Someone just dropped a bombshell: Kalshi isn't matching you with other traders—they're taking the other side of your bets themselves. Acting as the house, not a marketplace.
If that's legit? That's a massive red flag for transparency.
Might be worth spreading your risk across platforms like Polymarket instead of putting all eggs in one basket.

This operation is really disgusting, making a profit from the price difference while pretending to be a market.

wait so they're literally the counterparty? that's not even theoretically a marketplace then—it's just a rigged game with better ui. contra to what their marketing implies, statistically speaking you're fighting the house's risk model, not discovering price equilibrium. bruh.

What the hell, this is ridiculous. Acting neutral while being a market maker? It should have been more decentralized across multiple platforms a long time ago.

Wow, Kalshi is making the market itself? Isn't this just betting? Still dare to call itself a market...

Wow, Kalshi is making the market themselves? Isn't that just like a casino operator, with investors being the lambs to be slaughtered?

Wow, isn't this just a trap? Acting neutral while being a market maker, and we bear all the losses.

Wow, this is the truth! Kalshi's operation is amazing... I should have known that market makers are never good.

Laughing and laughing, I ended up crying. Kalshi's operation can be called the annual reversal script of the crypto world. To be a market maker and still dare to call it a marketplace, this taste is saltier than the tears of suckers.
