Necessary disclaimer since people will try to assume my position through my analysis: I don't like sports gambling, have never done it, and I hate that the ads have taken over.

But I do agree with increasing the friction involved in signing up and depositing money.

It should not be possible to 1) sign up for kalshi, 2) complete identity verification, AND 3) deposit and place a $2000 real money bet --- within 5 minutes of downloading the app.

It's just way too damn easy. Let's at least make people wait 24 hours before placing their first bet... or something.

And stop allowing deposits with credit cards. This is most important.
