Kalshi's taker fee is 0.07 × contracts × price × (1 − price), times the series multiplier (1 by default) and rounded up to the next cent, so it peaks at 1.75¢ per contract at a 50¢ price. Resting (maker) orders are free on standard series and pay a fee only on the series Kalshi lists with maker fees.
Country-by-country rules, regulator actions and sources for Polymarket and Kalshi.
This is not legal advice, and we don't say whether trading is legal for you in Singapore. We report what each platform's published rules say about Singapore and the public regulator, court and police actions we could source, each with a date. Those rules change fast, so check the platform's current terms and the law in Singapore before doing anything. ‘Not listed’ only means a platform's own list doesn't name Singapore; it doesn't mean trading there is permitted.
Status under each platform's own published rules, and the most recent public action we could source, as of 2026-09-24.

Dated public actions on record: 2
This page keeps two things apart for Singapore: what each platform's own published rules say, and what regulators, courts and police in Singapore have publicly done. A platform's list is its own policy and a government order is the government's, so a country can be on one and not the other.
The status labels are the same as in the main table. Restricted means the platform's own list blocks trading from Singapore. Close-only means existing users there can close positions but can't open new ones. Some regions means only named regions are restricted. Separate product means residents use a different, separately regulated product, as US residents do with the Polymarket US app. Not listed means the platform's published list doesn't name Singapore; that is not the same as permitted, and a regulator may still block the site.
Polymarket publishes two official lists that don't fully match: its Help Center page (updated August 14, 2026) and its developer docs (undated). We follow the dated Help Center list and say where the developer docs differ. Kalshi statuses follow its Member Agreement as fetched on September 24, 2026; the agreement itself is undated.
Each action shows the authority as it names itself, what it did, the platform it concerns and the date: the date of the action where it was published, otherwise the date it was first reported. Every entry is marked Official, Platform document or Secondary report. Where only secondary reporting exists, we say ‘reported by’ and name the outlet; where official sources conflict, we report both.
‘No public action found’ means our searches found none, not that none exists. Nothing on this page says whether trading is legal for you: for that, check the platforms' current terms and the law in Singapore.
Polymarket's Help Center page on geographic restrictions (updated August 14, 2026) names Singapore twice: among the 39 countries where it says trading is blocked, and in the close-only group with Poland, Thailand and Taiwan, where ‘users may close their existing positions but cannot open new ones’. Its developer docs (undated) also put Singapore in the group that is close-only on both the website and the API. Because the Help Center's own Singapore-specific wording and the developer docs agree on close-only, the main table shows Singapore as close-only; we record that the same Help Center page also lists it as blocked.
In practice the platform rule is not the only layer. Since December 2024 polymarket.com has been blocked at Singapore internet providers, and visitors see an official notice instead of the site; casino.guru reproduced its wording on January 14, 2025: ‘You have attempted to access an illegal gambling site hosted by an unlicensed gambling service provider. Singapore Pools is the only licensed online gambling operator in Singapore’, followed by the penalty for individuals (a fine of up to S$10,000, up to 6 months' imprisonment, or both). Polymarket nonetheless lists Singapore-themed markets, such as daily Singapore temperature and the Singapore Grand Prix, on its Singapore predictions page. Polymarket's Help Center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use. We found no app-store removal in Singapore.
Kalshi's Member Agreement (section VI, undated, fetched September 24, 2026) lists Singapore as a Restricted Jurisdiction. Singapore was on Kalshi's first published list, in the Exchange Notice of October 23, 2025, on the list in the Notice of November 4, 2025, and is on the current agreement. We found no Kalshi notice or blog post that names Singapore.
Kalshi's site also appears to be blocked in Singapore. The Straits Times reported on April 20, 2026 (read via Yahoo Singapore and AsiaOne) that kalshi.com ‘is blocked in Singapore, and attempts to access the website are met by a warning that suspected illegal gambling activity is detected’. Neither the date of that block nor the order behind it has been published, and we found no GRA or police publication that names Kalshi; the observation rests on that one report, and we say so.
