Why Florida Prediction Markets exists
Florida Prediction Markets is an editorially independent publisher covering CFTC-regulated event contract exchanges for Florida residents and U.S. traders. We launched to be the trustworthy, Florida-focused alternative to repurposed sportsbook affiliates and operator-owned blogs that can't write a critical word about their own product.
Editorial standards
We test what we recommend
No operator makes a "Top Apps" list until we've funded an account, placed real trades on at least three different market categories, and tested both deposit and withdrawal end-to-end.
We cite primary sources
Legality claims link to CFTC press releases, court filings, and operator terms — not to other affiliate sites. When the law is unsettled, we say so plainly.
We update aggressively
CFTC rulings, state cease-and-desist orders, and operator launches change the picture monthly. Every legality and review page carries a "Last updated" date.
We correct mistakes openly
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change at the top of the page. Email editorial@floridapredictionmarkets.com to report an issue.
