How BITSBE works

BITSBE is a non-custodial interface to Polymarket. The markets you trade here are Polymarket markets — same order book, same liquidity, same prices, same settlement. BITSBE is not a separate platform, not a broker and not an exchange. It is a terminal built on top of Polymarket, focused on one thing: short-duration crypto Up/Down markets.

What BITSBE is

BITSBE is a front-end: a trading terminal that connects your browser wallet to markets that already exist on Polymarket. The market list, the chart, the order ticket, your positions and your history are produced by BITSBE. Everything that involves money — the order book, the matching of your order, the custody of collateral and the final payout — happens on Polymarket.

BITSBE does not quote a price of its own, does not take the other side of your position and does not hold a client balance. There is no BITSBE account with money in it: the balance shown in the terminal is the balance of your own Polymarket trading wallet, read live from the blockchain.

Why this is the same Polymarket, not a copy

This is the point most people ask about, so here is how you can verify it yourself.

What BITSBE adds is the interface: crypto Up/Down only, a proper trading chart aligned to the settlement price, the price-to-beat drawn on screen, live profit and loss when closing early, and human support.

Polymarket Builder Program

BITSBE participates in the official Polymarket Builder Program — the programme Polymarket runs for applications that let people trade Polymarket markets through their own interface. Every order submitted through BITSBE carries a builder attribution code, so Polymarket can see which orders came through this terminal. That code is how BITSBE earns, and it is the whole of the commercial relationship.

Builder code used by this integration: 0x6779ba6d6c8b563976e2ffc6a06ddceeb90e8ab43fbf4a02df098c15019f8175

The relationship is a technical integration, not ownership, sponsorship or endorsement. Polymarket does not own BITSBE, does not control this website and is not responsible for its content.

Regulatory status — stated plainly

Polymarket operates through two separate platforms, and it matters which one you are on.

Polymarket US — operated by QCX LLC, which holds a licence from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a Designated Contract Market (DCM), with an affiliated clearing organisation. It is available to U.S. residents at polymarket.us and is the regulated U.S. venue.

Polymarket International — polymarket.com, the platform BITSBE connects to. Polymarket states that this international platform is not regulated by the CFTC and operates independently. U.S. persons are blocked from trading on it.

What that means here. BITSBE routes to the international platform. So BITSBE does not hold, and does not operate under, the CFTC licence — that licence belongs to Polymarket's separate U.S. entity. BITSBE itself is a software interface: it holds no client funds, operates no order book and settles no contracts, and so is not a licensed exchange or broker in any jurisdiction. Anyone telling you otherwise is wrong, including if they claim it on our behalf.

Your eligibility to trade is determined by Polymarket's terms and by the law where you live — not by the fact that this website loads in your browser. Nothing on this site is an offer to residents of jurisdictions where such an offer would require a licence that is not held. Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice.

Where BITSBE is available

Access is blocked from the countries below, in line with Polymarket's own restrictions and applicable sanctions programmes. The block is applied automatically by this site; it is not something support can lift.

United StatesUnited KingdomCanadaFranceBelgium GermanyItalyNetherlandsPolandPortugal SwitzerlandHungaryRomaniaIrelandMalta SlovakiaUkraineRussiaBelarusAustralia SingaporeTaiwanThailandChinaIndia JapanBrazilIranNorth KoreaCuba SyriaVenezuela

U.S. residents are blocked here because the international Polymarket platform does not accept them. Polymarket offers a separate, CFTC-regulated venue for U.S. users at polymarket.us; BITSBE has no connection to it.

Do not attempt to bypass these restrictions with a VPN. Doing so breaches Polymarket's terms, can result in your Polymarket account being restricted, and puts the funds in your own wallet at risk of being frozen at the protocol level. BITSBE cannot help you in that situation and will not try.

This list changes as rules change. If your country is not listed and the terminal still refuses to trade, the restriction is coming from Polymarket's side, not ours.

The markets

BITSBE shows one family of Polymarket markets: short-duration crypto Up/Down markets. The question is always the same — will the asset's reference price at the end of the interval be above or below its price at the start of the interval.

ItemDetail
AssetsBitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), BNB, HYPE, Zcash (ZEC) — subject to availability on Polymarket
IntervalsM5 (5 minutes) and M15 (15 minutes)
OutcomesUp or Down. Each share of the winning outcome settles at $1.00; the losing outcome settles at $0.00
Price shownCents per share. 42¢ means the market currently prices that outcome at a 42% chance

CollateralpUSD, Polymarket's dollar collateral, held in your own Polymarket trading wallet

A new interval opens continuously, so there is always a market to trade. The window shown in the chart header is the exact interval you are trading, with its opening reference price labelled Price to beat.

