Kalshi: Trade Sports & Events revenue and downloads (estimated)

• Billing, refunds & cancelling49 reviews · 17%

  “Insurance. I believe if a player doesn’t play on the second half, you shouldn’t need insurance for this. It should be a given that you get a refund like most sportsbooks do.”

• Customer support32 reviews · 11%

  “Support non-existent. You better hope that you do not have any issues signing up for this app because they do not have any support line one cal call. I tried the text support that is supposed to be powered by AI and received no response in over 3 hours. I also emailed support and have not received a response. So basically, if you have any issues, you are just on your own, very poor customer service.”

  “Bad Interface. It’s really hard to get out of trades quickly. Also, the realtime results are very delayed. There are better apps out there.”

• Slow & laggy8 reviews · 3%

  “WARNING: SYSTEMIC EXPLOIT WARNING: Engineered Lag & Hidden Settings Do not download this app. . Kalshi is a highly optimized financial trap disguised as a fair prediction market. During peak trading hours, the backend infrastructure routinely suffers from massive server lag and "data loss events." When the market moves fast, the app completely freezes, rendering your cash-out buttons, stop-losses, and auto-sell settings totally non-functional. You are locked out of your money while institutional "whales" use high-speed API setups to clean out the market, using your frozen retail position as their exit liquidity. To ensure you can't report it, Kalshi's interface compresses your transaction history in the "closed positions" tab, merging individual trades to hide the exact millisecond the app lagged out. This completely erases your evidence, allowing their corrupt customer support teams to blame your internet connection and claim you just "lost the bet." They place instant Apple Pay buttons right on your main dashboard to capture your money with a single glance, but they intentionally bury the "Self-Exclusion" and responsible gambling tools deep within hidden sub-menus so you can't find the emergency brake when you are losing your livelihood. Their Terms of Service claim they have zero liability for server crashes, meaning they get rich off transaction fees and data selling while you absorb 100% of the cost of their broken tech. This app is currently being sued by state authorities (like the Utah Attorney General and NY Gaming Commission) for being a predatory public nuisance. Go to apple.com, file a formal complaint under Performance Guideline 2.1, and report other critical reviews to force Apple's safety team to audit Kalshi’s broken servers. Protect your family and delete this app. I have explicitly utilized self-exclusion tools to ban myself from Kalshi due to financial harm, yet the developer and its affiliated ad networks are utilizing cross-app data tracking to intentionally target my devices (including my Roku remote application) with predatory advertisements designed to trigger a relapse. This constitutes an unfair, abusive, and deceptive practice that actively targets a protected, self-excluded consumer profile.”

• Too expensive7 reviews · 2%

  “Bad ads. I use this app to place some bets every once in a while. It’s fine. I’m giving it a bad review due to the ads it shows on other apps. They are way longer than 30 secs and force the user to make AT LEAST 3 interactions with the ad. Ridiculous, greedy, gross.”

• Missing features & requests7 reviews · 2%

  “iPad. I absolutely love Kalshi! It’s one of my favorite apps, and I especially enjoy using it on my iPad. Before the latest update, the iPad app was fantastic. It had a beautiful, full-screen layout that made everything easy to see and navigate. But now? It’s basically turned into an iPhone app stretched onto an iPad. The interface is tiny, surrounded by wasted screen space, and the entire experience has gone from amazing to practically unusable. I don’t understand why you would take something that worked so well and completely ruin it. Please, PLEASE bring back the original iPad layout! Or at least develop a dedicated iPad version that actually takes advantage of the larger screen. I love Kalshi, but this update is a massive step backward. Please listen to your iPad users and fix this!”

• Crashes & freezes5 reviews · 2%

  “Way, WAY too Slow. Data is so, so slow that you will have a position for up all the way until well past the time expiring, data will show it is way up, only to find it crashed a minute or two beforehand and you lose everything. Could have sold at a profit but because they intentionally load the data extremly slow you lose. Garbage app”
