Without knowing the first thing about the ceo of something called “BetHog” he’s pretty obviously right — if you plan on offering a vice long-term, you have to set some guard rails around unfettered access to your product!

Kalshi is running TikTok ads with young women claiming they’re paying their rent or no longer working second jobs thanks to their Kalshi wagers. This has drawn criticism from, of all people, the CEO of a crypto casino called “BetHog”.
Kalshi has also been running TikTok ads featuring young women with captions like “POV: I was about to be unable to pay my rent, but I got two years of rent through Kalshi’s predictions. It’s amazing!” and “me because in 2026 i stopped working weekends and started predicting weather instead (making $280/week now vs $190 before)”. A still frame of a Tiktok video, where two very youthful women are staring offscreen at something. The caption reads, “POV: I was about to be unable to pay my rent, but I got two years of rent through Kalshi’s predictions. It’s amazing!” Caption: These people are apparently old enough to pay their own rent?? (via Twitter) This drew criticism from, of all people, the CEO of a crypto casino called “BetHog”.52 He compared Kalshi’s marketing to the trajectory of the vape company Juul, which pushed its products on “non smokers and particularly kids. (See the similarity?) The backlash took time to build but when it did it was devastating for the company.” He commented on how he’s worked in online gambling for more than 25 years, and: “This type of marketing is actually extremely rare in real money gaming. Firstly and most importantly it is rare because operators view it as highly unethical. It might surprise you that a lot of people in the gaming industry do actually care about things like underage and problem gambling. Secondly it is also rare because it doesn’t work. Do you think the teenagers in these ads are going to keep playing when they lose all their rent money?”

Prediction markets soared in 2024, with Polymarket hitting $371M in Election Day bets. But post-election, its TVL plummeted 80%, raising doubts about sustainability. Can sports betting and new players like BetHog & Hilo reignite the sector, or are prediction markets a fading trend?
