Polymarket platform experiences frequent failures, shaking user confidence.
POLYMARKET’S BIGGEST TRADER JUST POSTED A PUBLIC BREAKDOWN OF THE PLATFORM
› Bugs stay live for weeks, rebates were promised and never paid, and millions have been extracted from real users through platform failures
› Tick size broke after an update 1.5 weeks ago — still broken. RTDS feed marked “resolved” — still broken. Silent rollouts, zero documentation, support that never responds
› The fee tier system was supposed to launch May 28. A week late, no acknowledgment, no back‑pay for missed rebates
› Exploits multiplied: queue jumps, ghost fills, taker delay bypasses, order spam; all enabled by broken infrastructure. The fix? Higher rate limits
› @Kalshi is now outperforming @Polymarket in categories it used to dominate. Volume is down two consecutive months. Prediction markets overall are growing
