Prediction Markets Are Not ‘Just Gambling’ Platforms

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center prediction markets themselves, but they frame them differently. Reuters presents the broadest, most neutral setup, listing the range of topics and the supporters-versus-critics divide. Reason foregrounds Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour responding to whether the markets are gambling and mentions regulation, ordinary people outperforming Wall Street, and American capitalism, while National Review alone frames them as “not ‘just gambling’” and highlights hedging against real-world risks.
