New Jersey prediction market guides follow a contract on this site from its price to its payout. Whether anyone in the state may trade it is a separate question, for the legal status page.
A New Jersey election market usually settles on a media race call, weeks before the state certifies the count. That gap is why a result on this site reads unofficial until certification.
· Read guide →New Jersey gas price markets work as yes-or-no questions about one reading: AAA's statewide average for a gallon of regular on a named date. A line pays only when that reading lands strictly above it.
· Read guide →The Devils playoff contract settles on one question: does New Jersey qualify for the 2027 Stanley Cup Playoffs, through a division place or a wild card. Where the club finishes does not change the payout.
· Read guide →What New Jersey's regulator, the federal courts and the venues' own documents say about prediction markets in this state, each with its date. No conclusion is drawn where the record does not draw one.

Status as of November 6, 2026 · · See the record →Each guide here starts from a contract a New Jersey reader actually meets and works it through to the document that ends it. The guide to New Jersey gas price markets reads the daily and year-end ladders written on AAA's statewide average for regular, where a rung pays only when the reading lands strictly above its level. The guide to the Devils playoff contract explains why a club that sneaks in through the last wild card is paid exactly like a division winner, and why that board has many winners rather than one. The guide to how a New Jersey race market settles follows a district contract from the 8:00 p.m. poll close to the media call that pays it and on to the state's certification weeks later. The contracts themselves, with their live prices, are listed in the markets catalogue.
Three things send a guide back for rewriting. A rulebook can change: an exchange may move a settlement source, add a rung spacing or rewrite the clause that lets a race contract pay on a call. The calendar can overtake the page, as it does with the certification of the November 3, 2026 general election, due from the Board of State Canvassers by December 3, after which the results this site describes stop being unofficial. And the state's record can move, which is why no guide states where New Jersey stands on the exchanges; that sits, dated, on the legal status page. New guides are added when a contract on the site needs a page of explanation rather than a sentence inside a market page.
A price on a binary contract reads as a probability of one sentence coming true, and almost every misreading starts with the wrong sentence. A gas line is not about the pump down the street; it is about one AAA figure for the whole state. A playoff line is not about first place; it is about any route into the bracket. A race line is not about the certified count; on both venues it can pay on a call. Settlement always rests on a named record: the AAA average for a date, the result the NHL and named outlets report, a consensus of media calls backed by the official returns. Two exchanges can list one New Jersey question under different sentences, and a guide here sets those sentences side by side without preferring either. None of it is legal or financial advice.
On a named record that differs by contract. A gas line settles on AAA's statewide average for regular gas on its date, a Devils playoff line on the result the league and named outlets report, and a race on a consensus media call backed by the count the state certifies by December 3, 2026.
It is the price at which the Yes side trades, read as the market's implied probability that the contract's sentence comes true. It is not a forecast from this site and not a recommendation, and the guides set out the sentence each New Jersey contract is written on.
Because the contracts allow it. Kalshi's House and Senate contracts permit accelerated determination once a consensus of media organizations projects a winner, and the Board of State Canvassers certifies the general election only by December 3, 2026.
On Kalshi and Polymarket. The gas ladders and the Devils playoff line are listed on Kalshi alone, while the 7th District race was listed on both, and the guides name the venue behind each contract without favoring either.
The legal status page carries that record: what has been filed and ordered in New Jersey, with a date on each item. A guide explains how a contract is written and settled, draws no conclusion on standing, and is not legal or financial advice.
