        You can also bet on stuff that nobody has insider information on. You know, if you’re an adult and you’re capable of judging your own risk tolerance.

          I admit I’ve been a bit curious since I’ve been hearing about it so goddamn much recently it seems.

          Can I use this with a desktop/browser or is it phone/app only?

            Both I think. Idk I’m on kalshi because polymarket is technically banned in the US and I can’t be bothered with crypto. The second polymarket has a market on some variation of ‘Trump dies of natural causes before leaving office by other means’ I’ll consider the hoops worth jumping through.

          Is that one of Polymarket’s categories of bets? The “no insider trading here” category?

            If you can’t figure that out on your own then you probably shouldn’t bet on it.
