Will Polymarket pay out?

Polymarket does pay out winnings to users. How payouts work: Winning shares pay $1 each.

Processing within hours of market resolution. USDC credited to wallet automatically. Can withdraw to external wallet.

However: VPN users risk frozen funds. Account violators may lose access. Unresolved markets tie up funds.

Network fees apply to withdrawals. Most users lose overall (70%+). A small percentage win most money.

Legitimate winnings are paid.
