PolyBot Review: The Fastest Way to Trade Polymarket from Telegram

If you’ve ever fumbled with a wallet connection on your phone trying to catch fast-moving Polymarket odds, you know the pain. You find a great market, pull up Polymarket on mobile, connect MetaMask, wait for the transaction to process, and by the time you confirm… the odds have shifted.

PolyBot eliminates this entire dance. It’s a Telegram bot built for speed—paste any Polymarket link, tap a button, and you’re in the market. No browser. No wallet signatures. No navigation menus. Just pure execution speed.

Think of it as the Unibot of prediction markets—optimized for one thing: getting you from “I want to bet on this” to “trade executed” in under 10 seconds.

What is PolyBot?

PolyBot is a Telegram trading bot that connects you directly to Polymarket’s CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) for instant prediction market trading. You interact with the entire Polymarket ecosystem through a simple chat interface in Telegram.

Core features:

1. Paste-to-Trade: Drop a Polymarket URL and trade instantly
2. Self-Custodial Wallet: Automatic Safe (Gnosis Safe) wallet creation on Polygon
3. Quick-Buy Presets: One-tap trading with customizable amounts
4. Limit Orders: Set entry/exit prices for strategic positioning
5. Market Search: Browse markets by volume, trending, category, or keywords
6. Gas-Free: PolyBot sponsors all Polygon gas fees

Target user: Anyone who trades Polymarket and wants mobile speed without the browser friction.

The Killer Feature: Paste-to-Trade

This is what makes PolyBot special. Here’s the full workflow:

1. You’re on Twitter and see someone tweet about a prediction market
2. Copy the Polymarket URL from their tweet
3. Open PolyBot in Telegram
4. Paste the URL
5. PolyBot instantly shows you the market with live YES/NO prices
6. Tap ”✅ Buy YES” or ”❌ Buy NO”
7. Choose your amount (quick preset or custom)
8. Confirm
9. Done

From URL to executed trade in 10 seconds. No browser tabs, no wallet pop-ups, no navigation, no friction.

For news-driven prediction markets—where seconds matter—this execution speed is the entire value proposition.

Quick-Buy Presets: One-Tap Trading

PolyBot offers customizable quick-buy amounts for instant execution. By default you get:

• $10
• $25
• $50

But you can customize all three in Settings to match your trading style. If you typically bet $100, $250, and $500—set those as your presets.

Why this matters: Combined with paste-to-trade, you can go from seeing a market to having a $50 position in literally 3 taps: Paste → Buy YES → $50 → Confirm.

For breaking news markets or quick scalps, this speed advantage compounds.

Self-Custodial Safe Wallet

When you first start PolyBot, it automatically generates a Safe (Gnosis Safe) wallet on Polygon for you. This is a smart contract wallet, not a simple EOA.

Security features:

• Non-custodial: You own the wallet completely
• Exportable private key: Access via Settings → Export Private Key
• Auto-delete protection: Private key displays auto-delete after 60 seconds
• Compatible: Import into MetaMask, Phantom, or any Web3 wallet
• Sponsored transactions: PolyBot relays your approved trades with sponsored gas

Best practice: Treat this as a hot wallet for active trading. Only deposit funds you intend to trade with. Withdraw profits to a cold wallet for long-term storage.

Market Orders vs. Limit Orders

PolyBot supports both order types with streamlined interfaces:

Market Orders (Instant Execution)

• Tap “Buy YES” or “Buy NO” from any market screen
• Select your amount (preset or custom)
• Confirm and execute instantly at current market price
• Perfect for breaking news or fast-moving markets

Confirmation shows:

• Market name and outcome
• Net amount after fee
• Estimated shares
• Estimated price per share (in cents)

Limit Orders (Strategic Positioning)

Limit Buy:

• From a market screen, tap ”📈 Limit YES” or ”📈 Limit NO”
• Enter your target price in cents (e.g., 75 = $0.75)
• Enter number of shares (minimum 5 shares after fee)
• Confirm—order is placed GTC (Good Till Canceled)

Limit Sell:

• From your Portfolio, tap “Limit Sell” on any position
• Enter target price and number of shares
• Confirm—order goes live on the CLOB

Order Management:

• View all open limit orders from Main Menu → Limit Orders
• See market, outcome, limit price vs. current price, size, value, fill status
• Cancel any order with one tap
• Refresh anytime to see updated status

Use case: Set a limit buy at $0.40 on a market currently at $0.55. If news drops and the market dips, your order fills automatically. Perfect for patient traders who want optimal entries without constant monitoring.

