How a bet is verified

Your wallet signs one transaction that calls the MemeMarkets program. The program checks the market is open, the amount is within limits and you are on one side only, then moves your USDC into the market vault and records your position. If any check fails, the whole transaction fails and nothing moves.

What if a bet fails?

The app shows the reason from the program, for example "Betting is closed" or "Over the per wallet maximum for this market". Your USDC stays in your wallet. You only pay the small network fee if the transaction reached the chain.

Can I change or cancel my bet?

No. Bets are final once confirmed. You can add to your position while the market is open (up to the per wallet cap). You cannot bet on both sides of the same market from the same wallet.

WarningNever send USDC to a vault address by hand. Only bets placed through the program are recorded.
TipSlow network? Wait a minute before retrying. Sending twice means two bets.
