Robinhood is currently unavailable in New Jersey.
Legal since June 2018. Led the Supreme Court challenge that overturned PASPA. One of the largest US markets.
CFTC-regulated prediction markets are available in New Jersey, though Robinhood event contracts are not available in this state. NJ's strong gambling regulatory framework means some platforms proceed cautiously.
Prediction markets (also called event contracts) let you trade on the outcome of real-world events — elections, economic indicators, weather, and more. Unlike sports betting, these are CFTC-regulated financial instruments traded on designated contract markets.
Since New Jersey has legal sports betting, residents can access both traditional sportsbooks and prediction market platforms. The two serve different purposes: sportsbooks for sports odds, and prediction markets for a wider range of event outcomes.
