How to Fund Your Account on Predict Street

Getting funds into your account is the first step before you can participate in any prediction markets. The process runs entirely on-chain: you transfer supported cryptoassets from your own wallet to a platform-provided deposit address, and once the required blockchain confirmations are reached, your balance updates automatically.

This page covers everything involved - which assets are accepted, where to find your deposit address, what fees apply, and what to do when something goes wrong.

Accepted Cryptoassets for Deposits

The platform works with a defined set of digital assets. Knowing which assets you can deposit into your account before initiating a transfer saves you from sending unsupported tokens that cannot be recovered.

The cryptoassets accepted for deposits on Predict Street are listed below. Additional assets may be added over time and will be published directly on the platform.

USDC is the primary settlement currency used when Event Contracts resolve. If you deposit BTC or ETH, be aware that your trading activity and any settlement proceeds are denominated in USDC, so the value of your deposited assets relative to USDC may shift between the time you deposit and the time you trade.

How to Find Your Deposit Address

Each asset and network combination has a unique deposit address generated for your account. Never reuse an address from a previous session without verifying it is still current, and always copy the address directly from the platform rather than typing it manually.

The steps below walk you through depositing funds into your Predict Street account from start to finish.

1. Log in to your account on the platform.
2. Navigate to Account - Cashier/Wallet - Deposit.
3. Select the cryptoasset you want to deposit from the available list.
4. Select the correct blockchain network for that asset.
5. Copy the deposit address displayed on screen.
6. Open your personal wallet and initiate a transfer to that address on the same network.
7. Wait for the required number of blockchain confirmations - your balance will update once the threshold is reached.

Before you send, make sure your identity verification is in order. Funds may be held if your account has outstanding requirements - you can complete your account verification in the Account - Verification section before initiating any transfer.

Blockchain Confirmations and Crediting Time

Your deposit does not appear in your account the moment the transaction is broadcast. The platform waits for a set number of confirmations on the relevant blockchain before crediting your balance - this is a standard security measure that protects against double-spend attempts and chain reorganisations.

The exact confirmation threshold for each asset is set by the platform at its discretion. The table below shows where to check the current requirement for each supported asset.

Blockchain congestion can slow confirmation times significantly during periods of high network activity. If your transaction has been broadcast but confirmations are taking longer than expected, check the status on a public blockchain explorer using your transaction hash before contacting support.

Deposit Fees: Platform Charges and Gas Fees

There are two distinct cost layers to understand before you send funds. The platform itself does not charge a deposit fee - except where otherwise disclosed on the platform - but the blockchain network always charges a fee for processing the transaction, and that cost falls entirely on you.

For a complete breakdown of all charges beyond deposits, see the full platform fee schedule, which covers trading and settlement costs as well.

Gas fees vary depending on network congestion at the time you send. During busy periods on networks like Ethereum, fees can rise substantially. Check current network conditions in your wallet before confirming the transaction.

Deposit Limits: Minimum and Maximum Amounts

The platform reserves the right to set minimum and maximum deposit amounts. These limits are published directly on the platform and may vary by asset or be updated over time.

Always check the current limits in your account before sending. Sending an amount below the minimum may result in funds that cannot be credited, and recovering such transactions is not guaranteed.

Sending to the Right Address and Network

Cryptoasset transactions are irreversible once broadcast to the blockchain. If you send funds to the wrong address or on the wrong network, the platform bears no liability and recovery is not possible. This is the single most common and most costly deposit error.

Run through this checklist before confirming every deposit transfer:

• Confirm the asset you are sending matches the asset selected in your account.
• Confirm the blockchain network in your wallet matches the network shown on the deposit screen.
• Copy the deposit address directly from the platform - do not type it manually.
• Verify the first and last several characters of the address after pasting.
• Do not reuse a saved address from a previous session without re-checking it on the platform.
• Consider sending a small test amount first when depositing a large sum for the first time.
• Confirm the transaction is irreversible before approving the full amount in your wallet.

Sending ETH on the BTC network, or USDT on an unsupported chain, are examples of errors that result in permanent loss. The platform cannot intercept, redirect, or recover funds sent to an incorrect address or on an incorrect network.

Third-Party Wallets and Prohibited Sources

You must only deposit from a wallet that you personally own and control. Sending from a custodial exchange account, a wallet belonging to another person, or any wallet associated with illicit activity is prohibited under the platform's terms.

The following are not permitted as deposit sources:

• Custodial wallets held at a third-party exchange - withdraw to your own non-custodial wallet first.
• Wallets owned or controlled by another person, even a family member.
• Wallets flagged or associated with illicit activity, fraud, or sanctions.
• Any wallet where you cannot demonstrate ownership and control.

Deposits from prohibited sources trigger AML monitoring and may result in the funds being held, the deposit being refused, your account being restricted, and a report being filed with the relevant authorities. The platform is not required to give you advance notice before taking these steps.

