Banned markets

Markets should price information. Not incentivize harm.

Violent and exploitative markets are permanently banned on Prediity. This is an editorial line we hold regardless of demand.

The bottom line

What we will never list

War and armed-conflict markets
Death and mortality markets
Assassination markets
Kidnapping and hostage markets
Terror-attack markets
Markets on individual violent crimes

Why

Our principles

01

No incentive to harm

A market that pays out when something terrible happens gives someone, somewhere, a financial reason to make it happen. We will never create that incentive.

02

Dignity over volume

Some of these markets would trade heavily. We don't care. Profiting from tragedy is not a business we want, at any price.

03

Enforced at listing

Every market goes through admin review before it can trade. Banned categories are rejected at the door — they never reach the order book.
