I'm leaving this one star review in hopes that it gets somebody's attention. In reality, I can't give this app an honest star rating because it's completely unusable. Like a lot of people, I'm visually impaired. Fortunately, I still have some vision, but everything is really blurry. I accommodate this by having my phone's text set to super-big. EXCEPT KALSHI COMPLETELY IGNORES THIS SYSTEM-WIDE SETTING AND INSTEAD USES THIS REALLY TINY TEXT IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO READ. Bad show, Kalshi.
two choices flush you money down the drain or burn it the go do something productive
only deposit method that works on the app include fees. always "crashes" for the free account link method.
Very bad experience, after betting $60.00 on a PSG win over Bayern Munich did not pay out. my winnings of about $195.00 USD. No explanation given.
I did the verification process to withdraw my only 14.05$ but it made me repeatedly do the process over and over again even tho it said I was correct
people insider trading will make thousands while you probably fail 98 bets in a row. y'know what their insider trading protection is? a little line under bets that says "insider trading not allowed" abusing the system is prevented with the equivalent of a "no running" sign at the pool.
I have tried to withdraw my money and it keeps saying that I need to verify and I have done this multiple times. live support sends me the same message from 4 different support people and as soon as they send that text they hurry and close out the chat so I cant respond. this is what they send everytime. Hi there,Our team has confirmed that your Kalshi account is fully verified and active. You should have complete access to all features on the platform. if it was fixed I wouldn't be messaging
forced updates for nothing new.
no customer support have me waiting for the past 5 days to get a response back and still waiting on them. I'm trying to get back to my account to cash out the money that I got there and leave poor communication
payment linking sucks. Plaid is awful, tried to link card and bank multiple times, bank and Plaid confirm connection, kalshi prompts to link bank still. feels like being pushing to funding methods that have fees. screw that.
App won't let me complete my profile. Won't send me the code to verify my phone number. Have to use Google to sign in, if I use my email, it tells me I have a duplicate account, have to use Google sign in. Hey, great app!! How are people making all this money when you can't even get past the login?!?
Do not use! this is a scam. bet on oil prices based on their "live" price tracker graph. according to the graph I won the bet. the next morning no money deposited, they tell me their live graph isn't actual oil prices, its a live graph from a different date!!! imagine a casino saying this? the live numbers you see are just live numbers from a different blackjack game. what the?!! filed a complaint with gambling commission but I doubt anything will be done.
Horrible customer service
do not waste your money on here. majority of people (like 95%) have lost hundreds if not thousands on apps like this. dont make this same mistake me and hundreds of other people have blindly handing your money over to kalshi.
7 day wait for support really bad they didn't even answer simple question after 7 days
Total scam. Take a sec and read the 1 star reviews AND the replies from Kalshi. You don't even need a whole working brain cell to know it's a scam. Why are these allowed to operate? Why is this even if l in the Google Play Store? 🤔🤐🤨
Every time Kalshi has a "maintenance" period; this platform becomes finicky an glitches tremendously; getting to yhe point where theres better platforms that dont give ya ghe issues that Kalshi is starting to have due to their over zealous "maintenance" ... trying to fix stuff thats good an doesn't need repair/optimi...... smh
I like it but I'm rating it a 2 because recently they scammed me due to a technical issue on their behalf update: there was something left open for betting after it already ended and it wasn't closed and I put my money into it and it wouldn't let me sell since it had already ended and took my money