Your wallet and custody

Connect an EVM browser wallet such as MetaMask and sign the login message. Signing in moves no money. It is a plain text signature that proves you control the address; it grants no spending permission of any kind.

Trading on Polymarket uses a Polymarket trading wallet — a smart-contract wallet deterministically derived from your main address. Your MetaMask address and your trading wallet address are therefore different, and the terminal shows both. Your funds sit in that trading wallet, which only you control. BITSBE has no key, no spending permission and no ability to move your balance.

BITSBE will never ask for your seed phrase or private key, by any channel, for any reason. Anyone who asks for them — including anyone claiming to be BITSBE or Polymarket support — is trying to steal from you.

Deposits

  1. Open Deposit and pick the network you are sending from: Polygon, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Solana, Bitcoin or Tron.
  2. Send a supported token to the address shown. Polygon is the cheapest and fastest route. Minimum $2.
  3. Any supported token is converted to pUSD and credited to your balance automatically — usually under a minute on Polygon, a few minutes on other chains.

Deposits go through Polymarket's bridge directly into your own trading wallet. They do not pass through a BITSBE account, because there is no BITSBE account. Send only supported tokens on the selected network — assets sent on the wrong network can be permanently lost, and neither BITSBE nor Polymarket can recover them.

Placing a trade

  1. Pick an asset in the Market Watch list and an interval, M5 or M15.
  2. Enter an amount in USDC and check the payout estimate: it shows what the position pays if it wins, fees included.
  3. Press UP or DOWN. Your order is signed locally and submitted to Polymarket's order book.

Orders are submitted as immediate-or-cancel market orders with a slippage limit. They are filled against real liquidity, so a fill is never guaranteed: an order can fill partially, or not at all, if the book is thin at your price. The quoted price is the price at that moment and can move before your order reaches the book.

The number of shares you receive equals your spend divided by the fill price. Buy $10 of an outcome at 40¢ and you receive about 25 shares, which pay $25 if that outcome wins and $0 if it does not.

Prices and charts

Polymarket resolves these markets against a Chainlink price feed — a 60-second time-weighted average, which is deliberately hard to manipulate. That feed is the only price that decides whether you win.

The chart draws Binance candles, because Binance gives a proper candle history and a smooth live stream, and then continuously rescales them onto the Chainlink level so the chart and the settlement price agree. The horizontal line marked Window open is the Chainlink reference price captured at the moment the current interval opened — the level your position has to beat. Our server records it independently every minute, so it is correct even if you open the page in the middle of an interval.

The chart is a visual aid. Minor differences between a candle wick and the Chainlink feed are normal and do not change the outcome; only the Chainlink reference price at the end of the interval does.

Settlement and payout

When the interval ends, Polymarket resolves the market against the Chainlink reference price and pays out automatically. There is nothing for you to click.

StatusWhat it means
WonYour outcome is correct. Each share pays $1.00. The payout arrives in your trading wallet automatically, normally within 20–90 seconds of the interval closing.
LostYour outcome is wrong. The shares settle at $0.00 and the position closes itself. Nothing further is owed or charged — your loss is limited to what you spent on the position.
Settling…The interval has ended and resolution or the balance update is still in flight. This is normal and usually lasts seconds.

Payout is executed by Polymarket, not by BITSBE, and your maximum loss on any position is always the amount you spent to open it. If a winning payout has not arrived a few minutes after the interval closed, the terminal shows a support button — see Support.

Closing a position early

You do not have to wait for the interval to end. While a position is open, the terminal shows a Close button with its current value and your live profit or loss, for example Close $18.40 +$8.40.

Closing sells your shares back into the Polymarket order book at the current market price. The proceeds land in your balance immediately — including when you close at a loss, in which case whatever the shares are still worth is returned to you instead of being lost completely at expiry.

Early close depends on someone being willing to buy at that moment. In a thin book the fill can be partial or the price worse than quoted; in the last seconds before expiry liquidity typically dries up. The figure on the button is the current estimate, not a guarantee.

Withdrawals

  1. Open Withdraw, choose the destination network and token, and enter the amount.
  2. Check the destination address carefully. A transfer to a wrong address cannot be reversed by anyone.
  3. Confirm. The transfer leaves your trading wallet and is processed through Polymarket's bridge.

Withdrawals are available at any time, for the full available balance, with no BITSBE approval step and no BITSBE withdrawal fee — BITSBE cannot block, delay or reverse a withdrawal, because it never holds the funds. Only the destination network fee and Polymarket's own bridge conditions apply.

