Known rule differences between venues
- Kalshi 'Before Apr 1, 2027' vs Polymarket 'by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET' are the same cutoff; Kalshi 'Before Jul 1, 2027' vs Polymarket 'June 30, 2027' likewise. Kalshi's timezone for 'before' is not stated, but the cutoff is effectively midnight at the turn of the date.
- Kalshi relies on announcements reported by a Source Agency (own campaign or person only); Polymarket uses Ossoff's official statements with credible reporting consensus as a fallback. The sources could differ on borderline announcements.
- Polymarket explicitly excludes conditional, sarcastic or jesting statements and requires an explicit, unambiguous announcement; Kalshi excludes exploratory committees and statements of interest. Wording differs on borderline cases.
- Kalshi has additional outcomes (Before Jan 1, 2027 and Before Oct 1, 2027) that Polymarket lacks; they are not linked.
- Kalshi rules text is truncated in the outcome-level rules, though the full text appears in the main rules.
A shared identity alone does not make a price difference executable.
