Prediction Market Users - Kalshi & Polymarket Problem Gambling

Press inquiry from The Guardian Hi, my name is Alaina Demopoulos and I'm a writer with The Guardian US. Reaching out with mod approval as I'm working on a story about prediction markets (Kalshi, Polymarket, etc) and problem gambling. I'm looking for sources who have direct experience with these apps creating or exacerbating their gambling issues. I plan to approach this topic with sensitivity and care. I'm happy to speak off-record first to make sure a source is comfortable before agreeing to an on-record interview. I am also happy to honor a request for anonymity in the piece - whether that's referring to sources by a pseudonym, their initials, or first name only. Please reach out to me at [email redacted] if you're interested in setting up an interview. I'd like to speak by the end of this week, but I have some slight wiggle room. Thanks so much for reading and be well.
