Polymarket trading bots
The marketplace for every Polymarket trading bot you'll ever need — from low-risk arbitrage and market making to sports, election and crypto strategies. Compare by reported 30-day ROI and deploy in one click.
PolymTradeBot
Automated Python bot for Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute Bitcoin & Ethereum up/down markets. Trades live or in paper mode with configurable risk controls, self-hosted from full source.
norm1e69
Self-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute crypto Up or Down windows, sold as full source for a single payment and named after the public Polymarket account its seller points to as proof. It does not predict direction: it buys both Up and Down through each window on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, mostly at the ask, holds every position to settlement and redeems the winnings. By the vendor's own breakdown the timing of those buys roughly pays the taker fee, and more than half of the net comes from Polymarket's fee rebates at a high volume tier. Paper mode, a daily loss limit, an exposure cap and Telegram reports are built in.
Octagon
AI research for Kalshi and Polymarket, with an open-source command-line client that trades on Kalshi. For every active contract Octagon publishes a research report that sets its model's probability against the live price — a short answer, the drivers behind recent moves, cited sources, a price chart and past resolutions — and the reports are free to read on the site. Subscribers get the same engine through an API, an MCP server and the Kalshi Trading Bot CLI: an MIT-licensed terminal app that runs deep research on a market, computes the gap between model and book, sizes it at half-Kelly through a five-gate risk check and places the order from your own Kalshi account. Octagon AI Inc. was founded in 2023 by Ken So and says it is backed by AI Fund, Andrew Ng's venture firm.
Kalshi AI Trading Bot
Open-source Python toolkit for automated trading on Kalshi, built around the question most bot repos skip: do you actually beat the book? An LLM reads each candidate market with a news summary, scores a probability through any model on OpenRouter, and the trade is sized at quarter-Kelly under a risk governor with a daily-loss limit and a drawdown kill switch. Every decision goes into a local journal; the edge harness then pulls Kalshi's own settlements, scores your settled trades by Brier score, log-loss and realised win rate against the price you paid, and refuses to call it an edge on fewer than ten trades that resolved after you bought. A policy step turns that record into a pre-trade gate that blocks categories you have lost money in. Ships a paper mode, a Streamlit dashboard, a Claude skill and an MCP server; MIT-licensed at github.com/ryanfrigo/kalshi-ai-trading-bot.
PolyTraderBot
Six self-hosted Polymarket bots from one developer, sold separately at $10 a month each and delivered as full source with a browser dashboard, tests and a Docker setup for your own PC or VPS. CopyBot follows wallets you choose, or candidates it ranks from Polymarket's public leaderboard, with fixed, proportional or Kelly-fraction sizing, ten-plus individually switchable guards and exits that follow the leader out. Crypto5min and Crypto15min trade the 5- and 15-minute up/down windows on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB and HYPE from tree-based models retrained every 60 or 90 minutes. ARB scans the order books for binary YES and NO asks that sum to less than $1 after fees. WeatherBot prices temperature buckets from a weighted blend of Open-Meteo models, NWS, NOAA and Met.no forecasts and compares the result with the live asks. PolyLiq rests two-sided quotes in the markets that pay Polymarket's liquidity rewards, or takes over the resting orders you placed yourself. Every bot starts with real orders switched off, keeps the wallet key in a local env file and, from the current releases, updates itself from its own dashboard. The vendor advertises no returns; a free Polymarket terminal from the same developer is in beta on the same domain.
Pulse Market
Web terminal for Polymarket's own markets and order books, built around the way in and the record after rather than any strategy: sign in with an email code or Google, fund a Polygon trading account with USDC or USDT from six networks from $10, and trade with no gas to pay. The Screener puts every tradable market into one table — price, 1h and 24h change, spread, 24h and all-time volume, depth, close time and match start — with range filters on each column, a topic filter and five presets: All markets, Undecided at 40–60¢, Top movers, Live now and Closing soon. The trade panel takes market orders and a beta limit mode with an expiry, shows the book and spread underneath and folds the fees into the total before you confirm. Analytics covers your own trades: realized and unrealized P&L by day, win rate, average stake, time in trade for wins and for losses, best and worst trade, and a Price vs. win block that sets your entry prices against how often you actually won. Pulse Points accrue per trade; rule-based automation, an AI assistant and API trading are marked coming soon. A verified Polymarket builder, paid through Polymarket's builder-fee registry at 0.5% per fill.
