Polymarket Paid Creators $2K-3K Monthly to Film $1.9M in Fake Bets: WSJ

According to a Wall Street Journal investigation published on June 21, Polymarket paid dozens of mostly college-age creators to film fake bets on near-identical copies of its website. A WSJ review of 1,105 videos from 10 creators found that none of the roughly $1.9 million in wagers shown were real, including a staged $100,000 win by college student George Makihara in January. Creators were paid $2,000 to $3,000 monthly and instructed not to disclose the arrangement, the report said.
