The ANN impressed me thanks to the whole matrix like theme going for it just like the site design itself. It's not easy at all for decentralized gambling platforms to take off unless they go crazy viral for some or another reason(Polymarket for example).
Liquidity is your major concern obviously. I get the whole 1.75x odds if you win and 0 if you lose. Is the site commission 25% on winning or something since the odds should have been higher? Or is it something else?
Let me explain the real model transparently.
Predium operates as the liquidity provider. Users play against the platform itself, not against each other.
1. User wins - platform pays out 75% on top of their stake. Platform takes a loss on that trade.
2. User loses - platform keeps the stake. That's the platform's revenue + pool.
The 75% payout instead of 100% is not a commission - it's a mathematical buffer that prevents arbitrage. Without it, a user could stake on both UP and DOWN simultaneously and guarantee a profit regardless of outcome. The reduced payout makes that impossible. So the platform profits when users lose, and pays out when users win. Simple, transparent, and there are no hidden mechanics.
This is the same model used by every binary options and prediction platform in existence.
One more important distinction: while the model resembles binary options, we are fundamentally different from traditional binary options platforms like Pocket Option or similar:
- KYC & bans: they require full identity verification and actively ban profitable traders. We have zero KYC and no restrictions based on your performance. We do not ban users if they win consistently, as an example.
- Withdrawals: traditional platforms hold withdrawals for up to 3 days. On Predium withdrawals process in 30 seconds to 2 minutes, directly to your wallet.
- OTC pairs: if you use Pocket Option you'll see pairs like BTC/USDT OTC, EUR/USD OTC and so on. Every pair marked OTC uses artificially generated prices but not thebreal market data. Chances of you actually making earnings trading against fabricated prices controlled by the platform itself are not high. We don't have a single OTC pair. Every price and all the market data on Predium come from Pyth Network. What the market says is what you get.
See Predium as a tool, that you can use it anytime, and win or lose - you'll always know the result was fair.