Fees

CostWho charges itNotes
Builder feeBITSBEThis is how BITSBE earns. It is applied within the limits set by the Polymarket Builder Program and is included in the payout estimate shown before you trade.
Trading feePolymarketCharged by Polymarket on takers, per its current fee schedule. The rate depends on the market category and the price of the share.
Network feeThe blockchainApplies to deposits and withdrawals, not to trades. Polygon is the cheapest route.
Account fee—None. No subscription, no inactivity fee, no withdrawal fee from BITSBE.

The payout estimate under the order ticket always shows what the trade pays if it wins with fees already taken into account, so the number on screen is the number you get.

Polymarket also runs its own volume-based rebate programme that returns part of the trading fee to active traders, and it applies to your Polymarket account automatically — including on volume traded through BITSBE.

Support

Support is handled directly, in English, Russian and Armenian, through Telegram: @Regalconsulting1.

Payouts are automatic, so in normal operation there is nothing to ask for. If a winning position has not paid out a few minutes after the interval closed, a support button appears on that position. Contact us with the asset, the interval and the approximate time, and we will identify the transaction and tell you exactly where it stands. Because settlement happens on Polymarket, some cases have to be escalated to Polymarket support, and we will tell you clearly when that is the case rather than leaving you waiting.

We will never ask you for a seed phrase, a private key or a signature “to release funds”.

Data and privacy

BITSBE stores the minimum needed to run the terminal: your connected wallet address, your derived trading wallet address, your trade records for the history tab, and a session cookie. There is no email, no password, no identity document and no KYC file held by BITSBE.

Technical connection data, including the country reported by the network, is used for the geographic restrictions described above. Note that blockchain activity is public by nature: wallet addresses and transactions are permanently visible on-chain and should not be treated as anonymous.

Risk

Risk of total loss. A position that resolves against you is worth zero. Five- and fifteen-minute markets are fast, and losing streaks are normal. Never commit money you need. Your loss on a position can never exceed what you spent on it, and BITSBE offers no credit, leverage or margin.

Execution risk. Liquidity, price movement, network congestion and third-party service interruptions can affect whether, and at what price, an order fills.

Eligibility. Adults only, and only where trading prediction markets is permitted. The fact that this page loads does not mean you are legally permitted to trade — that is your responsibility to establish.

No advice, no guarantees. Nothing here is personalised investment advice, and no outcome, profit or strategy is promised. Past results do not predict future results.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really Polymarket, or a copy of it?

It is really Polymarket. Your orders go into Polymarket's order book and your positions sit on Polymarket under your own wallet. Open polymarket.com with the same wallet and you will see the identical positions and balance.

Is BITSBE a licensed exchange or broker?

No, and it is neither. BITSBE is a software interface. It holds no client money, runs no order book and settles no contracts. The markets are operated by Polymarket, and your trades are executed there.

Does BITSBE have Polymarket's CFTC licence?

No. That licence belongs to Polymarket's separate U.S. entity, QCX LLC, which runs the regulated U.S. venue. BITSBE connects to Polymarket's international platform, which Polymarket states is not CFTC-regulated and operates independently.

Who holds my money?

You do. Funds sit in your own Polymarket trading wallet, controlled by your own keys. BITSBE cannot move, freeze or access your balance.

Why trade here instead of on Polymarket directly?

Same markets, same liquidity, same prices. BITSBE is stripped down to crypto Up/Down only, with a proper trading chart, a one-click order ticket, the price-to-beat drawn on the chart, live profit and loss on early close, and direct human support. If you prefer Polymarket's full interface, use it — your positions are the same positions.

Do I need to pass KYC?

BITSBE does not collect identity documents. Your access is governed by Polymarket's own requirements and restrictions, which may change.

What is the minimum trade?

$1 per position. The minimum deposit is $2.

Why does my position say “Settling”?

The interval has closed and resolution or the balance refresh is still completing. It normally clears in seconds. Nothing is at risk while it says Settling, and there is nothing you need to press.

Do I have to claim my winnings?

No. Payout is automatic and typically lands within 20–90 seconds. The support button only appears if it has not.

Can I lose more than I put into a trade?

No. Your maximum loss on a position is the amount you spent to open it. There is no leverage, no margin and no negative balance.

Does the chart decide whether I win?

No. The Chainlink reference price at the end of the interval decides. The chart is aligned to it so what you see matches what settles, but the feed is the authority.

How does BITSBE make money?

From the Polymarket Builder fee on trades routed through this interface. BITSBE does not profit from your losses and has no position opposite yours.