Portfolio Management

PolyBot’s portfolio view is clean and functional—no fancy analytics, just the essentials:

What you see per position:

• Market title
• Position (shares held + outcome)
• Average entry price vs. current market price
• Current value
• PnL in dollars and percentage
• Quick actions: Sell / Limit Sell / Buy / View on Polymarket

Portfolio features:

• Paginated view (5 positions per page)
• Total PnL across all positions shown at bottom
• Refresh prices anytime
• Direct selling: Tap Sell → choose 25%/50%/75%/100% or custom shares

What it’s missing:

• No shareable PnL cards (like PolyGun has)
• No advanced analytics
• No filtering by open/closed positions
• No copy trading integration

Bottom line: It’s functional but basic. If you want detailed analytics, PolyGun is better. If you just want to see your positions and execute quick sells, PolyBot works great.

Market Search & Discovery

PolyBot makes finding markets easy with multiple discovery modes:

Search Modes

📊 Volume: Browse top markets by 24h trading volume 🔥 Trending: See what’s hot right now ✨ New: Discover freshly listed markets 🗂️ Category: Filter by Politics, Crypto, Sports, Entertainment, etc. 🔍 Free-Text Search: Type keywords like “bitcoin etf” or “election polls”

What each result shows:

• Market title
• 24h volume and liquidity
• Current YES/NO prices
• Expiration date
• Two actions: [Trade] (opens in bot) | [View on Polymarket] (opens web)

Navigation: Pagination controls (Prev/Next) and quick return to Main Menu

Pro tip: Use Volume mode to find liquid markets for tight spreads. Use Trending for momentum plays. Use Category to focus on your specialties (e.g., if you only trade crypto markets).

Deposits & Withdrawals

Depositing Funds

PolyBot operates on Polygon and uses USDC.e as the trading currency (Polymarket’s standard).

Steps:

1. Open Wallet → Deposit
2. Copy your Polygon address (or scan QR code)
3. Send USDC or USDC.e on Polygon to your address

Important notes:

• Must be Polygon network (not Ethereum mainnet or other chains)
• Minimum recommended deposit: $1 (technically supports $0.10+)
• If you send USDC, PolyBot auto-swaps it to USDC.e via Uniswap v3
• Auto-swap threshold: ≥ $0.10 USDC
• Balance updates typically within 1-3 minutes
• Use Main Menu → Refresh to see updated balances

No bridging support: Unlike PolyGun (which accepts Solana, Ethereum, BNB deposits with auto-bridging), PolyBot only accepts Polygon deposits. You’ll need to bridge funds to Polygon yourself beforehand.

Withdrawing Funds

Steps:

1. Wallet → Withdraw
2. Enter destination Polygon address
3. Choose amount (25%/50%/75%/100% or custom)
4. Confirm transaction
5. Funds arrive shortly (sponsored gas)

Limits:

• Minimum withdrawal: $1 USDC.e (default)
• Maximum withdrawal: $50,000 USDC.e (default)
• Gas is fully sponsored by PolyBot
• Destination must be a valid Polygon address

Fees & Referral Program

Trading Fees

PolyBot fee: Flat 1% on all trades (buys and sells)

How it works:

• Market buys: Fee reserved from your entered amount, confirmation shows net spend
• Market sells: Fee deducted from proceeds
• Limit orders: Fee accrues proportionally as orders fill

Example ($100 buy):

• You enter: $100
• PolyBot fee (1%): $1.00
• Net amount trading: $99.00
• Plus Polymarket’s platform fees

Gas fees: Fully sponsored—you never pay MATIC for transactions

Value proposition: For casual traders making infrequent $50-$100 bets, the 1% fee might feel steep. For active traders who value speed (especially news snipers), the fee is justified by execution speed and zero gas costs.

Referral Program (25% / 5% / 3%)

PolyBot features a 3-tier referral system that rewards community growth:

Earnings structure:

• Level 1 (direct referrals): 25% of their trading fees
• Level 2 (referrals of your referrals): 5% of their fees
• Level 3 (third layer): 3% of their fees

How it works:

1. Get your referral link from Settings → Referral Program
2. Share link: t.me/polybot?start=ref_<your_code>
3. When someone uses your link and creates a wallet, they’re your L1 referral
4. You earn a percentage of PolyBot’s fees whenever they trade
5. Rewards accrue after on-chain fills (with 5-minute maturity window)

Dashboard shows:

• Total referral count
• Lifetime earnings
• Total claimed
• Current claimable balance
• Your unique referral code and QR code

Claiming rewards:

• Minimum claim: $5 USDC.e (default)
• Paid directly to your PolyBot wallet
• Cooldown between claims: ~10 minutes

Example calculation (Level 1 referral):

• Your referral makes a $100 trade
• PolyBot fee (1%) = $1.00
• You earn 25% of $1.00 = $0.25

Strategic opportunity: If you have a network of active prediction market traders, the referral program can offset your own trading fees entirely. A network of 50 traders averaging $5K/month volume could generate $625/month in passive referral income.

