Prediction Markets vs Betting on Elections
UK law prohibits certain forms of political advertising but does not explicitly ban trading on political outcomes for personal use. Prediction markets operate differently from bookmaker political betting — they are information aggregation tools, not pure gambling products.
Edge: Where Prediction Markets Beat Pollsters
Prediction markets incorporate information faster than polls. After a major political event (scandal, leadership change, economic data), Polymarket prices typically update within minutes — sometimes hours ahead of adjusted poll averages.
