How it works
Four steps from belief to settlement — no house, no hidden odds, just matched fans.
Pick a market
Browse World Cup fixtures. Each match has platform markets (e.g. "Will Mexico win?") and creator-invented props from Premium users.
Place YES or NO
Choose a side and stake an amount. If a counterparty exists at the same stake on the opposite side, you match instantly. Otherwise your position rests as UNMATCHED until someone takes the other side.
Wait for kickoff
UNMATCHED positions can be cancelled before the match goes LIVE. Once the clock starts, all cancellations lock globally. MATCHED positions are locked regardless.
Settle at full time
When the fixture finishes, markets resolve. Winners share the pool minus a platform fee (default 5%) on contested USD markets. Uncontested markets refund everyone 100%.
Real money vs free play
Your region runs on the free-play track. You compete with pts on the leaderboard — no deposits, no withdrawals. Create custom nested markets on scheduled fixtures and earn royalties when fans worldwide fill them.
P2P matching explained
PolyPray does not set odds. Prices emerge from matched volume: if $150 rests on YES and $50 on NO, the implied split is 75% / 25%. When you place $50 on YES and an existing $50 NO order exists, both positions flip to MATCHED and the market becomes contested.
Fees & payouts
- Platform fee: 5% of the active winning pool on contested USD settlements (admin-adjustable).
- Creator royalty: 20% of the platform fee on user-invented nested markets (1% of pool at defaults).
- Uncontested markets: full refund, zero fees.
- UNMATCHED pre-kickoff: cancel anytime for a full refund.