Olympus
Polymarket web terminal built around copy trading that keeps running on Olympus's servers after you close the tab. Every followed wallet gets its own ratio, trade and market caps, odds, liquidity and volume filters, a price-deviation guard and a limit mode that buys at the leader's own fill price, with stop-loss, take-profit, counter-trading and combo copying; a backtest replays the leader's history through those exact settings first, and separate trading wallets keep strategies apart. Around the copier: a manual terminal with a sports hub, crypto price windows, combos and TP/SL on any position; Bonds, which ranks every outcome priced 97¢ or more by what it pays after fees, and Autobond, which buys them inside a budget and a loss limit; an LP Rewards desk that places maker orders on Polymarket's reward markets; Polymarket Perps to 20x and Dimes Multiply positions to 10x; and a REST trading API with wallet-scoped keys. The base fee is 0.75% per executed trade, sliding toward zero at extreme prices. Built by the team behind SOL Decoder and Valhalla.
Miramarket
No-code builder for conditional Polymarket strategies: lay out markets, conditions and actions on a canvas or describe them in plain English, simulate, then Run Live. Conditions watch a price, ROI or P&L threshold, a time before close or a date, or how a market resolves; actions buy a YES or NO side, hold, or send their share back to the wallet, with allocations that must add up to 100%. Eleven templates cover take-profit and entry ladders, bracket and reversal exits, barbells that pair a conviction leg with a protective one, and bolt-ons that trade one market off a catalyst or a move in another; a recurring filter keeps an action pointed at the live window of a repeating market series. The AI assistant drafts, explains and edits the tree, and a CLI on npm posts the same strategies as JSON from a terminal or an AI coding agent. Accounts run on Privy wallets you delegate to Miramarket, so a live run can sign while you are away.
Up or Down BTC
Call Bitcoin up or down and find out in five minutes. A round is one public Binance BTCUSDT candle — its open is the price to beat, its close decides it — so there is nothing to install, no wallet to connect and no bot to keep alive: you tap a side and watch the chart. Prices move with the market while the round runs, so a side that falls behind gets cheap and pays multiples if the last minutes turn, and the exact payout sits on the button before you tap. Start on a 25 USDT welcome balance without even making an account, stake from 1 USDT, and top up later in about 200 coins.
Kairos
Cross-venue trading terminal that merges Kalshi, Polymarket and Predict.fun into one order book. Matching contracts on different exchanges are shown as a single instrument with a composite ladder and a global best bid and offer, so you can see which venue is actually cheapest before you send, and an order to the NBBO endpoint routes to whichever book shows that price. Feeds are ingested next to the venues and merged in the browser with no polling interval; the ticket carries GTC, GTD, FOK, FAK and IOC time-in-force, post-only and slippage caps, with batch cancel and a per-venue kill switch. A bots panel runs parameterised templates — market making, cross-venue arbitrage, dip buying — against recorded books first and promotes the same config to live. The same engine is exposed as a REST and WebSocket API with scoped keys, IP whitelisting and a free read-only market-data tier. Built by a team from high-frequency trading firms and exchanges and backed by a $2.5M seed led by a16z.
PredictEngine
No-code bot builder that hosts and runs Polymarket strategies for you. You describe a rule in plain English — “buy BTC UP when it dips below $0.40” — or pick a template, and the platform writes the bot, provisions a dedicated Polygon wallet, signs the orders and keeps it running 24/7 on its own infrastructure, with a dashboard, a Discord bot and a mobile terminal to watch it. Templates cover single-side entries, cross-market arbitrage, copy trading that mirrors chosen wallets, market making and sports value against bookmaker lines; a marketplace lets users publish bots for others to run. The free plan runs five live bots; $9 a month unlocks the AI builder, 25 bots and backtesting; $49 adds an unlimited builder and 25% lower trading fees. The docs list Limitless and Predict.fun alongside Polymarket. The wallet is generated and encrypted on their side and the private key is exportable at any time.
PolyCop
Telegram copy-trading bot with a public smart-money radar behind it. In the bot, Copy Trade mirrors any target wallet's buys and sells under your sizing, price and amount filters, with a sub-wallet per target if you want each leader trading from isolated funds; Sniper Mode rests limit orders at your price; AFK Auto Trade scans markets every five minutes and fires when your trigger conditions line up, with templates to start from; an AI wallet check grades any address you paste. PolyCop.fun, the web side, ranks wallets by copyable P&L, win rate, slippage and recent-20 record, and its Copy Backtest replays a wallet's history against your capital, copy percentage, slippage and filters, with a time-machine view of the equity curve. Fees are a flat 0.5% per transaction with gas covered, including auto-redeem of settled markets. Polymarket's own builders Data API puts PolyCop at $360M attributed all-time across 12,661 users, $19.4M in August and $6.0M in the first half of September, rank 12 for the month when we checked.
