Polymarket introduces deposit caps, self-exclusion tools

Polymarket has introduced new user-protection measures, including deposit limits and self-exclusion tools, CNN reported. The move comes as calls grow to tighten consumer-protection rules alongside the rapid expansion of prediction markets. Users will now be able to set their own deposit caps that cannot be lifted immediately, a measure aimed at preventing excessive spending and losses. The platform has also added a feature allowing users to place themselves on a self-exclusion list to suspend access for a set period or permanently.
