On PolySouq, deposits and withdrawals run via USDC on the Polygon network, with very low network fees compared to traditional bank transfers. There is no entry or trading fee at all — the platform's only commission is 10% taken from the losing pot alone, which is 10% of the winners' gross profit before commission, while your own stake is returned in full when you win. Your capital is at risk — only deposit what you can afford to lose.
How much are PolySouq's fees and commissions? One commission only: ten percent of the losing pool, taken at settlement. And there are no fees when you put your amount in. Everyone who picks a side puts their amount into its pool: the "Yes" pool and the "No" pool. At settlement the winners get their amounts back in full, then they share the losing pool after the commission. An example: six hundred dollars on "Yes" and four hundred on "No", and the result came out "Yes". The commission is ten percent of four hundred, that is forty dollars. And the remaining three hundred and sixty goes to the winners. And if you had put ten dollars on "Yes", you get them back in full, and with them your share of the remainder: six dollars. So you receive sixteen dollars. And had the result come out "No", you would have lost the ten. And when is no commission taken at all? In two cases: nobody is on the other side, or nobody is on the outcome that happened. Then the amounts are returned in full, and the commission is zero. And what do you not pay? No entry fees, no subscription, no commission on deposits, and no fees for opening an account. As for deposits and withdrawals, they are in USDC on the Polygon network. On a deposit, the transfer fees are taken by the wallet or the crypto exchange you send from. The minimum deposit is ten dollars, and the minimum withdrawal is five. Trading on PolySouq is with real money, and you may lose the amount you put in. The full guide is at polysouq.com.

Small withdrawals can be sent automatically while larger ones go through a review queue first, so withdrawals are not instant.
PolySouq runs on a parimutuel pool model: everyone who backs an outcome puts their money into a pot, and when the outcome is known the people who were right split the pot. The platform is never your counterparty — you are staking against the other participants, not against the house.
