§ / RISK DISCLOSURE

Risk Disclosure

Read this before funding an account. It is short on purpose, and none of it is boilerplate we hope you skip.

01Prediction markets carry substantial risk of loss

Positions on Polymarket are binary-outcome contracts. A contract you hold can go to zero, and frequently does — that is how the instrument works, not an edge case. Prices move on news, on order flow and on resolution risk, and they can gap: there is no guarantee a position can be exited at or near the last traded price, or at all, before resolution.

Liquidity varies enormously between markets and over time. A book that was deep when a position was opened can be thin when you want out. PolySniper’s minimum-liquidity and maximum-spread limits reduce this exposure; they do not remove it.

You should not trade with a balance you cannot afford to lose in full.

02PolySniper is execution software, not advice

PolySniper places orders inside limits you configure. It does not know your financial situation, does not assess suitability, and does not recommend positions, strategies or position sizes to you personally. Nothing on this site, in the product, in a strategy preset or in the activity feed is investment, financial, legal or tax advice.

Choosing a strategy, setting its parameters and arming the bot are your decisions. The software executes them; it does not endorse them.

03Losses can occur quickly and automatically

An armed bot places orders without asking you first — that is its purpose. A mis-configured limit, a strategy armed in conditions it is not suited to, or a fast-moving market can produce a sequence of losing trades faster than a person would have made them by hand.

The nine server-side risk limits, including the daily loss cap with automatic disarm, bound how fast losses can accumulate. They do not prevent losses, and they cannot retroactively undo a filled order. Paper mode exists so you can watch a strategy’s behaviour against live prices before real balance is at risk; we recommend using it every time you change anything material.

04Custody of your funds

PolySniper holds your funds. Deposits sit in a wallet provisioned for your account. Keys are held in an isolated signing service with envelope encryption; withdrawals only ever go to the address you locked on your first deposit, and changing that address takes 48 hours plus email confirmation.

Custody of any kind carries risk, including operational failure and compromise. The withdrawal-address lock limits where funds can move but cannot eliminate custody risk. A lapsed subscription disarms the bot; it never closes your positions and never blocks a withdrawal.

05Jurisdiction restrictions

Polymarket restricts a number of jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and the United States. We geo-check at signup and again every time the bot is armed. We do not support VPN or other circumvention, and accounts attempting it are closed. It is your responsibility to ensure that using PolySniper is lawful where you are; regulatory treatment of prediction markets differs by country and can change.

06No representation as to results

We make no representation or warranty as to trading results. We do not publish returns, win rates or other people’s outcomes, because they would tell you nothing about yours. Past behaviour of a strategy — including its behaviour in your own paper-mode runs — does not predict future results. Mispricings are competitive and close fast; an edge that existed yesterday may not exist today.

Software also fails: feeds stall, venues halt, orders reject. We engineer for these cases and surface every rejection with its reason, but no automated system is guaranteed to be available or correct at all times.

If any of the above is unacceptable to you, do not fund an account. Questions are welcome — see the support address in the footer.
