Looking for apps like Novig? Maybe you live in Arizona, Michigan or Nevada, where Novig isn’t offered, you’re under 21, or you want markets beyond sports. These are the main alternatives in 2026, what each is best for and who can use it, from each company’s own documentation and recent reporting, checked October 2026.
The short list
| Alternative | Best for | Regulation |
|---|---|---|
| Kalshi | Sports plus politics, economics and more; 18+ | CFTC designated contract market |
| Polymarket US | Polymarket’s markets in a US app | CFTC-regulated exchange |
| FanDuel Predicts | A sportsbook-style app | Joint venture with CME Group |
| DraftKings Predictions | DraftKings customers | DraftKings’ own exchange, DKeX |
| Underdog | Fantasy players | Its own exchange, bought in 2026 |
| Fanatics Markets | Fanatics customers | Broker; contracts on Crypto.com’s exchange |
| Crypto.com / OG | Sports and finance contracts | Crypto.com’s own CFTC-regulated exchange |
| Robinhood | Events next to your stocks | Broker routing to CFTC exchanges |
Every one of these lists sports contracts somewhere, but state court orders and lawsuits limit them in some states. Check each app for your state.
Kalshi: the broadest like-for-like
Kalshi holds the same CFTC licence as Novig and lists far more: sports, politics, economics, weather and culture. Its minimum age is 18, against Novig’s 21. It charges a taker fee on pre-game trades where Novig doesn’t. See Kalshi vs Novig.
Polymarket US
Polymarket’s CFTC-regulated US app, funded in dollars, with sports, politics, crypto and economics. Its standard taker fee is 0.0695 × price × (1 − price). See Polymarket vs Novig.
The sportsbook and fantasy brands
FanDuel, DraftKings, Fanatics and Underdog all run prediction apps now. FanDuel Predicts is built with CME Group and offers sports only in states without legal online sportsbooks. DraftKings has run its own exchange, DKeX, since June 2026. Fanatics Markets is a broker for contracts on Crypto.com’s exchange. Underdog bought an exchange in March 2026 and launched it in its app in July. Expect sportsbook-style design and sports-heavy menus.
Brokers: Robinhood and Crypto.com
Robinhood routes event contract orders to Kalshi and other exchanges from the same app as your stocks. Crypto.com lists sports and finance contracts on its own exchange and has a standalone app, OG. Both suit people who’d rather not open a new account.
