4. Deposit $10 or more. Fund your account in US dollars. A $10+ deposit with code TXPREDICTS unlocks the $25 trading bonus under Polymarket's terms.
5. Buy YES or NO. Pick a market (politics, sports, culture, economics) and enter how many shares you want. The app shows the total cost and any fee before you confirm.
6. Withdraw. Sell your position or wait for the market to resolve, then withdraw your dollar balance to your bank from the app.

Your first trade — example

Say it's an NFL Sunday and Polymarket lists "Will the Cowboys win this week?" at 45¢ YES. You like the Cowboys. Buy 50 YES shares at 45¢ = $22.50, plus any trading fee the app shows. If they win, each share pays $1 — you collect $50.00. Profit: $27.50 before fees. Same model works for elections, the Oscars, weather, and the World Cup. See live Cowboys Super Bowl odds.
