Risk Disclosure

Last updated: June 23, 2026

Important Notice: EndMock is a simulated prediction market platform. All trading involves virtual currency with no real monetary value. This Risk Disclosure is provided for educational purposes about prediction market mechanics.

1. Nature of Prediction Markets

Prediction markets allow participants to trade shares based on the outcome of future events. Key characteristics include:

  • Share prices reflect the market's collective probability estimate of an event occurring.
  • Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, new information, and market sentiment.
  • Markets resolve to either "Yes" (value 1.00) or "No" (value 0.00) based on the actual outcome.
  • Participants profit by buying underpriced shares or selling overpriced shares.

2. Simulated Environment

EndMock operates entirely in a simulated environment:

  • Virtual Currency: All trades use EndMock Shares (ES), which have no real-world value.
  • No Financial Risk: You cannot lose real money on EndMock. All balances are virtual.
  • Educational Purpose: The platform is designed to help users learn about prediction markets, probability assessment, and trading strategies without financial exposure.
  • Mock Data: Market outcomes may be simulated and do not necessarily reflect real-world events.

3. Virtual Asset and Behavioral Risks

Although ES have no real-world value, you should be aware of the following risks associated with the virtual economy and platform features:

  • Virtual asset value risk: The utility of ES is limited to use within the platform. ES balances, positions, and distributions may be adjusted, suspended, or reclaimed by EndMock in accordance with the Terms of Service, and ES may lose all utility in such circumstances.
  • Platform operation risk: Virtual economy features — including the UBI distribution mechanism, promotional events, fees, and clawbacks — are operated at EndMock's sole discretion and may be modified or terminated at any time without creating any liability to you.
  • Behavioral risk: Simulated trading can still be habit-forming. Please manage your time on the platform responsibly. If you feel your use is excessive or are concerned about gambling-related behavior, please seek help from appropriate professional resources in your region.

4. General Risk Factors

While EndMock does not involve real financial risk, understanding the following concepts is important for anyone interested in real prediction markets:

4.1 Market Risk

Prediction market prices can be volatile and influenced by many factors including news events, market sentiment, liquidity conditions, and the actions of other traders. In real markets, this could result in financial losses.

4.2 Liquidity Risk

Some markets may have limited trading activity, making it difficult to buy or sell shares at desired prices. Low-liquidity markets may have wider bid-ask spreads.

4.3 Resolution Risk

Market outcomes depend on the resolution criteria specified at market creation. Ambiguous criteria or unexpected circumstances can lead to disputes about the correct resolution.

4.4 Information Asymmetry

Some participants may have better information or analysis capabilities than others. This can create advantages for informed traders at the expense of less-informed ones.

5. Trading Concepts

5.1 Order Types

  • Market Orders: Executed immediately at the best available price. May result in unfavorable fills in low-liquidity markets.
  • Limit Orders: Executed only at your specified price or better. May not be filled if the market doesn't reach your price.

5.2 Position Management

Understanding your positions is crucial:

  • Average Cost: The weighted average price at which you acquired your shares.
  • Unrealized P&L: The theoretical profit/loss based on current market price vs. your average cost.
  • Realized P&L: Actual profit/loss from completed trades.

5.3 Probability and Pricing

Share prices between 0.00 and 1.00 represent implied probabilities. A Yes share priced at 0.65 implies the market believes there is a 65% chance of the event occurring.

6. Platform-Specific Risks

  • Technical Issues: Software bugs, server downtime, or network issues may temporarily prevent trading.
  • Data Accuracy: Market data, prices, and statistics are simulated and may not reflect real-world conditions.
  • Account Actions: EndMock reserves the right to ban users, adjust balances, or cancel markets at its discretion.
  • Platform Changes: Features, markets, or virtual currency balances may be modified or removed without prior notice.
  • Leveraged and ETF Products: Leveraged ETF positions and similar derivative features amplify simulated gains and losses and may be subject to automated liquidation mechanics; understand these mechanics before trading.
  • Oracle and Automated Systems: Market resolution may rely on automated or simulated oracle systems; incorrect or delayed resolution may occur and will be handled under the market resolution rules in the Terms of Service.

7. Responsible Use

We encourage responsible use of the platform:

  • Use EndMock as a learning tool to understand prediction market mechanics.
  • Practice different trading strategies without financial consequences.
  • Develop critical thinking and probability assessment skills.
  • If you are interested in real prediction markets, consult with a financial advisor and understand the real risks involved.

8. No Financial Advice

Nothing on the EndMock platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The platform is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Any decisions made based on information from EndMock are solely your responsibility.