Fiat Currency Deposits

The platform primarily operates with cryptoassets. Fiat currency deposits - in dollars, euros, or other government-issued currencies - may be made available at the platform's sole discretion, but this is not confirmed as an active option at this time.

To check whether fiat deposit methods are currently available, go to Account - Cashier/Wallet - Deposit and review the payment options listed there. If no fiat option appears, only cryptoasset deposits are currently supported for your account.

AML Monitoring and Deposit Holds

Every deposit is subject to automated transaction monitoring under the platform's anti-money laundering obligations. In most cases this runs in the background without any impact on your deposit. However, certain triggers can cause a deposit to be delayed, suspended, or refused - without prior notice to you.

Common triggers for a deposit hold or review include:

• A transaction amount that is unusually large or inconsistent with your account history.
• A deposit originating from a wallet flagged by blockchain analytics tools.
• An account where identity verification has not been completed.
• Source of funds not yet established to the platform's satisfaction.
• A deposit that arrives while your account is already under a compliance review.

If your deposit is held, contact the compliance team at compliance@adipredictstreet.com and provide the transaction hash, the asset and network used, and the amount. Do not send additional deposits while a hold is active, as this can complicate the review. The platform may be required to report the transaction to regulatory authorities and is not obliged to notify you before doing so.

Deposit Problems and How to Resolve Them

Most deposit issues fall into one of four categories. Work through the relevant section below before contacting support - in many cases the resolution is straightforward once you know where to look.

Deposit Not Showing in Your Account

If your transaction has been confirmed on the blockchain but your account balance has not updated, the most likely cause is that the required confirmation threshold has not yet been reached, or there is a temporary processing delay on the platform side.

Work through these steps in order:

• Check the transaction status on a public blockchain explorer using your transaction hash.
• Count the number of confirmations shown and compare with the threshold in Account - Cashier/Wallet - Deposit.
• Verify you sent the correct asset to the correct address on the correct network.
• Check whether your account has any outstanding verification requirements that may be holding the credit.
• Wait at least the time indicated by current network congestion before escalating.
• If confirmations are complete and the balance has still not updated after a reasonable period, contact complaints@adipredictstreet.com with your transaction hash.

Sent to the Wrong Address or Wrong Network

This is the most serious deposit error and the outcome is almost always permanent. Blockchain transactions cannot be cancelled or reversed once broadcast, and the platform has no ability to retrieve funds sent to an incorrect address or on an incorrect network.

If this has happened:

• Contact support at complaints@adipredictstreet.com immediately - while recovery is unlikely, report it without delay.
• Provide the full transaction hash, the asset, the network used, the intended address, and the actual address the funds were sent to.
• Do not send any further transactions to the same incorrect address.
• Accept that the platform bears no liability for losses resulting from user error of this kind.
• Use this as a prompt to review your pre-send checklist for all future deposits.

Deposit Flagged or Suspended by Compliance

If your deposit has been flagged under AML monitoring, the platform may suspend it without prior notice. You will not always receive an immediate explanation, as the platform is permitted to act on compliance grounds without advance warning.

Steps to take when a deposit is under compliance review:

• Do not send additional deposits while the review is active.
• Contact compliance@adipredictstreet.com with your account details and the transaction hash.
• Prepare documentation that demonstrates the legitimate source of the funds - bank statements, payslips, or equivalent evidence.
• Respond promptly to any requests for information from the compliance team.
• Understand that the platform may be legally required to report the transaction to authorities regardless of the outcome.

What to Include When Contacting Support

A complete and well-organised support request gets resolved faster. Before sending your message to complaints@adipredictstreet.com or compliance@adipredictstreet.com, gather the following:

• Your account username or registered email address.
• The full transaction hash (TXID) from your wallet or blockchain explorer.
• The asset you sent and the blockchain network used.
• The exact amount transferred.
• The date and time of the transaction.
• The deposit address you sent to, as shown on the platform.
• A screenshot of the transaction status from a blockchain explorer showing confirmation count.
• A brief description of what you expected to happen and what actually occurred.

If you need help with a withdrawal after your deposit has cleared, you can also review how withdrawals are processed to understand the next stage of the funds cycle.

What Happens After Your Deposit Clears

Once the required confirmations are reached and any compliance checks have passed, the deposited amount appears in your account balance. From that point, the funds are available to use in prediction markets on the platform.

Your account balance reflects funds held and managed by the platform in accordance with its safeguarding obligations. This is distinct from any on-chain position - the platform's internal record of your balance is the authoritative one, not the blockchain transaction record alone.

Deposit Security and Account Protection

The platform implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your account and transaction data. However, the security of your personal external wallet and any private keys associated with it is entirely your own responsibility - the platform has no access to or control over your external wallets.

To keep your deposits and account secure, make sure two-factor authentication is enabled on your account, never share your login credentials, and always access the platform directly rather than through links in unsolicited messages. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, notify the platform immediately through our support team.
