Markets across every category.

From elections to championships, from rate decisions to box-office openings, Polymarket has a market for the questions you actually care about.

How it works

Three steps to take a position.

Prediction markets turn knowledge into capital. The mechanics are simpler than they sound.

1

Pick a market

Browse questions across politics, sports, crypto, and more. Every market has a clear yes-or-no outcome and resolution criteria spelled out in plain language.

2

Take a side

Buy shares of Yes or No at the going price. Prices move between 1¢ and 99¢ and reflect the market's view of the probability at that moment.

3

Get paid if right

When the event resolves, every correct share pays out $1. Exit any time before resolution by selling at the market price.

Why Polymarket

Built for people who do their homework.

Polymarket rewards research, judgment, and conviction. The platform stays out of the way so the market can do its job.

Transparent on-chain settlement

Every trade and payout settles on a public blockchain. No black boxes, no opaque rules. The numbers you see are the numbers that move.

Sharp pricing, real liquidity

Tight spreads on the markets that matter. Enter and exit positions at a fair price, whether you're trading $20 or $20,000.

Markets that resolve clearly

Each question is written with explicit resolution sources. Disputes are reviewed openly. You always know the rules of the trade before you place one.

No middlemen, no markups

Prices come from traders, not from a house. Polymarket doesn't set the line - the market does, and you trade against other participants directly.

Real-time probabilities

Polymarket prices act as a live forecast. Researchers, journalists, and analysts watch the lines because they aggregate what the smartest money believes right now.

Custody you control
