Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

AM Gaming and ex-RUBY are scheduled to compete in a best-of-three Counter-Strike match during the CCT Europe Series 3 Playoffs on 4 June 2026 at 1:00 PM ET. The market currently reflects 51 per cent implied probability for AM Gaming victory, suggesting near-parity in trader assessment. Settlement occurs at 23:00 UTC on the same day, allowing a 22-hour window for match completion and result confirmation. Ties, cancellations, or delays exceeding seven days without resolution trigger a 50-50 split.

CCT Europe tournaments have established a track record of reliable scheduling and completion within announced windows. AM Gaming and ex-RUBY represent mid-tier European rosters with inconsistent recent form; comparable fixtures between similarly-ranked teams in CCT qualifying rounds have historically favoured slight home-region advantages and map-pool compatibility rather than raw ranking. The 51 per cent probability suggests traders view this as a genuine toss-up, consistent with matches where neither team commands a clear structural edge.

Traders should monitor official CCT communications for any scheduling changes, player roster confirmations, or technical delays that might affect the 7-day resolution threshold. Recent CCT Europe broadcasts have maintained punctuality, though individual match delays of 2–4 hours remain common. Regulatory access to this market depends on jurisdiction: German traders face GlüStV restrictions on unlicensed prediction markets; US traders may encounter CFTC reach determinations depending on platform registration. No-KYC access up to $1,500 typically applies to non-US, non-German jurisdictions, though individual platform terms vary.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.

FAQ

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

How fast are USDC deposits?

Polygon credits deposits after 12 confirmations — usually under 30 seconds. Withdrawals follow the same path and land back in your wallet within minutes.

Do I need to KYC for this market?

Not under $1,500 of lifetime trading volume. Above that threshold, Polymarket Legal UK triggers a quick verification flow that finishes in minutes.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