Strategic Limit Trader

Setup:

• Use Limit Orders extensively
• Set multiple limit buys at different levels below market
• Set limit sells above market to take profits automatically

Example:

• Market trading at $0.60
• Set limit buys at $0.50, $0.48, $0.45

Setup:

• Check Portfolio daily for PnL updates

• Set limit sells on winning positions to lock gains

Limitation: PolyBot’s portfolio is basic. If you need detailed analytics or shareable PnL cards, consider PolyGun.

What’s Missing (vs. Competitors)

Let’s be honest about where PolyBot falls short:

No Copy Trading

PolyGun and Polycule both offer copy trading—automatically mirror profitable traders’ positions. PolyBot has zero copy trading features.

Impact: If you want to follow smart money wallets automatically, you need a different bot.

No Advanced Analytics

PolyGun offers:

• Shareable PnL cards
• Advanced portfolio metrics
• Trading mode selection (Cautious/Standard/Expert)

PolyBot offers:

• Basic PnL display
• Simple position list
• No customization

Impact: If you’re a data-driven trader who wants detailed metrics, PolyBot feels lightweight.

Polygon Deposits Only

PolyGun accepts deposits from Solana, Ethereum, and BNB with auto-bridging. Polycule bridges from Solana.

PolyBot accepts Polygon only.

Impact: If your funds are on Solana or Ethereum, you’ll need to bridge manually before using PolyBot. This adds friction.

No Token or Airdrop

Polycule has the $PCULE token (fee discounts) and a planned $50K airdrop.

PolyBot has neither.

Impact: No additional incentives beyond referral rewards.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Deposits

Problem: “My deposit isn’t showing”

Solution:

• Verify you sent on Polygon network (not Ethereum mainnet)
• If you sent USDC, allow 1-3 minutes for auto-swap to USDC.e
• Use Main Menu → Refresh
• Check your wallet address on Polygonscan to confirm receipt

Orders

Problem: “Please try again in a few seconds”

Solution:

• First-time contract approvals or Safe deployment may still be processing
• Wait 10-15 seconds and retry
• If persistent, check Polygon network status

Problem: “Canceled order still visible”

Solution:

• Tap Refresh on the Limit Orders screen
• Orders may have filled partially before cancel—check Portfolio

Withdrawals

Problem: “Withdrawal failed”

Solution:

• Verify destination address is valid Polygon address
• Check you have sufficient balance (minimum $1)
• Ensure you’re not trying to withdraw to your own PolyBot address (blocked)

Referrals

Problem: “My referral didn’t count”

Solution:

• New users must use your referral link before creating their wallet
• Self-referrals are automatically blocked
• Referrals only count after the referred user completes their first trade

Verdict: Is PolyBot Worth It?

For speed-focused traders: Absolutely. If you value execution speed above everything else—especially for news-driven markets—PolyBot delivers. Paste-to-trade is genuinely faster than any browser experience, and the quick-buy presets make one-tap trading a reality.

For casual bettors: Maybe. If you make a few $20 bets per month on big events (Super Bowl, elections), the 1% fee adds up without providing much value over the Polymarket website. You’re paying for speed you might not need.

For data-driven traders: Not ideal. If you want detailed analytics, copy trading, or advanced portfolio tools, PolyGun or Polycule are better fits. PolyBot is lean by design—it prioritizes speed over features.

For referral hunters: Solid. The 25%/5%/3% structure is competitive, and if you have a network of active traders, the passive income can offset fees entirely.

Bottom Line: PolyBot is the fastest, simplest way to trade Polymarket from Telegram. It doesn’t try to be everything—no copy trading, no fancy analytics, no multi-chain bridging. It does one thing exceptionally well: instant market access. If that’s what you need, PolyBot is excellent. If you want the extras, look elsewhere.

PolyBot is the speed-focused choice for Polymarket traders who value simplicity and execution above all else.