Kreo
Telegram bots for Polymarket and Kalshi built around copy trading. Each copy task follows one wallet with its own buy mode — fixed amount, exact copy, a percentage of the leader's size or portfolio-weighted — under minimum and maximum buy, daily, total and per-market spend caps, category and price-range filters, slippage tolerance, stop-loss and take-profit, a monitoring mode that watches without buying, and a schedule; bulk settings edit dozens of tasks at once. Auto Trade runs rule-based entries on the crypto Up/Down windows and on sports, with presets, an auto-hedge that takes the other side when the pair is net-positive after fees, and up to 10x on selected markets. Around it: a wallet tracker, unusual-activity and new-market alerts, charts, parlays, and a backtest and portfolio lookup. Polymarket wallets are Gnosis Safes secured by Privy enclaves with the owner key exportable; deposits by crypto or card. Fees follow a bell curve per share, from 0.3¢ at the extremes to 1.75¢ at 50/50, with cashback tiers.
PolyGun
Telegram bot for trading Polymarket without a browser: browse markets, buy and sell instantly, set limit orders, copy wallets and track the portfolio from one chat. On /start the bot generates a Polygon wallet for you, and deposits auto-bridge from Polygon, Solana, Ethereum and BNB. Copy trading follows any wallet and mirrors its entries and exits under your own settings, a Smart Wallets tab lists the most-copied addresses, and shareable P&L cards are built in. PolyGun charges a flat 1% on every buy and sell, sponsors gas, and pays referrers a share of fees. It sits on one of the larger Telegram communities in the space — the Prediction Desk group behind it had 25,635 members when we checked — and Polymarket's own builders Data API attributes $117.6M to it all-time across 9,905 users, though the monthly run rate has fallen from $18.3M in April to $2.6M in August and $0.8M in the first half of September.
POLYDESK
Desktop click-trading cockpit for Polymarket from itereon GmbH in Vienna: a one-click price ladder and a grid view in the style of exchange trading tools, with stake presets, quick take and quick cancel, hotkeys, live depth minimaps, cash-out and exposure figures, position and P&L tracking and a session log. It runs on your own Windows or Apple Silicon machine and talks to Polymarket directly — the signer key is generated and stored locally and signs every order on-device, with no itereon server in the path. An ARMED / DISARMED toggle and a red CANCEL ALL sit in the top bar, and paper mode trades the full cockpit against live data with simulated fills. Free for life with live trading included under size caps — $25 stake, $100 exposure and five open orders per market — and no builder fee; a flat Plus licence will lift the caps. Open beta since September 2026, closed-source, shipped as checksummed GitHub releases.
Poly Sniper
Four self-hosted bots for Polymarket's 15-minute crypto windows — BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP — sold per coin and capped at fifty seats each. You rent a small Linux VPS outside the US, unpack a package of compiled Python 3.14 modules built for your CPU, and enter per-coin licence keys plus your Polymarket wallet credentials in a dashboard that runs on localhost; the credentials stay in a local .env and the bot connects outbound to Polymarket, a Polygon RPC, the vendor's signal server and its licence server. Every coin starts in demo mode with real data and virtual positions, and you flip it to live yourself. Basic runs the strategy; Premium adds one-second order-book updates, 2x and 3x signal multipliers, entry-price filters and a daily digest. The results page shows 138 days, 3,455 closed trades, a 54.6% win rate and +$3,501 on $2,000 — self-reported, with the caveats below.
CloddsBot
Open-source AI trading agent that runs on your own machine and takes orders in natural language over Telegram, Discord, WebChat and eighteen other channels. Powered by Claude, it covers ten prediction markets — Polymarket, Kalshi, Betfair, Smarkets, Drift, Manifold, Metaculus, PredictIt, Opinion.xyz and Predict.fun — plus perpetual-futures exchanges and Solana and EVM DeFi. The Polymarket layer is real code rather than a wrapper: an EIP-712 order signer with unit tests, a CLOB client exposing 60-plus methods, real-time data and user WebSocket feeds, a large-trade tracker, and round-based discovery of the 5-minute BTC and the 15-minute, hourly, 4-hour and daily crypto windows with four automated strategies, alongside cross-venue arbitrage detection, copy trading and DCA bots. MIT-licensed at github.com/alsk1992/CloddsBot: 2,700 stars, 460-plus commits from one primary author, v1.9.1 released Sep 12, 2026, installed with one npm command on Node 22.
