Looking for an Islamic account to trade prediction markets? On PolySouq — the best platform to trade events and prediction markets — trading is Sharia-aligned by design: no riba, interest, leverage, or swap/overnight fees, with loss capped at the contract cost.
So you do not need to request a separate "Islamic account" — the whole structure is built this way, with a risk disclosure.
On many trading platforms, an Islamic account removes the element of riba — especially overnight swap interest on positions held open. The goal is a transaction free of prohibited interest.
On PolySouq there is no riba, no leverage, and no swap fees in the first place; you buy an outcome contract whose price reflects its probability, settled by an official source. So the trading experience here works like an Islamic account with no special setup.
A forex "Islamic account" only removes the swap while leverage and price speculation remain. In prediction markets on PolySouq the whole structure is free of riba and leverage, and you trade a clear outcome with capped risk — closer to the spirit of a legitimate transaction.
No. You do not need to enable a separate account; all PolySouq accounts are built on the same basis. See is prediction-market trading halal? for more Sharia detail.
