Best US Prediction Market Apps & Sites for 2026

• "Their app is great, interface very user friendly. Downside is they are still slow to respond to support inquiries can take a few days. Despoit/Withdrawals also need improvement on speed. Most other prediction markets, DFS sites, and sportsbooks payout near instantly. Taking 4 business days for a withdrawal is tough. Those aside, love the app and can't wait to see the improvement!"
