My experience with Kalshi
I have a gambling problem, and I made the decision to take responsibility for it by deleting my Kalshi account, deleting the app, and unsubscribing from their mailing list. I took these steps because I genuinely want to move away from gambling and put myself in a better position.
Despite making these decisions, I am still constantly seeing advertisements for Kalshi and receiving communications from them. It is incredibly frustrating and discouraging to take steps to distance yourself from something you struggle with, only to continue being exposed to reminders and promotions for it.
For someone dealing with a gambling problem, this is more than just annoying advertising. It can be a genuine trigger and make it harder to maintain the boundaries you have worked to establish. Companies offering prediction markets and gambling-like products should take this seriously, especially when people are actively trying to disengage from their platforms.
I understand that advertising is part of running a business, but there should be a clear and effective way for people who have left the platform to stop receiving marketing and seeing targeted promotions. I hope Kalshi takes this feedback seriously and does more to respect the decisions of people who are trying to step away.
Deleting my account and unsubscribing should mean something. People trying to regain control over their relationship with gambling deserve better.

Deactivating an account unsubscribes it from Kalshi emails and push notifications. Kalshi ads come from the ad network of the app showing them, and the ad's "hide" or "not interested" option should stop them. Every trader has risk management tools they can use at their discretion, in the Responsible Trading section of their account.
Love betting on Kalshi BUT they wont let me withdrawal
I have not been able to withdrawal my money ever since I got the app and Kalshi support has done absolutely nothing to help me with the issue. I have contacted support over the past year and I still have not gotten an answer. I am always told the same generated answer that there are "restrictions" on my account and kalshi can't lift them. However, there is no communication as to what these restrictions are and what I need to do in order to fix this. Then they immediately end the conversation before I can even ask further questions. I'm extremely upset because I haven't really won that much money so majority of the money in the app is my own money that I deposited. And they are not withholding it. What's even crazier is that they still allow me to deposit money in from the same banks.
I would just like this issue fixed or communicated about what needs to be fixed.

This is not the support experience we want to offer. Kalshi is a federally regulated exchange overseen by the CFTC, and withdrawals go through the registered clearinghouse. If you message us in the app about your withdrawal, we'll review what happened with the rest of the team. - Kalshi Support
Hate it
This app keeps popping up everywhere with the smallest “x” button ever and ive had the app before, it sucks so much, genuinely I wish i could block this as an accessible app.

Nice app
Although I’m not really sure what I am doing. I do like the app.

Serious Identity Security Concern
I tried creating a Kalshi account for the first time, but after entering my Social Security number, I was told an account already existed under an email address I don’t recognize. I reported this as potential identity theft, but support only sent automated responses and has ignored my requests for an investigation. It’s extremely concerning that a platform handling sensitive personal information won’t address such a serious security issue.
