Polymarket US best features

Polymarket US is a full order-book exchange, and a couple of its features are unusual even by prediction-market standards.

Makers get paid

Post a limit order at your own price and, when it fills, you receive a maker rebate instead of paying a fee. Takers who hit an existing order pay a small fee. If you are willing to wait for a fill, the exchange pays you rather than the other way round.

Sell before resolution

A position can be sold at any time before the market resolves. Buy Yes at 40 cents, watch it move to 65 after a news break, sell, keep the gain. It works the other way too if you want out of a trade that has gone against you.

In-play sports trading

Sports markets stay open during the game. Prices move with every drive and possession. Once you have joined Polymarket US, you can trade a live game the same way you would a pregame market.

The broadest category mix

Sports, politics, economics, finance, crypto, culture and weather all sit in one app. If you have a view on a Fed decision or a box-office opening weekend, there is probably a contract for it.

Chat and instant buying power

Each market has an in-app chat where traders argue about the question while it is live. Debit card and ACH deposits give you instant buying power while the funds clear, so you are not waiting days to place a first trade.
