How to deposit on Polymarket

Fund your account carefully, then learn how to place a Polymarket trade.

This guide shows the basic flow for getting started on Polymarket: create an account, add funds, then return to 99market to find high-probability markets priced near 98c to 99.5c.

Before trading, always read the market rules, check the end time, and understand the risk. A high-probability Polymarket outcome can still lose if the event resolves differently than expected.

You're good to go. Find high-probability Polymarkets on 99market.

Deposit checklist before you send funds

Check eligibility. International and U.S. access paths can differ. Confirm the product shown to your account and never bypass a geographic restriction.

Use the displayed route. Copy the deposit address and network from your own account. Supported assets and funding providers can change.

Test first. Send a small amount, wait for credit, then send the remainder. Include provider, network and conversion fees in your budget.

Polymarket assigns a deposit address to the account and provides a recovery tool for some wrong-network transfers, but recovery is not guaranteed. Follow the current official deposit instructions rather than relying only on screenshots.

Final notes before you trade

Check liquidity and volume before entering. A market can show an attractive price but still be hard to trade if the order book is thin.

Read the resolution criteria on Polymarket. The exact wording decides how the market settles, especially for short-term crypto, sports, politics, and weather markets.

Treat 98c+ markets as high probability, not guaranteed. The strategy is about comparing risk, time, and payout, not removing risk entirely.
