It should be possible to access the markets legally from within the US.

"Who will win the 2024 US presidential election?", "Who will be POTUS on 2025/1/21?" and similar would count. Markets about Congress wouldn't count.

ForecastEx went live a few months ago but hasn’t listed presidential election markets yet as of Sep 13, 2024.

EDIT Sept 14, 2024: the market should be continuously available in the US for ≥1 week (not counting technical issues like a server outage)". (This will keep the same criteria as the Kalshi market).

Received this email two hours ago confirming they will be launching a presidential market "pending regulatory acceptance".

What will you resolve if they launch the presidential market for brief period but have to withdraw or pause trading because of court rulings?

@PlainBG I’ll use the same criteria as the Kalshi market -

"the market should be continuously available in the US for ≥1 week (not counting technical issues like a server outage)".

Huge spread between the likelihood of the IBKR presidential election market and the Kalshi one
