Our verdict
Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction markets platform regulated in the US by the CFTC. Traders are able to speculate on an event occuring by buying shares priced based on probability. There are zero trading costs for most markets and you can trade on finance, economics, politics and sports.
Is Polymarket any good for predication markets?
Pricing: There are no fees or commission on most markets (including stocks), but for crypto prediction markets Polymarket charges a small fee on takes (those that are not providing liquidity). So cheaper than dealing with a broker that is using a white lable.
Market Access: Loads of prediction markets on Polymarket with new ones being created daily based on political, sporting and financial events. If Polymarket does not display a market you want to trade you can request that they add it for you.
App & Platform: Very good for novice users, a simple interface and basic app make finding and predicting a market simple. There is API access for more experienced and professional traders.
Customer Service: Obviosuly no phone number to call if there are problems becuase this is 2026 and Polymarket is a massive fintech.
Research & Analysis: Brilliant, their Linkedin feed where they post interesting stats about probabilities is a great way to source ideas. Polymarket (by the very nature of their product) have some exceptions data points that they share with major news and research outlets for external analysis.
