Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

illwill and ex-RUBY are scheduled to meet in a best-of-three Counter-Strike fixture within the CCT Europe Series #4 group stage on 16 June at 07:00 ET. The current crowd-implied probability sits at 0% for illwill, suggesting near-total consensus backing ex-RUBY. Settlement closes at 17:00 UTC the same day, allowing a ten-hour window for the match to conclude.

The 0% reading on illwill reflects either genuine expectation of ex-RUBY dominance or a liquidity artefact in an early-stage market. CCT Europe events typically feature established regional rosters with documented head-to-head records; historical group-stage matches in this format rarely resolve to extreme probabilities unless one team carries substantial recent form disadvantage or roster instability. If illwill has fielded a competitive lineup in prior CCT rounds, a complete absence of backing suggests either recent roster changes, withdrawal from the circuit, or administrative complications that would affect match viability.

Traders should monitor official CCT Europe announcements through 15 June for roster confirmations, schedule amendments, or forfeit declarations. The ten-hour settlement window is tight; any delay beyond 23 June UTC automatically triggers a 50-50 resolution. Verification of both teams' participation status and line-up stability in the days before the fixture is essential, as the extreme probability may reflect uncertainty about whether the match occurs at all rather than pure performance expectation. Recent CCT Europe communications and team social media accounts will signal any last-minute changes affecting fixture integrity.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
