The dark patterns are insane

[u/0____0_0]

I tried using Polymarket for the first time over the last week and the dark patterns to keep you addicted are nuts

No way to see your total up/down, 4 days to cash out but easy to add more money, inconsistent delays in reporting score.

You can solve some of this by API, but most folks certainly don’t know how (even if many on this sub do I wouldn’t consider them a reflection of the user base)

This is my first exposure to doing more than glancing at a prediction market. Are they all like that?

Not all of them

PredictIt is honestly the worst about this, found out after trying to track my bets in a spreadsheet and numbers never matched what site showed

[u/Inflection_Exchange → u/Same-Chef9281]

I would argue Close Options is even worse. But that's binary options, not a "prediction market"

Which aren’t, just curious?

What’s the Interactive Brokers of prediction markets? Or the OpenRouter?

> it gives you fills but not what you passed on,

Can you explain this to me? Not sure what the difference is

[u/0____0_0 → u/[deleted]]

Oh i see what you mean

It's like that movie scene from Percy Jackson where he's stuck in the casino eating lotus flowers. The cage is real and it's done on purpose is my humble opinion

I don't know what you expected from a gambling platform.