The regulator is the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore (GRA), and the law is the Gambling Control Act 2022, in force since August 1, 2022 (as summarised by the law firm Reed Smith). Section 5(1) of the Act defines betting to include bets on ‘the outcome of a race, competition, sporting event or other event or process’, on ‘the likelihood of anything occurring, or not occurring’ and on whether ‘anything is or is not true’. Section 18 makes it an offence to conduct a betting operation without a licence, class licence or exemption, with penalties of up to S$500,000 and 7 years' imprisonment for a first offence (S$700,000 and 10 years for a repeat offence), and section 20 makes it an offence for an individual to gamble with an unlicensed provider, with a fine of up to S$10,000, imprisonment of up to 6 months, or both. The GRA's own page states that ‘it is unlawful for any person to provide unlicensed remote gambling services in or from Singapore, or from outside Singapore to persons situated in Singapore’, that Singapore Pools (Private) Limited is the only operator licensed to provide remote gambling services, and that since January 1, 2025 the Singapore Police Force handles ‘blocking access to unlawful remote gambling services, the advertising of such services and payment transactions’. The Act also provides for blocking orders to internet access providers and to financial institutions. We found no statement by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) that names either platform, and no court decision.
December 2024 (Secondary reports; first reported January 13, 2025). Singapore blocked access to polymarket.com. Users reported losing access over the weekend of January 11–12, 2025 (CoinDesk, January 13; casino.guru, January 14), and a GRA spokesperson told Bloomberg, as carried by the Bangkok Post, that the site ‘was deemed to be providing unlawful gambling’. The Government's joint statement of April 2026 dates the block to December 2024, ‘after an assessment determined that it was providing unlawful gambling services’. The main table dates this action January 13, 2025, the day it was first reported, because no exact December date has been published. We found no GRA press release naming Polymarket on gra.gov.sg; the GRA's statements were given to the press. The block is at internet-provider level with an official notice page; it targets the site, and the notice page warns visitors of the penalty for individuals under section 20.
January 1, 2025 (Official). Responsibility for blocking access to unlawful remote gambling services, their advertising and their payment transactions passed from the GRA to the Singapore Police Force, according to the GRA's own page. This is an administrative change, not an action against a platform, and it explains why later blocking is handled by the police.
April 20, 2026 (Secondary reports quoting an official statement). Responding to the Straits Times about a surge in Singapore-related bets on Polymarket, the GRA, IMDA and the Singapore Police Force said in a joint statement that ‘no blocking method is foolproof’, that those who ‘deliberately circumvent the Government's blocking measures do so at their own risk’, and that individuals who gamble with unlicensed providers face a fine of up to S$10,000 and/or up to 6 months' jail. The statement gave enforcement totals as of December 31, 2024: more than 3,800 illegal gambling websites blocked and more than 145,000 payment transactions worth about S$37 million blocked. Reported by the Straits Times (via Yahoo Singapore), AsiaOne and iGB. The same report observed that kalshi.com was blocked.
We found no court challenge by Polymarket, Kalshi or any user in Singapore, and no action has been lifted or reversed as of September 26, 2026.

Public regulator, court and police actions concerning Polymarket and Kalshi in Singapore, as of 2026-09-24. Not legal advice.
This section reports what the law and the authorities in Singapore have said about people who take part in these markets, and any enforcement against users that has been made public. It describes; it doesn't advise.
Singapore's law reaches participants, not only operators. Section 20 of the Gambling Control Act 2022 makes it an offence for an individual to gamble using a gambling service provided in breach of the licensing rules, and the GRA's page states the penalty: ‘liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both’. That penalty is printed on the notice page shown in place of polymarket.com, and the joint statement of April 20, 2026 repeated it, adding that those who deliberately circumvent the blocking measures ‘do so at their own risk’.
We found no prosecution of, or charge against, a Polymarket or Kalshi user in Singapore. On payments, the GRA's page says the police block payment transactions to unlawful remote gambling services, and the Act provides for payment-blocking orders to financial institutions; we found no bank notice specific to either platform and no statement from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore about prediction-market gains.
Singapore-related markets kept trading despite the block. The Straits Times reported on April 20, 2026 (via AsiaOne) that Polymarket's market on the 2025 General Election drew about US$720,000, that daily ‘highest temperature in Singapore’ markets, running since March 13, 2026, averaged more than US$100,000 a day in April 2026 (S$158,725 on the 33°C market of April 17, 2026), and that markets on the Singapore Grand Prix and the 2023 Presidential Election had also been offered. It was this report that prompted the joint statement of the GRA, IMDA and the police.
Singapore Pools (Private) Limited is the only operator licensed by the GRA to provide remote gambling services, according to the GRA's page. We found no sponsorship deal involving either platform in Singapore, no statement by the Elections Department and no statement by MAS that names the platforms.
