Q: How fresh is the scanner?

Markets refresh every minute from the Kalshi public API. Telegram + Discord alerts fire within seconds of a qualifying mispricing appearing.

Q: Is Kalshi available everywhere in the U.S.?

Most of the U.S. is fine. A small set of states (notably Nevada and a handful of restricted jurisdictions) block specific sports event contracts. The Autonomous Agent enforces those restrictions automatically.

Q: How does payment work?

Crypto only — USDC, BTC, SOL, or USDT-TRC20. We confirm on-chain manually within the hour and DM the Telegram + Discord invites.

Q: Refunds?

Crypto payments are non-refundable, but if you are unhappy in the first 7 days we will refund manually to the same wallet you paid from.

Q: Why are you cheaper than running my own bot?

We amortise the scanner cost across customers, run it co-located near the Kalshi API, and ship updates weekly. Building and maintaining your own would cost more in OpenAI calls, server time, and engineering hours than $39/mo.

Q: Will Kalshi ban my account for using the bot?

Kalshi explicitly allows API trading and publishes the API for that purpose. Arbitrage between YES and NO of the same contract is a normal liquidity-providing pattern; it is what tightens spreads on the venue. You should still read Kalshi’s terms before connecting an API key.

Question 1

Is KalshiArb affiliated with Kalshi?

Accepted Answer

No. KalshiArb is an independent third-party scanner. KalshiEX LLC operates the exchange; we operate the arbitrage scanner on top of their public REST API.

Question 2

Do I need a Kalshi account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You trade on your own Kalshi account. The Bot tier sends Telegram + Discord alerts; the Autonomous Agent uses your Kalshi API key to fire both legs for you.

Question 3

What kinds of arbitrage do you find?

Accepted Answer

Three kinds: intra-market (YES + NO < $1.00 on the same binary contract), event arbitrage (sum of mutually-exclusive YES legs < $1.00 on multi-outcome events), and cross-venue (Kalshi vs Polymarket vs U.S. sportsbooks).
