Novig is a sports-focused prediction market that California residents 21+ can use. The $10 deposit offer is an easy way to try it, but for the widest markets and deepest liquidity, Polymarket and Kalshi remain our top picks.

Frequently asked questions
I funded and tested Novig personally from a California address before writing this review — no free press access, no operator-supplied account. My background is 15 years in regulated iGaming, including running the Hard Rock New Jersey online CRM launch under a DGE vendor license, so I hold prediction market operators to a real regulated-operator standard. — Catie Di Stefano
Catie Di Stefano has spent 15 years in the regulated gambling industry, starting at Betsson Group in Malta and spending nearly five years at Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) before building an independent consultancy across European and US iGaming brands, including a licensed engagement with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City under a New Jersey DGE vendor license.
She's been interviewed by the California Business Journal on the rise of online gambling in the US, and spoke on a 2022 Next.io panel specifically about California's gaming market.
