Polymarket bots: Automated trading on Polymarket

Polymarket bots are automated programs that monitor Polymarket markets and submit orders when predefined conditions appear. Traders use them for intra-market arbitrage (buying complementary outcomes whose best-ask sum is below $1.00) and for execution speed. PolyArb is a production-grade option: non-custodial, live today, $99/month, 40ms latency, Telegram and Discord alerts, and a $7.62 minimum guaranteed edge per trade. Remember that arbitrage involves resolution, slippage, fee, and settlement timing risks.

How Polymarket arbitrage actually works

On Polymarket, outcomes are priced so the fair-value sum across all outcomes equals $1.00. A simple intra-market arbitrage occurs when the sum of best-ask prices for all outcomes is less than $1.00. A bot that buys the complete set (a CTF split) locks a mathematical edge equal to $1.00 minus that sum, minus fees and execution costs.

That edge is only mathematical until you consider practical risks: partial fills, slippage during order execution, UMA resolution delays or disputes, changes to taker fees, and the time needed to merge/redeem outcome tokens. Any bot workflow must handle those contingencies.

What differentiates PolyArb from free bots

PolyArb is a paid, production product built for Polymarket intra-market arbitrage. It advertises 40ms latency versus roughly 800ms for many free bots, a guaranteed minimum edge of $7.62 per trade, and integrated Telegram + Discord alerts. The service is non-custodial — trades execute from your wallet via Polymarket’s Relayer — and runs on Polygon using pUSD.

Speed matters because raw spreads often last seconds. Lower latency reduces race losses and partial fills. Still, no bot eliminates resolution or smart-contract risk; PolyArb reduces execution latency and provides monitoring and notifications to help you act quickly.

Practical setup and operational notes

PolyArb connects to Polymarket via the public APIs and the CLOB; settlement occurs in pUSD on Polygon. You trade from your own wallet (Gnosis Safe or proxy wallets like MetaMask) and Polymarket sponsors gas through its Relayer. Maker fees are zero; taker fees vary by category.

Operationally, watch tick-size changes (0.01 tightening to 0.001 near extremes) and the WebSocket feed for real-time book updates. Build logic for FAK market orders and for handling CTF split/merge/redeem flows so you can lock and settle sets efficiently.

Where bots aren’t a silver bullet

A faster bot improves execution probability but doesn’t remove real risks. UMA disputes can delay or alter settlements, Geo-restrictions may block new orders in certain jurisdictions, and fee schedules can change. Never rely solely on backtests; simulate live conditions and budget for failed trades.

If you’re comparing platforms, note that cross-platform arbitrage (e.g., Polymarket vs PredictIt) is a different workflow and outside PolyArb’s core intra-market focus. PolyArb is designed specifically for Polymarket intra-market arbitrage.
