WTOP15 sounds like a scam lol
So it’s like bet money for free if you’re a new user? But you gotta deposit $1 and then do $10 in trades… that’s not really “free.” Still, I guess it’s cool for World Cup nerds.
Wait they’re giving a bonus for predicting matches like Portugal vs Congo DR and stuff? I thought Kalshi was stocks/crypto not betting. Also draw at the end of regulation?? like if it goes to extra time it doesn’t count? That’s dumb.
I don’t get why WTOP is involved… like is WTOP paying Kalshi or what. And it says available in all 50 states but only 18+. So my cousin in college can’t use it even though he watches every game. Also the odds showing 73% for Portugal makes me think they’re cheating or something? probably not but idk.