Sonist
Mention-market trading software that listens to a live broadcast and buys the contract the moment a tracked word is said. Sonist pulls the mention markets from Kalshi and Polymarket onto one board — 53 approved events the day we checked it, 36 on Kalshi and 17 on Polymarket — each contract already carrying its keywords, its aliases and the count that settles it. Point a session at a stream URL, your microphone or your device audio and Sonist transcribes word by word; when a keyword clears its threshold it fires an immediate-or-cancel order on your own exchange account, under a contract cap and a maximum price in cents that you set before the session starts. The board re-marks over a websocket as the book moves, every detection and every skipped signal is logged with its reason, and one control flattens the position. Pro adds local speaker diarization, so a mention only counts when the voice that matters says it — the Fed governor rather than the anchor quoting him.
PolyWin
Telegram bot that puts the whole Polymarket workflow in one chat: copy trading, two snipers, backtests and AI trader discovery. Copy Trade mirrors — or counter-trades — any wallet you pick, sized as a fixed USD amount, a percentage of the leader’s stake, or portfolio-weighted so your allocation matches theirs with a 0.01–10× multiplier, under category, price-range, market-volume and daily-spend limits with take-profit and stop-loss on every copied fill. Final Snipe fires a market order the second your entry conditions pass; Reversal Snipe ladders limit orders into an overreaction and cancels unfilled rungs about five seconds before resolution — both across BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE and HYPE on 5m, 15m, 1h and 4h. Every snipe strategy can be backtested against a pre-computed pool of parameter combinations first, returning Most Profitable, Fast and Safest variants. AI Picks re-scores Polymarket traders every six hours, discarding wallets that show wash trading or leaderboard farming. Non-custodial: a Polygon wallet is deployed on first start, keys are encrypted per wallet and exportable, and TOTP 2FA gates withdrawals and key exports. No KYC, and deposits from ten chains auto-bridge to USDC.
OVERROUND
Analytics platform that ranks public Polymarket wallets by skill-adjusted accuracy instead of profit. Every resolved position is graded against the price the wallet actually paid — a 30¢ winner counts as a win the market already priced at 30% — and scores are computed over independent resolved events, so neither a hot streak nor a hundred legs of the same question can pass as a track record. 484,966 wallet-category records across 61 boards, a free checker that returns a verdict with a 95% interval on whether any wallet's record is distinguishable from luck, and alerts on email and Telegram within minutes when a tracked forecaster changes position. Every alert it has ever sent is graded in public with losses left on the page: 409–245 on 654 resolved markets when we listed it.
Kuest
Open-source white-label infrastructure for launching your own Polymarket-style exchange — the team calls it the Shopify for prediction markets. A guided no-code flow takes a branded site live in about 15 minutes on your own domain, with shared liquidity synced from live Polymarket order flow so the books aren't empty on day one, and a 0.5–3% per-trade fee you set yourself, paid straight to your wallet. Runs on Polygon with USDC settlement, ships Python and Rust SDKs compatible with existing Polymarket tooling, and the entire TypeScript stack is public on GitHub with 1,000+ stars.
EventArb
Free cross-platform arbitrage calculator for event contracts. Punch in YES/NO prices for the same event on Polymarket, Kalshi or Robinhood and it does the math each venue's fee schedule implies — whether buying opposite sides locks in a profit, what the spread nets after fees, and the opportunity cost of parking capital until resolution. Supports binary and multiple-choice markets, side-by-side venue comparison, shareable links and free email notifications when opportunities open.
Polymarket Markets Data
Community Dune dashboard that tables every Polymarket event, market and answer — USD volume by month and by day, active-wallet counts, and full drill-down tables — sourced from Polymarket's Gamma API through a materialized view refreshed daily. Dune's own blog featured it as the showcase for LiveFetch queries. Every underlying SQL query is public: fork it on Dune and build your own screens on top.
