Polymarket Launches Bitcoin Up or Down Markets: Use Code ROTOWIRE for a $50 Bonus

Polymarket launched Bitcoin Up or Down! Get started with code ROTOWIRE to begin trading Bitcoin Up or Down.

Polymarket has launched Bitcoin Up or Down, a market that allows users to trade on whether the Bitcoin price will be higher or lower than it was 15 minutes ago. Markets resolve every 15 minutes, and they run all day, every day. 

New users who sign up with Polymarket promo code ROTOWIRE and deposit $10 get a $50 trading bonus to use on Bitcoin Up or Down or any other event contract on the exchange.

What is Bitcoin Up or Down?

Open the market in the Polymarket app and you'll see a live Bitcoin price chart, a "price to beat" (the price Bitcoin needs to clear), a countdown clock, and two buttons: Up and Down, each showing the current odds.

Pick a side, set an amount, confirm the trade. When the 15-minute window closes, if Bitcoin's price is at or above the price to beat, Up wins. Below it, Down wins. A new window opens the moment the last one closes, so the market never stops running, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A few things make it different from a standard bet:

• You are not locked in until the window closes. You can exit your position at any point before resolution, so a trade that's working in minute six doesn't have to ride out the full 15 minutes.
• Every window has a live chat attached, where traders are reacting to the same price movement in real time.
• Resolution is automated. There's no manual step to claim winnings once a window closes.
