Prediction Markets Involve Real Risk

Prediction markets, including those on Polymarket, allow you to speculate on the outcomes of future events. These are high-risk financial products. You can lose 100% of your stake — this is not theoretical, it happens regularly.

Every dollar you invest in a prediction market is at risk. If your chosen outcome does not occur, you receive zero. Market prices change rapidly based on new information, sentiment, and liquidity, and positions can reverse sharply.

Only bet money you can afford to lose completely. This is not a savings account, a bond, or a diversified investment portfolio. This is speculation. Treat it accordingly.

If you cannot afford to lose the amount you are considering betting, do not place the bet. No pick, track record, or conviction is worth financial hardship.

02

Age & Jurisdiction Restrictions

You must be at least 18 years old to use Automated.Money and trade on Polymarket. Prediction market trading is not intended for minors.

Polymarket access and prediction market trading is restricted or prohibited in certain jurisdictions. You are solely responsible for determining whether prediction market trading is legal where you live and whether you can legally access Polymarket.

If prediction market trading or Polymarket is prohibited in your jurisdiction, do not use Automated.Money picks for trading. Violation of your local laws is your responsibility.

Automated.Money does not offer legal advice regarding regulatory compliance in your region. Consult a lawyer if you are unsure about the legality of prediction market trading where you live.

03

Picks Are Information, Not Advice

The picks published by Automated.Money are information and editorial commentary only. They are not financial advice, investment recommendations, or an offer to buy or sell anything. They are our analysis and conviction on how we think events will unfold.

You are not obligated to act on any pick. You may ignore any pick and make your own decision. You may also disagree with our analysis. We may be wrong. Markets may price in information we missed or discount information we overweighted. Conviction and being right are different things.

Your trading decisions are entirely your own. You decide which markets to trade, how much to stake, and whether to hedge or exit. We do not manage your account or make trades on your behalf.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Our historical accuracy reflects specific market conditions, timing, and information that may not repeat. Future picks operate in different contexts with different risks.

Gambling and speculative trading can become problematic. If any of these apply to you, consider taking a break or seeking support:

  • Feeling anxious or stressed about your positions
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities to trade
  • Lying to others about how much money you're betting
  • Borrowing money to fund trading
  • Feeling unable to stop or control your trading activity
  • Experiencing financial hardship due to losses

Our Commitment to Responsible Participation

Automated.Money is committed to responsible, honest participation in prediction markets:

Honesty First: We publish our actual picks and reasoning. We disclose conflicts of interest (e.g., if we hold positions in markets we publish picks on). We don't hide losses or cherry-pick winning predictions.

Clear Risk Communication: We prominently warn about the risk of total loss and encourage only betting what you can afford to lose.

No Guarantees: We never guarantee profits or returns. We do not claim to have a "secret formula" or "edge" that always works. Markets are uncertain.

Respect Your Autonomy: Our picks are information. You decide how to use them. You decide whether to trade, how much to stake, and when to exit.

Support When Needed: If you want to disable your account or take a break from trading, we support that. You can cancel your subscription at any time, no questions asked.

06

Self-Exclusion & Account Closure

If you want to take a break from trading or permanently close your account, you can do so at any time. No judgment, no questions asked.

To cancel or close your account: Email hello@automated.money with "Account Closure" in the subject line, or cancel directly from your dashboard settings.

Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing period, and you will stop receiving picks. You can reactivate at any time if you change your mind.

If you need a temporary break, you can pause notifications without canceling. Just reach out to us and we'll help.
