Abstract

A majority of Vermonters have heard of prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, but very few state residents have actually participated in them. Vermonters believe it should be illegal to use prediction markets to bet on elections, the economy, or political events like war, but are split over whether it should be legal to use them to bet on sports or cultural events. A majority support further federal government regulation of prediction markets. Nearly half of Vermonters expect prediction markets to have a negative effect on the country over the next decade.
