Walkthrough

3 min read

Create your account and place your first bet

You sign in with Google or email and Layback X sets up the account by itself, with no polymarket.com sign-up. From sign-in to your deposit address takes 1 to 2 minutes.

Underneath, your account is a Polymarket wallet tied to your sign-in: that is where your balance and bets live. Layback X creates that wallet and makes the trading authorizations on your first sign-in, so there is nothing to set up.

  1. Step 1

    Open Layback X

    Open Layback X in the browser, nothing to install. Prefer the app for Windows, macOS or Linux? Download it here. Sign in with the same Google account or email and it is the same account in both.

  2. Step 2

    Sign in with Google or email

    Click Continue with Google and pick your account. Or type your email and click Continue with email: a 6-digit code arrives, and you type it on the Enter the code screen. On your first sign-in the screen shows Preparing your account for a few seconds while the app creates your wallet.

  3. Step 3

    Add your WhatsApp

    Right after you sign in, still on the sign-in screen, What's your WhatsApp? shows up. Type the number and click Continue. By continuing, you agree to receive messages from Layback on WhatsApp: account notices, support and news, no spam. Meanwhile, the app is already setting up the account.

  4. Step 4

    The account gets ready

    After the WhatsApp step, Your account is ready to trade shows up. If the setup is still finishing, you see Enabling trading for a few seconds first. You do not need to do anything.

  5. Step 5

    Deposit

    Click Deposit, right in the account-ready window. Later it also sits on the Deposit to start trading bar at the top and in your account panel. Pick the network, copy your deposit address and send USDT or USDC to it from your exchange, on the same network. It arrives within minutes and turns into balance by itself, in pUSD.

    No USDT or USDC yet? You can buy it on an exchange such as Binance or Coinbase. The deposit walkthrough shows every screen, from the purchase to the balance.

  6. Step 6

    Place your first bet on the ladder

    With a balance, open a match in Sports and pick the market: it opens in a window with one ladder per outcome. Type the amount in the stake field and click a cell. Back bets the outcome happens, Lay bets it does not, and the odds are the row you clicked.

    One click in the Back column, at odds 2.10, with whatever stake is in the field.

    Every order has a minimum that changes with the odds: the fees and minimum stake simulator shows it at every price. The user guide covers the ladder, stake modes, cash out and hotkeys.

Common questions

The code did not reach my inbox

Check spam and the Promotions tab. After a few seconds, Resend code sends a new one. If the email was wrong, use Change e-mail.

Can I skip WhatsApp?

No, but it is quick: the number and Continue. And we do not send spam: WhatsApp is for account notices, support and Layback news. To stop receiving messages or have the number removed, email contato@layback.trade. Signed in with the wrong account? Use another account takes you back to sign-in.

I closed the screen while it was preparing

Sign in again with the same Google account or email: the app picks the setup up where it stopped.

Do I need an account on polymarket.com?

No. Layback X creates your Polymarket wallet on your first sign-in. Linking your profile on polymarket.com is optional and lets you see the same deposits and positions there too.