Uruguabot
Self-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's 5-minute BTC and ETH up/down markets, sold with its complete live trading record — losses included. A free GitHub repo publishes every fill from two generations of testing plus a 1,934-window study in which every automated signal scored roughly coin-flip against the human's 59%; the published numbers reproduce exactly from the raw CSVs, though the logs omit market ids, so the record is self-attested rather than on-chain verifiable. Both generations together lost about $270 — mostly execution and a since-fixed ghost-fill bug — while the configuration that ships as default closed its live run at +7.3% ROI on a 40% win rate over a small 25-trade sample: momentum entries, stop re-anchored to execution price minus 10¢, winners held to binary resolution. Dry-run is the default, with fills simulated from slippage measured on real trades; live mode takes two explicit flags and a dedicated wallet.
Virae AI
AI trading terminal for Polymarket, in private beta: market discovery with live trending topics and order-book prices, a whale leaderboard ranking tracked wallets by PnL, volume, win rate and Sharpe with one-click copy tasks, and seven trading Agents across four strategy types — end-of-round BTC/ETH price-distance, pre-market maker ladders, weather-model probabilities and Musk tweet counts. Agents watch every eligible round and only place orders when sizing, liquidity and entry rules all pass; each ships with recorded paper performance clearly labelled as simulation, and the strategy-evaluation core is open source on GitHub. Turnkey-backed non-custodial wallets, web app plus Telegram bots, and a separate Solana memecoin terminal.
PredMart
Margin account for prediction markets. Open a position on any of 10,000+ markets with up to 5x leverage, or post prediction-market shares you already hold as collateral and borrow up to 80% of their value in USDC without selling them. USDC lenders supply the other side and earn the borrow interest. Non-custodial smart contracts on Base, audited by Hashlock, with no KYC and no account creation — you connect a wallet and trade. Still labelled beta.
PillarLab
AI market analyzer for Kalshi and Polymarket. Paste a market URL and it pulls live market data plus four or five parallel intelligence sources, then returns a nine-pillar breakdown and a Best Trade call with an edge estimate in about 30 seconds. The nine pillars are tailored per category: Vegas lines, line movement and injury reports for sports; GFS/ECMWF/NWS forecast consensus and ensemble spread for weather; polls-versus-odds divergence for politics; technicals, institutional flows and macro for finance. Every category ends on a contrarian check.
SpeechTerminal
Transcript search built for mention markets — the ones asking how many times a speaker will say a given word. Search thousands of verified transcripts from politicians, Fed officials and CEOs, chart how often a phrase has been used over time, and read the surrounding context before pricing the next appearance. Covers Trump, Powell, Leavitt, Hegseth, Vance, Hassett and other figures plus corporate earnings calls, with an archive running from January 2026 forward and historical coverage still being backfilled.
Ratio
Social prediction-market app for iOS and Android built around copying Polymarket traders. Browse markets, follow forecasters from a global leaderboard, mirror their positions with your own sizing, and read the reasoning they post next to each trade. Wallet tracking, alerts and portfolio analytics sit alongside the feed. The wallet is self-custodial — you hold the keys and can export them — and every trade settles on Polymarket itself, not on Ratio's infrastructure.
Infinity
A full trading terminal inside Telegram, covering two venues at once: Polymarket prediction markets on the live CLOB order book, and Hyperliquid perps and spot — plus copy-trading on top. There is no baked-in strategy; Infinity is the execution layer, so you decide and it fills. Each account gets its own dedicated wallet per venue, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest and exportable at any time. Written in Rust, translated into 8 languages, and running on mainnet with on-chain fills anyone can verify.
PolyPilot
PolyPilot scans eligible Polymarket crypto markets, estimates probability, checks executable prices and liquidity, applies account controls, and manages positions from an always-on worker. Users control status, positions, pause, resume and support from Telegram. A dedicated Polymarket wallet is provisioned for the user; its encrypted private key is exportable. No profit guarantee.
Polypick
AI edge-finder for prediction markets. Drop in any market — or a screenshot of one — and Polypick reads the latest news and data to call the side with an edge in under 10 seconds, with a plain-English rationale and a risk score. Adds curated daily picks, copy signals from winning wallets and real-time alerts when odds shift. Analysis only — non-custodial, it never touches your funds.
Almanac
Prediction market that pays for being right early. Almanac routes yield to traders who commit to positions well before resolution — time-weighted scoring gives higher multipliers the earlier the call, consistency premiums reward accuracy held across horizons. Covers macro, policy, regulatory and election outcomes, with an institutional signal API on the way.
