⚡️🎰 NEW - A WSJ investigation found Polymarket secretly paid creators (via a firm called Virality) to flood TikTok/Instagram/YouTube with staged "winning bet" videos pushing US users toward its offshore platform. Creators used fake mirror sites to simulate wins that never happened on real accounts. Of 1,105 videos analyzed from 10 endorsed creators, ~70% showed fake bets (~$1.9M depicted), while real linked accounts actually lost about $166K. Streamer Adin Ross had a multi-million dollar deal to promote the platform. Campaigns generated ~140M views and targeted audiences 60%+ US-based, with creators often told not to disclose they were paid. A word of advice: stay away from gambling, way away!
