Polymarket lists political markets as binary or multi-outcome events; the CA governor race is typically a binary YES/NO market with prices that sum to $1.00 at fair value.

Where to find the CA governor market on Polymarket

Use Polymarket’s Gamma API or the web interface to search the markets list for tags or the phrase "CA governor." Gamma’s /markets endpoint supports filters like tag_id and order fields such as volume or endDate. If you prefer real-time book data, the Market WebSocket provides live best_bid_ask and last_trade_price events for subscribed instruments. If you’re trading directly, remember Polymarket uses pUSD on Polygon and the CLOB matching engine. Outcomes trade as ERC-1155 tokens under the Gnosis Conditional Token Framework; binary markets use YES and NO tokens whose fair prices sum to $1.00.

Geographic and regulatory limits you must mind

Polymarket geo-blocks orders by IP. The United States is blocked from polymarket.com for new orders; a separate CFTC-regulated pathway exists with KYC. Other countries are fully blocked or close-only — do not attempt VPN workarounds; that violates Polymarket’s Terms of Service. If you cannot place new orders, you can still research market books and historical trades through the public Gamma and Data APIs to prepare strategies or backtest arbitrage setups.

How arbitrage looks in a CA governor market

Intra-market binary arbitrage occurs when bestAsk(YES) + bestAsk(NO) < $1.00. Buying both legs mints a complete set and locks a mathematical edge equal to $1.00 minus that sum. That edge must be weighed against fees, slippage, execution risk, and UMA resolution disputes before treating a trade as effectively risk-defined. PolyArb automates detection and execution of these cases, continuously scanning order books and submitting FAK orders through the CLOB to capture short-lived spreads.

Why traders use PolyArb for market scans
