Protect Yourself

  • Never Share Codes: Kalshi will never call or text you to ask for a verification code.
  • Check the Sender: Inspect the email address carefully, not just the display name.
  • Ignore Unsolicited Requests: If you did not request a code, someone may be trying to access your account.
  • Log in Directly: If you receive a suspicious alert, do not click links. Instead, go directly to the official Kalshi website.

If you receive an unexpected code, it may indicate a threat actor has your password and is attempting to access your account. Always use two-factor authentication (2FA).
