Bot for Polymarket
Three categories (not a ranking of logos)
| Category | What you get | What to demand |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS / no-code builders | UI, hosted runners | Custody model, paper mode, residency support, kill switch |
| Telegram signal bots | Alerts, sometimes auto-trade | Who holds keys? Is “edge” just someone else’s lag? |
| GitHub / DIY | Control, open code | Ops burden, path correctness, fee bugs, secret handling |
Diligence questions (ask every vendor)
- Live PnL outside screenshots — public track record or verifiable fills, not a Discord PNG.
- Residency — does it support the path you are on? See US vs International.
- Keys and custody — who can withdraw? Can you revoke? Are secrets encrypted at rest?
- ToS surface — is the tool scraping a surface that can ban you?
- Paper mode — can you run without live capital? See paper mode & risk.
- Fee model dated — do the inputs match the current venue and market? See US fee guide.
Red flags
- “Works for everyone” with no residency question
- Guaranteed returns or “risk-free arb”
- Keys in a Telegram bot you cannot revoke
- No mention of paper mode or risk limits
- Affiliate table with no custody column
