Onboarding Friction on Polymarket for Larger Bets - Anyone Else See This?
Been dabbling a bit more seriously on Polymarket recently, moving past the smaller, more speculative stuff into some markets where the potential payouts warrant a bit more capital deployment. What I'm running into is some unexpected friction during the onboarding/KYB process when trying to fund larger amounts. It feels a bit clunky, almost like the infrastructure isn't quite geared for someone looking to put down more than a few hundred bucks.
Specifically, the multi-step verification, sometimes requiring a re-upload of docs even after initial approval, really drags. It's not a deal-breaker, but it makes me wonder about the liquidity implications for bigger positions if the hurdle to entry for larger players is this pronounced. Is this something others have experienced? Are there any workarounds or best practices folks have found for smoother, larger-scale funding onto Polymarket? Just curious if I'm hitting a common pain point or if it's just my specific situation.
I've noticed similar issues. The platform seems designed for casual, smaller wagers, and scaling up funding can indeed be more cumbersome than it needs to be.
