Responsible play
Keep prediction markets in perspective.
Prediction markets involve real financial and emotional risk. A live price can be useful information, but it is never certainty and should never determine what you can afford to lose.
Before taking a position
- Confirm participation is legal and available where you live.
- Read the full question, deadline and resolution criteria.
- Decide your maximum loss before connecting a wallet.
- Use money reserved for entertainment—not bills, savings or borrowed funds.
- Remember that market prices and popular traders can be wrong.
Warning signs
Step away if you are chasing losses, hiding activity, borrowing to participate, increasing position sizes to feel the same excitement, or finding that markets interfere with work, sleep or relationships.
Use practical limits
- Set a fixed money limit and a fixed time limit.
- Do not add funds immediately after a loss.
- Take regular breaks and avoid participating while distressed or impaired.
- Ask someone you trust to help you stay accountable.
