A new third-party interface called Predict has launched on Telegram, allowing users to trade on Polymarket's prediction markets directly within the messaging app. This development has been confirmed by the platform on its X profile.
The Predict bot offers access to contracts on outcomes for various events, including sports, politics, and cryptocurrencies. It pulls real-time quotes and market data from Polymarket, ensuring users have up-to-date information at their fingertips.
According to the terms of use, Predict and Polymarket operate independently, and the conditions are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Notably, the service lists several jurisdictions as restricted, including Russia, the USA, and the UK, among others. Attempts to bypass these geo-blocks using a VPN are considered violations of the terms.
Interestingly, despite being listed as a restricted jurisdiction, Predict maintains a Russian-language channel and promotes its services to the Russian audience.
