About versus

versus is a prediction market app across politics, finance, sport, AI, crypto and entertainment. It is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission under account 101143, and it settles in ordinary money rather than cryptocurrency.

Why we built it

The best known prediction markets are closed to British users. Polymarket and Kalshi both block UK traffic, because neither holds a licence to offer these markets here.

So people in the UK who wanted to trade a view on an election or a rate decision had two bad options: give up, or route around a geoblock and hand money to a platform with no obligation to give it back.

We took the third one. Same mechanic, built inside the UK licensing regime, with the consumer protections that come with a licence.

What that licence means in practice

• Customer money is held separately from company money.
• Identity is verified before a withdrawal, under anti money laundering rules.
• Deposit limits, loss limits, reality checks and self exclusion exist on every account, and GAMSTOP applies.
• Credit cards are not accepted, because licensed operators in Great Britain may not take them.
• Complaints have an independent route out of our hands.

You can look the licence up yourself on the Gambling Commission register.

What we charge

One fee: 2% of your stake, added on top of it, with no cap. Nothing on deposits, nothing on withdrawals within normal limits.
