Kalshi safeguards for young adults will include an initial $2,500 monthly deposit limit for traders aged 18 to 20, the prediction market platform said on October 27, 2026. The company also announced trading alerts for some new users and partnerships to produce guides for parents.

How Kalshi safeguards will work

New traders with balances above $1,000 will receive an alert if they allocate more than 25% of their funds to a single trade. The alert will encourage them to diversify. The company did not specify an implementation date for the measures.

Kalshi is available only to people aged 18 and older, co-founder and chief operating officer Luana Lopes Lara said. She said new traders need more education and safeguards.

Parent guides and prediction market risks

Kalshi also announced partnerships with Parent ProTech and ConnectSafely to publish parents’ guides to prediction markets.

The measures come ahead of the US midterm elections. Prediction markets let users wager on outcomes including elections and sports, but critics say the platforms resemble gambling and carry addiction risks.
