"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn. Kinda sad tbh. A Kalshi employee's message to a 15-year-old streamer illustrates the company's willingness to recruit underage users before legal concerns forced termination of the partnership."
"College campuses are the best place to spark new financial movements and will play a key role in bringing the next 100M users to prediction markets. Kalshi's now-deleted post demonstrates the company's strategic focus on college students as essential to its growth strategy."
"Polymarket has targeted college frats by offering to pay thousands of dollars for epic parties in exchange for signing up users. This aggressive recruitment tactic shows how prediction markets compete for young user acquisition through substantial financial incentives."
Kalshi, a prediction market platform, has been actively recruiting young users and college-aged social media creators through sponsorships and affiliate programs. The company signed a 15-year-old video game streamer but terminated the partnership after legal concerns about working with minors. Kalshi and competitor Polymarket have targeted college campuses by sponsoring student groups, offering prize money, and paying for fraternity events to drive user sign-ups. Despite claiming to have ended active partnerships with student groups, Kalshi continues recruiting young users as brand ambassadors. The company views college campuses as critical for attracting the next 100 million users to prediction markets.
