About The Forecast Verdict
The Forecast Verdict is a UK-focused publisher covering prediction markets, event contracts and forecasting platforms. We exist to give British readers an honest read on what they can use, what it costs, and whether it can be trusted — with our conflicts on the table, not buried.
Who we are
We are a small team of analysts and writers who have followed prediction markets since the early election-market era. We trade and forecast ourselves, read the on-chain and exchange data directly, and write from first-hand experience of opening, funding and using these platforms — including hitting the geoblocks that affect UK users.
Editorial standards
We rate platforms on four published criteria — UK access, legal standing, cost and credibility — with UK access weighted first. We test claims before we publish them, distinguish fact from opinion, date and update our pages, and correct errors openly. Commercial partnerships never change a score, and we will say plainly when a platform is unavailable or risky for UK readers.
Ownership disclosure
The Forecast Verdict is operated by the team behind PolyGram. Because PolyGram can appear in our comparisons, we disclose this conflict on every page and in this section. PolyGram receives no automatic ranking advantage: it is scored on the same published criteria as every other platform, and we will rank it below rivals where the criteria say so. Affiliate links are marked and may earn us a commission, which does not influence our verdicts.
FAQ
Is The Forecast Verdict independent?
Editorially, yes — we follow published criteria and correct errors openly. We are owned by the team behind PolyGram, which we disclose on every page so you can judge our coverage with that in mind.
How do you make money?
Through affiliate partnerships with some platforms. Links that earn us a commission are marked, and our ratings are set before and independently of any commercial relationship.
Why should I trust your verdicts on PolyGram?
Because we hold PolyGram to the same published criteria as everyone else and disclose the ownership link prominently. Where competitors score better, we say so.
How do I contact you about a correction?
We welcome corrections. Use the contact details published on the site; we review flagged errors and update pages with the change dated.
