Questions worth asking

A market is a single yes-or-no question about a real-world number. Examples: "Will gold close above $4,200 on Friday?" or "Will EU inflation come in above 3.5% next month?" Two buttons, one outcome, settled against a named public source.

The price of a YES share, in cents, equals the crowd's implied probability that YES will happen. 25¢ = 25% chance, payout 4×. 60¢ = 60% chance, payout ~1.67×. The lower the price the bigger the payout if you're right.

No. Your stake is your maximum risk. If you lose, you lose what you put in — never more.

At the moment you place the ticket. Subsequent buys on either side don't change your locked multiplier (Polymarket-style). You always know exactly what you'll get if you're right.

At paper play, between €1 and €1,000 per ticket. We keep it bounded so a single user can't distort the pool.

Each market names its settlement source on the market page (e.g. Eurostat, ICE, SLF). After the window closes we fetch the source, archive the raw response, hash it with SHA-256, publish the transcript, and pay out winners.

We extend the window for up to 24 hours. If the source is permanently down or has changed shape we void the market and return everyone's stake. We never invent a value.

Yes — every transcript shows the source URL we queried, the timestamp, and a SHA-256 hash of the response. Re-fetch the source, re-hash, and compare. If they match the data is genuine.

There's a 24-hour dispute window after every settlement. Within that window any user can flag a settlement they believe is wrong; the team reviews within one working day. Disputed payouts are held in escrow until the review concludes.

No, not yet. VigFi is paper-play only at the moment. You start with €10,000 in demo balance on signup and place tickets in that demo currency. There's no payment, no withdrawal, no monetary value.

When our operator licence lands — currently on a Q3 2026 path under the Tobique Gaming Commission. We'll email registered users before the switch and walk through the new flow. Your demo P&L will carry over so you arrive with track record, not from scratch.

A flat 8% vig per market. We don't take a side on the outcome — we make money on volume, not on guessing the market wrong. The vig is stamped on every market page.

Not for paper play. When real money launches, yes — KYC is required by our operator licence. We'll use Sumsub or an equivalent processor so you provide ID once and never repeat the process.

Only what you give us: email, optional display name, password (bcrypt-hashed). Plus your activity log (tickets, wallet ledger). Server-side request logs are kept 30 days for security. Read the full picture on the privacy page.

No. Two strictly-necessary cookies — login session and the cookie banner's own consent record — and that's it. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no third-party scripts. See the cookie policy for the full table.

On self-hosted infrastructure in Germany (Hetzner). It is not transferred to third countries, not shared with processors, not sold.

At real-money launch we'll ship deposit limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion, and reality checks. We design those tools under paper conditions so they're ready when money is on the table.

No sport, no in-play, no parlays, no boosts. We focus on real-world numbers that resist manipulation — commodities, indexes, weather, crops. The settlement source is named up front and the transcript is public.

Binary options are financial derivatives sold by a counterparty whose interests run opposite to yours. VigFi is parimutuel — players bet against each other in a pool, the house takes a flat vig. Closer to Kalshi or Polymarket than to a binary-options broker.

Polymarket runs an order book on a public blockchain and settles via UMA optimistic oracle. Kalshi is CFTC-regulated. VigFi is parimutuel pools off-chain, EU-domiciled, named-source settlement, with the Tobique licence and a real-world-events focus (snowfall, vineyard frost, energy spot, inflation prints) that the others don't cover well.
