While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Company details

  1. Alternative Financial Service

Written by the company

Catalyst is a prediction market trading company. We offer skill-based challenges where you trade real Polymarket events and earn cash payouts as early as your first trading day, and we tell you exactly what every payout will be before you place a single trade. Here's how it works. You pay a one-time fee and trade a simulated account using live Polymarket data. Complete five levels and earn fixed cash payouts, defined the day you sign up. Pass a level and the payout is added to your Catalyst wallet automatically, ready to withdraw. There's no profit split. You keep all of it. You know exactly what to do in the challenge, and exactly what you'll earn for doing it. Completely transparent. 100% objective. No surprises. The account balance is simulated. The markets, the prices, and the outcomes are real, and so are the payouts. One rule: stay within the max loss. No daily loss limits, no consistency requirements, no trade windows, no news lockouts, and no goalposts that move when you start winning. Trade what you know across thousands of markets spanning crypto, sports, politics, economics, culture, and current events, available 24/7/365. Catalyst is not a prop firm. You never trade firm capital and there's no funded account. You fund your own account with the payouts you earn and trade on your own terms. Catalyst was founded by Melissa Footlick, a founding employee, COO, and 11-year veteran of Topstep, alongside prop firm veterans who helped build the retail prop trading model into a multibillion-dollar industry. We got tired of watching that industry run on subjectivity and ambiguity, so we built the company we always wanted to exist: fixed payouts, defined at signup, the same for every trader, every day.

I’ve had a good experience so far

I’ve had a good experience so far. I received my payout very quickly and when I had an issue, Michele and Melissa helped me promptly and resolved it. It’s a pretty new firm, but I appreciate how efficiently they handle things.

Awesome Twist on Traditional Prediction Markets

The team at Catalyst have done an amazing job creating a nice twist on the prediction markets. Blending traditional prop firm basics and prediction markets creates an amazing experience. UI is really well done, simple and easy to use. Entire process is easy to understand and from start to finish it is a great experience.