PolyKal is a read-only research site, and it does not restrict access by country, including from Singapore. Its public pages, including prices on both platforms, order-book depth, after-fee cost comparisons, the fee calculator, and large-trade and whale data, need no account. You don't need a VPN to use them.
Viewing public market data is not trading. PolyKal doesn't place orders, hold funds or give access to trading on either platform, and a restriction on Polymarket or Kalshi in Singapore still applies to trading there. Polymarket's help center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use, and Kalshi's Member Agreement excludes people in its restricted jurisdictions; getting around a block can also break local law. PolyKal doesn't help anyone get around them.
Start with the compare page, the fee calculator or large trades, or read how Polymarket works and how Kalshi works.
Singapore is one of 27 countries, plus the United States, that PolyKal tracks. The full availability table shows every country's status under each platform's rules and its regulator actions side by side, with the same dates and sources as this page, and its change log lists every edit we make.
Every entry is re-checked at least once a quarter, and sooner when a platform or regulator announces a change. The next scheduled full re-check is shown in the sidebar.
Yes, on two levels. Polymarket's own Help Center (updated August 14, 2026) lists Singapore as close-only, so users there can close existing positions but not open new ones. Separately, Singapore blocked access to polymarket.com in December 2024 after assessing it as providing unlawful gambling services; visitors see an official notice page instead of the site, and no lifting of that block had been reported as of September 26, 2026.
Kalshi's Member Agreement lists Singapore as a Restricted Jurisdiction, and has since its first published list of October 23, 2025. The Straits Times reported on April 20, 2026 that kalshi.com was blocked in Singapore with a warning about suspected illegal gambling; neither the date nor the order behind that block has been published, and we found no GRA or police publication naming Kalshi. Whether trading is lawful for you is not something this page decides.
We don't give a verdict for you. What the record shows: the Gambling Control Act 2022 makes it an offence for an individual to gamble with an unlicensed provider (section 20: a fine of up to S$10,000, up to 6 months' imprisonment, or both), the GRA assessed Polymarket as providing unlawful gambling services, and the Government's joint statement of April 20, 2026 said that people who deliberately circumvent its blocking measures ‘do so at their own risk’. We found no prosecution of a Polymarket or Kalshi user in Singapore. For your own situation, check the current law and the platform's terms.
Polymarket's Help Center (updated August 14, 2026) says users in Singapore ‘may close their existing positions but cannot open new ones’, and its developer docs describe the same close-only mode on the website and the API. That is the platform's rule; it says nothing about the internet-provider block that Singapore has applied to polymarket.com since December 2024, and the Government has said that people who deliberately circumvent its blocking measures do so at their own risk. This page describes no way around any block; for what close-only means in general, see our glossary.
Yes, on PolyKal. PolyKal is a read-only research site that shows prices, order-book depth and fee comparisons for both platforms without an account, and it does not restrict access from Singapore. Viewing data is not trading: PolyKal places no orders and gives no access to either platform, and Singapore's block of polymarket.com at internet providers is unaffected by anything on this site.
No. Polymarket's help center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use, and Kalshi's Member Agreement excludes people in its restricted jurisdictions. Getting around a block can also break local law. You don't need a VPN to research these markets: PolyKal's prices, order books and fee calculator don't require one.

That is the platform's rule; it says nothing about the internet-provider block that Singapore has applied to polymarket.com since December 2024, and the Government has said that people who deliberately circumvent its blocking measures do so at their own risk. This page describes no way around any block; for what close-only means in general, see our glossary.
Yes, on PolyKal. PolyKal is a read-only research site that shows prices, order-book depth and fee comparisons for both platforms without an account, and it does not restrict access from Singapore. Viewing data is not trading: PolyKal places no orders and gives no access to either platform, and Singapore's block of polymarket.com at internet providers is unaffected by anything on this site.
No. Polymarket's help center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use, and Kalshi's Member Agreement excludes people in its restricted jurisdictions. Getting around a block can also break local law. You don't need a VPN to research these markets: PolyKal's prices, order books and fee calculator don't require one.
We re-check every country page at least once a quarter, and sooner when a platform or regulator announces a change; each rule and action on the page shows its own date and source. If you spot something out of date for Singapore, email [email protected] with a link to the new rule or order.
Every statement on this page rests on the sources below. Platform rules were checked against Polymarket's and Kalshi's own pages on September 24, 2026; regulator, court and police actions were checked against the sources listed on September 24–26, 2026. Each source is marked as official, a platform document or a secondary report. Where only secondary reporting was available, we cite it and say so; where official sources conflict, we report both. We re-verify this page quarterly.
