Support is practically non-existent. I have not been able to access my account for almost 48 hrs. I've emailed support multiple times, reset my password, tried logging in via app and browser, and reinstalled app. Support got back to me on Sat saying it's fixed, but I still wasnt able to log in. I replied letting them know of continued issues, but they never responded nor did they give a clear reason why I'm locked out. Still no response to the additional support emails I've sent.

This app seemed great at first, but then I quickly learned the contracts are not very well written. The contracts are either very specific and/or poorly written to convey the actual message. In the comments some believe the contracts need to be written better and some believe the contracts are a play-on-words with room for the results swing one or another, and strictly dependent on Kalshi's decision. You can argue, but there is very little chance you will win. I the end, do not waste your money.

Hi, we understand contracts can sometimes seem complex at first. Taking a few extra moments to read through the full rules can help clarify how outcomes will be determined. You could also join our Discord community to discuss rules clarifications with other folks before trading a market. It's a great group to chat with.

Very hard to use, Hidden interface, Misleading contracts, prices change by sometimes 75%when purchasing without a notification, and last night the final straw, I purchased a No that automatically changed to yes on the confirmation screen and I didnt notice when confirming. this app is set up to deceive you and I have the screenshots and evidence and will be going to the pa attorney General. am I salty, No started with $20 now at $35. But they are scamming people. I should be at $45.

We'd like to look into what occurred with the order confirmation. Without more details about the specific markets and transactions, it's hard to provide insight here. Please email support@kalshi.com with a screenshot of this review and your screenshots so we can investigate further. Thanks
