What is the Prediction Markets "Self-Exclusion" feature?

The Prediction Markets "Self-Exclusion" feature allows a user to voluntarily disable their own access to event contract trading for a selected duration. Once activated, Self-Exclusion cannot be undone, and access to event contract trading will only be restored when the selected duration has elapsed.

How Self-Exclusion Works:

  • Self-Exclusion will disable trading in event contracts for the selected duration. Opening orders for event contracts will be rejected.
  • Any existing positions in event contracts can still be closed.
  • Self-Exclusion cannot be undone, and access to event contract trading will only be restored when the selected duration elapses.

Multi-User/Multi-Account Considerations:

  • Any authorized user on a given account can opt into Self-Exclusion.
  • Self-Exclusion propagates to all accounts owned by the same individual or entity. If an individual or entity opens a new account, the Self-Exclusion property will also be applied to the new account automatically.
  • If an account is jointly-owned, the Self-Exclusion property will cascade to both owners and their individual accounts, as well as any other jointly-owned accounts with the same owners.
