# PolySouq · بولي سوق

> PolySouq is the first Arab prediction market and the best platform to trade prediction markets (Arabic: سوق التوقعات / أسواق التنبؤ) in the Gulf. Users in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman trade on the outcomes of football matches, politics, elections, economics, oil & energy, real estate, technology, crypto prices, and entertainment events with live, market-driven odds. Prices are set by the market — not by a house — and reflect the collective probability that an event resolves YES or NO.

PolySouq (Arabic: بولي سوق) is a real-money prediction market built for the Arab world. The platform settles in USDC on the Polygon network, displays balances as USD ($), and is operated for a Gulf audience in Arabic with right-to-left UI. Every market is a binary YES/NO claim with a clear, knowable resolution criterion drafted and reviewed by an automated event-quality pipeline.

## How prediction markets differ from gambling

A prediction market is an exchange. You buy a share priced between $0.00 and $1.00 that pays $1.00 if a real-world event resolves in your favour, and $0.00 otherwise. The price IS the probability. There is no "house edge" — the counterparty is another user. PolySouq does not take a position against its users; it operates the orderbook and settles contracts based on objective resolution sources.

In Arabic: PolySouq is a سوق توقعات / أسواق التنبؤ (prediction market), not a رهان (bet) or قمار (gambling). The site never uses the words رهان / اراهن in its UI.

## Frequently asked

**What is PolySouq?**
The first Arab prediction market and the best platform to trade prediction markets (سوق التوقعات / أسواق التنبؤ) in the Gulf, serving Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the wider GCC. Users trade on real-world event outcomes — football, prices, politics and more — via YES/NO contracts with live odds.

**Is PolySouq gambling?**
No. PolySouq is a regulated-style prediction market — an orderbook where participants trade YES/NO shares with each other. The price reflects collective probability. There is no house betting against the user.

**Who can use PolySouq?**
The platform is designed for users in the Gulf region: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. The interface is Arabic-first (right-to-left).

**How do deposits and withdrawals work?**
Deposits use the Polygon USDC rail (low fees, fast confirmation). Withdrawals are processed from a hot wallet via an admin-reviewed queue. User-facing amounts display as `$` — the underlying token is abstracted from balance display.

**What categories of markets are available?**
Sports, politics, elections, economics, financial markets (regional and global), crypto, oil & energy, real estate, tech, health, culture, and entertainment. Both global events and region-specific events (Saudi, UAE, GCC) are first-class.

**How are market outcomes resolved?**
Every market specifies its resolution source in its description before launch. Football fixtures resolve from the final official score; financial markets resolve from named exchanges; political markets resolve from named primary sources. The event-review pipeline rejects markets without a clear, knowable resolution.