Poly Helper
Browser extension that upgrades Polymarket without leaving its interface — 25+ context panels: live crypto and stock stats, sports intel with live scores, bookmaker odds comparison across 19 sportsbooks with automatic edge detection, polls vs market price on election events, top-holders PnL, a tracker to follow top traders, breaking-news X feed, LP-rewards calculator and TradingView-style charts. Polymarket Builders Badge — supported and approved by Polymarket.
Trepa
Precision-prediction game on Solana. Instead of betting yes/no, you point to exactly where a value will land — the closer your call, the bigger your share of the pool. Flash Pools run daily (1–2 PM UTC) with $1 entries, one-minute rounds, a precision-score leaderboard and a humans-vs-bots arena where you can deploy your own AI agent. Audited by Adevar Labs and Phage Security.
Predict & Profit
Self-hosted Python suite for Kalshi weather and inflation markets — two bots, a monitoring dashboard and one shared risk engine, installed and managed as a single system. Version 3.0 prices temperature contracts from NOAA's National Blend of Models, the calibrated station-level guidance published for exactly the stations Kalshi settles on, at 0.75 weight; GFS, AIGEFS, ECMWF IFS, AIFS and HRRR hold the remaining 0.25 as a disagreement check rather than as the model. Settlement stations come from Kalshi's own series metadata across 20 cities — Chicago settles on Midway, Houston on Hobby — and any market NBM does not cover is skipped, which rules out every same-day contract, because NBM coverage starts at forecast hour 24. The inflation half scores CPI, Core CPI and PCE against the Cleveland Fed's nowcast and an internal weighted one. Candidates then pass a four-signal gate — spread 30%, volume 20%, order-book imbalance 25%, model mispricing 25% — and the author says over 95% of scanned contracts are rejected. There is no public performance record: the trade log the earlier version published was retired with 3.0, and the site now publishes release and validation status instead of a P&L scoreboard.
PolyData
Analytics workspace and trading terminal for Polymarket. Track positions, liquidity and market flow in real time, analyze any wallet's PnL, exposure and win rate from live on-chain data, rank top traders on a leaderboard, and execute in a focused terminal — from market signal to order entry in one place.

It is not an exchange — you connect the wallet you already trade with, orders go into Polymarket's book carrying Betmoar's builder code and settle on Polygon — but the screen shows what polymarket.com does not: top holders and position delta per market, profit analysis that separates winners from wash traders, a real-time news terminal sourced from X and Truth Social with text-to-speech alerts, a live UMA dispute dashboard with vote reveals and large unrevealed voters, a resolution calendar, and a bookmaker-style sports grid with moneyline, spread and total prices in cents or decimal odds. The Discord bot puts the same trading and market cards inside community servers; Betmoar says it powers Polymarket's official server and 100-plus others.

The home of Polymarket trading bots
POLBOTS is the curated marketplace for Polymarket trading bots — 123+ tools for automating prediction-market strategies, gathered from GitHub, Discord and the open web into a single comparable catalog. Every listing shows the bot's strategy, pricing and risk profile, plus the 30-day ROI its author publishes, so you can judge an edge before you fund it.
Low-risk, always-on edge
Arbitrage bots close price gaps between correlated markets, and market-making bots earn the spread by quoting both sides of an order book. These strategies grind out small, consistent returns around the clock — the closest thing prediction markets have to a passive edge.
Event-driven strategies
Sports-trading bots react to live games in milliseconds, election bots trade polls and order-flow momentum, and sentiment bots position on breaking news before the market catches up — with crypto-market bots covering everything from BTC price targets to protocol milestones.
Copy, compare, deploy
Not ready to pick a strategy? Copy-trading bots mirror wallets with a proven track record using your own sizing and risk limits. When you find a fit, the full catalog of Polymarket trading bots lets you compare pricing and reported ROI side by side before you deploy.

View botsOr browse by what matters to you
Everything in the catalog that you can start using without paying, sorted by what "free" actually means here — because an open-source bot you self-host, a free tier with a Pro plan behind it and a terminal that takes 1% of every trade are three different deals.
Browse the listBots whose code you can read before you trust it with your keys. Two groups: free repositories under open-source licences, and bots sold once with the full source included — no licence server, no subscription, nothing that stops working if the author does.
