WITH AGAINST

WithAgainst is a conviction market — a new category entirely. Not a sportsbook. Not a trading platform. Not a prediction market where you can exit when the price moves against you. It is a two-sided commitment pool where both sides must fill before the claim activates, everyone holds to expiry, and reality settles it. Conviction deserves its own game. This is that game.

Every pool has a minimum number of entries required per side — set by the claim poster within platform-defined limits. This ensures the pool is worth settling before resolution triggers. Core entries fill the target and receive the best distribution structure. Extra entries are overflow — still accepted, still participate, but with a smaller proportional return if the right side is correct.

If either side has not reached its core target by the time the event resolves, the pool cancels automatically. Every participant on both sides receives a full refund. No platform fee is taken. No settlement occurs. A pool that could not attract genuine two-sided conviction was not worth settling.

The Time-Decaying Threshold. If a pool reaches 60% fill on either side within 48 hours, the activation target automatically steps down to meet the real level of conviction in the market. The pool activates at genuine demand rather than waiting indefinitely for an over-ambitious target. If it still cannot fill, you receive a full refund. Your capital is never permanently locked in a dead pool.

It cannot. Early conviction is structurally protected. Core participants — those who entered while core slots remained — receive the best share of the distribution plus 20% of everything the opposing extra participants commit after the target fills. Late capital entering on the opposing side does not dilute early conviction. It funds it. The earlier you commit, the more every late entry on the other side works in your favour.

Every claim must be tied to a verifiable data source at the time of posting — a sports result API, a financial data feed, an official election result. When the event resolves, the outcome is pulled automatically and applied to the pool. The correct side receives the entire opposing pool distributed proportionally by commitment after the 6% service fee. The calculation is shown transparently at settlement.

No position can be withdrawn once entered. You can enter the opposing side to attempt to manage your exposure — but this creates a second locked position, not a guaranteed neutral outcome. Both positions stay locked until resolution or cancellation. If the pool cancels, both positions are refunded in full.

The platform takes 6% of the total resolved pool — a service fee for truth, not a house take on a bet. We earn only when both sides fill, the claim resolves, and reality delivers a result. Cancelled pools generate nothing. This directly aligns our interests with pool quality — we only earn when conviction on both sides was real enough to activate.

Every claim must name a Trusted Oracle at pool creation — a specific, publicly accessible data source that produces a binary outcome. Approved sources include: Bloomberg Terminal closing prices, SEC EDGAR filings, official central bank statements (Federal Reserve, Bank of England), NASA/ESA official mission pages, named peer-reviewed benchmark publications, and Official Charts Company or Billboard data, and official sporting data APIs including Opta and Sportradar for verified match and competition results. These are publicly verifiable, unambiguous, and cannot be edited after the fact. The oracle is locked at creation and cannot be changed. If the primary oracle is unavailable at resolution, a named fallback activates. If both sources are unavailable or contradict each other, the pool is voided and all capital returned in full. The platform never interprets outcomes. The data decides. Always.

We are currently assessing the regulatory landscape across the UK, EU, US, and other markets. We will launch only in jurisdictions where we have determined a clear and compliant operating path. The waitlist does not commit you to anything — it simply registers your interest.
