environment at the moment – and unlike their American brethren, Ontarians can legally wager on a wide assortment of U.S. election markets.
Among the secondary markets offered by Ontario sports betting sites like DraftKings, FanDuel and bet365 are Electoral College results, winning candidate by state, and total vote range.
Where to Bet in the UK
Like Ontario-based bettors, UK punters have a fully legal path to U.S. presidential wagering.
Both UK sports betting sites and regulated exchanges take wagers on a variety of primary and secondary election markets.
