Trade Polymarket without a wallet or deposit

To trade on Polymarket directly you need a crypto wallet, a USDC deposit and access from a country where Polymarket allows trading. Prop Hub removes all three: you trade the same Polymarket markets on live prices with our virtual capital, and withdraw real profit in crypto.

What you don't need

• No wallet or keys. You sign up with e-mail or Google — trading happens in your Prop Hub account.
• No deposit on Polymarket. Trades are a simulation on live Polymarket prices and order books; no money is sent to the market.
• No own money at risk. You trade virtual equity. The only real payment is the one-time challenge fee — and you can start without it.

How to start for free

1. Sign up — a welcome account with $100 opens right away. Its profit can be withdrawn once, up to $100.
2. Practice on a demo account: $10,000 with no time limit, under the challenge rules.
3. When you're ready, buy a challenge — the fee is paid in crypto (USDT, USDC and other coins).

What stays the same as on Polymarket

• the same events and outcomes, resolving within 2 days;
• execution against the live order book at the average price;
• the same fee as Polymarket charges on that market — see Polymarket fees and order execution;
• settlement by Polymarket's own result.

Polymarket directly vs Prop Hub

Your first trade in five minutes

2. Open the welcome account — it's created automatically.
3. Pick an event in the Market — sports, crypto up/down, politics and more.
4. Choose an outcome and an amount — the panel shows the price and the possible profit.
5. Track the position in Trades — it settles by Polymarket's result.

Before you buy a challenge

A challenge is a skill test on a virtual account. To pass it, make +30% on the starting balance within the limits: −20% from peak equity, −10% per day, 5% of the starting balance per outcome. Breaking a limit closes the account and the fee isn't refunded — practice on a free account first. See Challenge rules.

The fee is paid in crypto through a payment gateway, and the account opens automatically once the transfer is confirmed. Before the first payout you pass KYC — a document photo and usually a short face check — a few minutes.

Getting money out

On a funded account you keep up to 90% of the profit. Payouts go to your USDT or USDC wallet after identity verification (KYC) — see Payouts.

Trading is open from any country. Real-money withdrawal is unavailable only if your KYC document was issued in a country from our list — it's in Country restrictions.
