Important Notice

IGM Prediction Markets provides a platform that allows users to express views on the likelihood of future events by buying and selling positions in prediction markets. The platform is intended for informational and market-based forecasting purposes.

Participation in prediction markets involves financial risk. You should only participate with funds that you can afford to lose. Past market performance, probabilities, or historical outcomes do not guarantee future results.

Users are solely responsible for their own decisions and should obtain independent financial, legal, or tax advice where appropriate before participating.

Prediction Markets vs Traditional Betting

Although prediction markets and sports betting may appear similar, they operate on fundamentally different principles.

Traditional Betting
Traditional betting involves placing a wager with a bookmaker at predetermined odds. The bookmaker accepts the risk, determines the odds, and profits through the built-in margin (overround). Participants cannot generally trade or influence pricing after placing their bet.

Prediction Markets
Prediction markets are markets in which participants buy and sell positions representing the probability of future events occurring. Prices are determined by market participants through supply and demand rather than fixed bookmaker odds.

As new information becomes available, market prices adjust to reflect the collective expectations of participants. Depending on the platform design, participants may be able to enter or exit positions before the event is resolved.

Prediction markets seek to aggregate information from many participants to produce continuously updated probability estimates rather than fixed betting odds.

Risks of Prediction Markets

Participation in prediction markets carries significant risks, including but not limited to:

• Loss of all or part of your investment.
• Market volatility resulting from rapidly changing information.
• Incorrect assumptions or inaccurate forecasting by participants.
• Limited liquidity, which may affect your ability to enter or exit positions.
• Technology interruptions, connectivity failures, or platform downtime.
• Pricing errors or temporary market inefficiencies.
• Regulatory or legislative changes affecting the operation of prediction markets.
• Cybersecurity risks despite reasonable security measures.
• Operational risks associated with third-party technology providers.
• Counterparty or settlement risks where applicable.
• Human error in placing orders or interpreting market information.

Users acknowledge that outcomes are uncertain and that prediction markets should not be regarded as a guaranteed method of generating income.
