Why Polymarket waitlist?

Polymarket previously had a waitlist for new users during high-demand periods. Why waitlists happen: Platform capacity limits during growth.

Regulatory uncertainty in certain regions. Managing user onboarding. Controlling trading volume.

The waitlist was removed as the platform scaled and regulatory clarity improved. Currently new users can sign up directly without waitlist. The waitlist was a temporary measure during 2020-2022 expansion.
