Experten warnen, dass die Entwicklung des Prognosemarkts hin zur internen Marktgestaltung die Grenze zu Sportwetten verwischen und die Neutralität der Plattform untergraben könnte.

I think this could kill the brand entirely
The whole reason Polymarket became interesting in the first place was that it’s 100% crowd driven
everyone wants to be a market maker
be a neutral middle man that essentially just collects fees, like skimming from the top
out of the main services in the economy, it’s got to be one of the top functions that makes most obvious sense to socialize its profits, especially after considering the direction of popular cultures the last two decades (towards further centralization) in consideration of the power imbalance
basically it’s just too easy to make money with once you get it down right and should be integrated into a higher function for society at large, not just the few at the top who benefit from the commercial liquidity created, that they can then gear towards their own bottom line
This wouldnt be legal in any normal exchange setting as this is seen as insider trading and not being neutral to its own stance. Ah well
