Polymarket Adds Birches Health Partnership and Self-Regulation Tools for U.S. Traders

Polymarket has partnered with Birches Health to supply mental health resources for traders exhibiting compulsive behavior tied to platform activity. The company is also expanding its Trust and Safety team to support early intervention in such cases.

Self-Exclusion, Deposit Limits, and Educational Resources

Traders may now exclude themselves for a minimum of 30 days up to a lifetime. United States users can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits across all supported payment methods. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, while raising one triggers a cool-down period.

Malea Otranto, global head of trust and safety at Polymarket, commented: “People should be able to set their own limits, step away on their own terms, and know what the rules are. That is what launched today, and it is the floor, not the ceiling. We’re excited to continue to build out from here.”

The platform supplies educational materials that include a four-question self-check questionnaire to aid self-diagnosis.

Birches Health Expertise and Current Geographic Limits

Birches Health specializes in compulsive gambling behaviors and delivers clinical assessments, individualized recovery plans, and ongoing treatment across 50 states. These safeguards focus solely on the United States. As reported by GamblingNews, no equivalent measures are referenced for European markets.

Polymarket faces regulatory pushback in Spain, France, and the Netherlands. The company recently filed a complaint in The Hague to overturn a ban imposed by the Dutch Gambling Authority. The partnership with Birches Health indicates an effort to address problem-gambling-like conditions even as Polymarket maintains that its products are not gambling.
