Polymarket reportedly paid creators to post deceptive videos about fake bets

Polymarket reportedly paid creators to post videos showing trades and winnings that were not real. Many videos were allegedly filmed on near-perfect copies of the Polymarket website, making the fake activity appear authentic.

The report highlights growing risks around creator marketing in financial and prediction-market platforms, where simulated success can blur into deceptive promotion. If accurate, the practice could invite regulatory scrutiny and damage user trust in betting-style market apps.