Browse the list19 listings for the recurring "BTC up or down" windows — the 5-minute and 15-minute Bitcoin markets and their ETH and hourly cousins. 18 of them are Polymarket bots, split into the ones built for nothing else and the multi-market platforms that bolt a minute-market module on; the last group is the venues that run the window themselves, where you tap a side instead of hosting anything. Compare by window, execution style and what record the author actually publishes.
Browse the list24 listings that work with Kalshi, the CFTC-regulated event-contract exchange. 9 of them trade for you — open-source toolkits, hosted strategy bots, AI agents and automatic copiers — and the rest are terminals you trade from by hand and the research, data and arbitrage tools that read Kalshi's books. Most also cover Polymarket; the markets line on each card says which venues it reaches.
Browse the listHow to choose a Polymarket trading bot
Every bot in this directory is listed with its strategy, pricing and — where published — 30-day ROI. Before you deploy real capital, run any candidate through these four checks.
1. Match the strategy to your risk tolerance
Arbitrage and market-making bots grind out small, consistent edges with limited downside. Sports, election and momentum strategies chase bigger returns and swing harder in both directions. Pick the category that fits how much drawdown you can actually sit through.
2. Demand verifiable performance
A backtest screenshot is not a track record. Favor bots that publish live results, expose the wallet they trade from, or offer a paper-trading mode so you can watch them work before funding them. Listings without published performance are marked N/A here — treat that as a signal, not a formality.
3. Prefer non-custodial, source-available bots
The safest bots run on your own machine or server with API keys that never leave your wallet. Open or purchasable source code means you can audit exactly what the bot does with your funds — and keep running it if the author disappears.
4. Understand the true cost
Bots are priced as one-time purchases, monthly subscriptions or profit shares. Work out the break-even: a $50/month subscription needs to clear $600 a year over what you would make manually. One-time pricing with full source usually wins for long-term use.
Guides: how Polymarket bots actually work
Before you pick a bot — how the API works, what is allowed, what each strategy pays, and how to run one without losing your keys. Written by the people who keep the catalog.

6 minAug 21, 2026Frequently asked questions
- What is a Polymarket trading bot?
- A Polymarket trading bot is software that automatically places and manages orders on Polymarket prediction markets — reacting to price, news or order flow far faster than a human trader, 24/7.
- Which type of Polymarket bot is right for me?
- It depends on your goal and risk tolerance. Arbitrage and market-making bots aim for low-risk, consistent edge, while sports, election and momentum bots chase higher returns with more volatility. Browse the catalog by category to compare.
- Are these Polymarket bots safe to use?
- Most bots listed here run non-custodial — your API keys and funds stay in your own wallet. Always review each bot's strategy, risk controls and source availability before deploying real capital.
- Why not a hosted web panel for non-programmers, instead of running a bot on my own PC or VPS?
- Because a hosted panel would have to hold your signer key or API credentials on someone else's server — and whoever holds those can trade your balance, or with the signer key move it. However polished the dashboard, that is custody. Running the bot on your own PC or a small VPS keeps the keys on a machine only you control, talking to Polymarket directly with nobody in between. And it is less technical than it sounds: most self-hosted bots here install like any app and are set up through a config file, no coding required.
- How is ROI measured?
- Where available, we show the 30-day return on investment that a bot's author publishes. POLBOTS does not independently verify performance — bots without published numbers are marked N/A rather than shown with an invented figure.
- Are trading bots allowed on Polymarket?
- Yes. Polymarket exposes a public CLOB API and its documentation explicitly supports programmatic trading. Whether you can access Polymarket itself depends on your jurisdiction — the same restrictions apply to bots as to manual trading.
- How much does a Polymarket bot cost?
- Pricing ranges from free open-source projects you self-host to one-time purchases and monthly subscriptions. Each listing shows its pricing model, so you can weigh the cost against the bot's published performance before committing.
- How much capital do I need to start?
- Many strategies run from a few hundred dollars, though arbitrage and market-making returns scale with capital. Where a bot offers a paper-trading mode, start there and only fund it with money you can afford to lose.
- Can I list my own bot on POLBOTS?
- Yes — submit it through the listing form and we review it for the directory. Bots with published performance, clear pricing and available source code get reviewed fastest.
Free to browse, open to builders
The directory is free to use and updated as new bots ship. Most listed bots run non-custodial — your API keys and funds never leave your own wallet — and each listing links straight to the author's site or repository. Building your own? Submit your bot and put it in front of traders already searching for it.
