Responsible Trading Guidelines
Prediction-market trading carries risk. PolyGram provides tools and resources to help you trade responsibly and seek help if you need it.
Trade only what you can afford to lose
Treat your trading bankroll the same way you would treat any other discretionary spending. Never trade with money needed for rent, bills, debt repayment, food, or other essentials. The price of any prediction-market share can fall to $0; losses are real and final at resolution.
Self-assessment
Ask yourself the following questions periodically. If you answer "yes" to more than one, consider taking a break and contacting one of the help resources listed below.
- Do you trade with money you can't afford to lose?
- Do you feel the need to trade with increasing amounts?
- Have you tried to cut back on trading but couldn't?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to stop?
- Do you trade to escape problems or relieve negative feelings?
- Have you lied to family members about your trading activity?
Self-management tools
Deposit limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control your spending. Limits can be adjusted in your account settings; increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off window.
Loss limits
Set maximum-loss thresholds. Trading will be paused automatically if your cumulative losses reach the limit you have set within the configured window.
Session time limits
Set reminders for how long you've been active on the Platform. Take regular breaks to maintain a healthy relationship with trading.
Cool-off period
Take a short break from trading. You can request a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days during which your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to place trades.
Self-exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from the Platform for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion you will not be able to access your account or place trades. Pending positions will remain until resolution. To request self-exclusion, contact support@polygram.ink or use the self-exclusion option in your account settings.
