What wallet do I need to use Polygon Betting Market?

Any Ethereum-compatible wallet that supports the Polygon network is suitable. MetaMask is the most widely used option and supports Polygon with a simple network addition. Phantom wallet also supports Polygon. Hardware wallets such as Ledger can be used with MetaMask for additional security on larger positions.

How do I get USDC on Polygon?

You can acquire USDC on Polygon by purchasing it directly on a centralized exchange that supports Polygon network withdrawals, by bridging USDC from Ethereum mainnet using an official or third-party bridge, or by swapping other tokens on a Polygon DEX. Always verify you are receiving Polygon-native USDC to ensure compatibility.

How do markets resolve?

Market resolution depends on verifiable external data. Most markets use oracle services that pull data from authoritative sources — official election results, sports scores, cryptocurrency price feeds, or government announcements. Resolution criteria are specified in each market description before trading opens.

Is Polygon Betting Market legal in my country?

The regulatory status of prediction markets varies significantly by jurisdiction. The United States has a complex regulatory landscape, with federal CFTC oversight coexisting with state-level gaming regulations. Several European countries permit prediction market activity under existing financial regulations, while others have restrictions. Always consult local legal guidance before participating.

Can I lose all my capital?

Yes. Prediction market trading carries risk of total loss on individual positions. If you hold "Yes" shares in a market that resolves as "No," those shares become worthless. Smart contract risk, oracle failure, and market manipulation are additional risk factors. Only commit capital you are prepared to lose entirely.
