Legal disclaimer

Educational simulator only. BTC Up/Down is a free educational game and simulation. It is provided for entertainment and learning about how short-term Bitcoin prediction markets work.

Not real money. All balances, bets, payouts and profits are simulated play money with no cash value. They cannot be deposited, withdrawn, exchanged, transferred or redeemed for money, cryptocurrency, prizes or anything else of value. BTC Up/Down does not accept wagers and is not a gambling, betting or gaming service.

Not financial advice. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, trading, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, hold or trade Bitcoin, any cryptocurrency, any prediction-market contract or any other financial product. Do your own research and consider speaking with a licensed professional before making financial decisions.

No guarantee of results. Simulated results do not represent real trading and are not an indication of future performance. Real markets involve fees, spreads, slippage, liquidity limits, settlement rules and risks this simulator does not reproduce. Trading Bitcoin and prediction-market contracts can result in the loss of all money committed.

Price data. Bitcoin prices come from third-party public data feeds (Binance, Coinbase and Kraken) and may be delayed, interrupted or inaccurate. Up and Down share prices are produced by our own pricing model and are not quotes from any real exchange or prediction market. Information about other platforms is summarised from public sources, may be out of date, and should be checked against each platform's own rules.

No affiliation. BTC Up/Down is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to Polymarket, Kalshi, KuCoin, Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, CF Benchmarks or any other company named on this site. All trademarks and brand names belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe or identify their products.

Local laws and age limits. Real-money trading, prediction markets and similar products are restricted or prohibited in some countries and for people under 18. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you if you use any real-money service.

Privacy. BTC Up/Down has no accounts and does not collect your name, email or payment details. Your balance and history are stored only in your own browser. To show live prices, your browser connects directly to the third-party data feeds listed above, which can see your IP address under their own privacy policies.

No warranty and limitation of liability. The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, availability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, BTC Up/Down and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, the site or its content, including any decision to trade real money.

By using BTC Up/Down you agree to this disclaimer. It may be updated from time to time; the date at the top of this guide shows the last update.
