To start trading on PolySouq you fund your account with USDC via the Polygon network, 10 dollar minimum. This is real money used to buy Yes/No contracts on prediction markets — and your capital is at risk.
Is there a demo account or a signup bonus on PolySouq? The direct answer: no. No demo account. No signup bonus. No free balance or free coins. And no virtual money. The one thing that's actually free is creating your account, with your email or via Google. But what you trade with is your own money: USDC on the Polygon network, minimum ten dollars. Every dollar is real, and you can lose it. Start with the minimum deposit. Choose a market whose settlement source you understand. And don't put in more than you can afford to lose. Your stake stays in until settlement — no selling, no early exit. Except a football stake: you can cancel it before kickoff, and it's refunded in full. And to learn without staking: browse the markets and read the guides — following the percentages costs you nothing. And beware anyone who promises you a bonus or a guaranteed profit. Trading on PolySouq is with real money, and you may lose the amount you put in. Start by browsing at polysouq.com.
USDC is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, so your balance value doesn't swing with other crypto price volatility. The Polygon network offers very low transfer fees and fast confirmation compared to other networks.
Treat your balance like real capital: spread it across multiple markets instead of concentrating on one trade, and pick markets you genuinely understand (see Risk and Capital Management). Only deposit what you can afford to lose.
You can withdraw your available balance in USDC to a Polygon address you provide. The minimum withdrawal is $5, a verified email is required, daily limits apply, and larger requests may be reviewed before they are sent.
No. Prediction markets on PolySouq run on a parimutuel pool model with no leverage — you stake a set amount, and everyone who was right splits the pot after a 10% commission taken from the losing pot alone. The maximum possible loss is only the amount you staked.
