FAQ

The questions people actually ask, answered without the marketing voice.

Do I need a wallet already?
No. No. Log in with X or email and a wallet is created for you on BNB Smart Chain. If you already have MetaMask or Phantom, connect it instead - it is the wallet your bets pay from and your winnings land in.
Why should I connect my X account?
Because it is the only way your @ appears on the cards you share, and the only thing that stops someone else from putting your handle on their bet. Handles come from the X login itself, never from a field anyone can type into. You can skip it and bet anyway; your card just shows a shortened wallet instead.
Can I cancel a bet?
No. Once the transfer confirms, the position is in the pool until the market resolves. There is no sell button and no cash out, because there is no counterparty to sell to: the pool is not a market maker, it is just everybody's money sitting together until the day ends.
What happens if I bet right before the close?
It counts only if the transfer confirms before 00:00 UTC. Block time decides, not the moment you clicked. A transaction that lands a few seconds late does not enter the market and the tokens are returned to you.
What if nobody takes the other side?
The market voids and everyone gets their money back with no fee. A pool with an empty side has nothing to pay out from, so there is no market to settle.
What if the trader does not trade at all that day?
Zero PnL is not profit, so a green day market resolves NO. It is the single most common surprise on this site, and it is worth remembering before you buy YES on a quiet weekend.
Do you take the other side of my bet?
No. There is no house position on any market. The only money we take is the fee on winners' profit, which means we do better when markets are busy and not when you specifically lose.
Can the rules change after I bet?
Not for a market that is already open. The question text and the resolution rule are frozen when the market is created. Rule changes only ever apply to markets created afterwards.
How do I get a market added?
That is the whole point of phase 2. See the roadmap for how the community channel decides what gets built.
Is this gambling?
You are putting money at risk on an uncertain outcome, so treat it as such: bet what you are comfortable losing. We are not going to dress that up as investing.
