PolymarketBest for Crypto: Crypto-native prediction market discovery
46 prediction market platforms compared.
46 prediction markets on one directory: 13 flagship reviews (Kalshi, Polymarket, Predict Fun and the rest) plus a 33-venue watchlist table. For a ranked shortlist use Top Prediction Markets, not this index alone.
Rating is the 0–10 number on each card. Gamma Score is the 0–100 number in the Gamma column and on Compare. They are stored on the same profile and are not a ×10 conversion. Catalog checked September 2026.
Flagship cards still carry best-for, KYC, rails and Gamma Score. Thin and experimental venues are a compact table — not 33 empty review URLs. For a ranked starting point, see our Top Prediction Markets list.

Watchlist — 33 experimental and thin listings
Each row now opens a desk note with a public-interface screenshot when we captured one, plus rails, KYC tags and a short verdict. These are still not flagship reviews. Notes, the name and the thumbnail go to /platform-*. Bodhi, Catnip, Rekt, Koii and Pump Markets are labelled high-risk. This is not a funded live-test of 33 extra books. Rain, PredictStreet, OPINION, Sport.fun, Liquidity House, Pascal, Overtime, Trueo and Limitless Exchange were added after the DefiLlama TVL snapshots on 8–9 September 2026.
