Everything on Crypto Parrot uses play money. You never deposit anything, you can't lose a cent of your own, and nothing you win can be cashed out. The prices are real, though, so you learn how markets behave without paying for your mistakes.
Play money only
Real, live prices
Go broke? Start again
Trade crypto like a trader, or call how real-world events turn out. Both use the same play money.
Buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins at live exchange prices. It works like a real exchange, so the habits you build here carry over.
- Go long if you think the price will rise, or short if you think it will fall
- Market, limit and stop orders
- Leverage up to 5×, with take profit and stop loss
- Several portfolios, so you can test different strategies
Answer Yes or No to questions about crypto, politics, sports, the economy, tech and more. The price of a Yes share is the crowd's guess at the chance it happens: 30¢ means about 30%.
- Every winning share pays $1 when the question is settled
- Sell any time before the market closes to lock in a gain or cut a loss
- Prices move with what Crypto Parrot players buy and sell
- Compare the crowd with Polymarket's price on every market
Play money still has rules, so winning means something.
You can borrow up to $100,000. It charges 10% interest a year, added to what you owe each day.
Your cash sits in your wallet. Move some into a portfolio to trade, or use it to bet on predictions.
Net worth is everything you own minus what you owe. Pay the loan back and keep what you made.
Good trading pays off in something you can show. Spend your profits in the trophy shop, from a $50 Ramen Pack to a numbered Lambo.
You can only spend your net worth (what you own minus what you owe) on trophies. Borrowed money alone won't buy you a Lambo.
Rare items are made in fixed numbers, each with its serial (Lambo #7 of 100), and some are one per person, ever.
Your trophies sit on your profile. Pick one to show next to your avatar on every post and comment.
Crypto Parrot is a community. Watching how others trade and think is one of the fastest ways to learn.
See trades and posts from other players as they happen. Share your own ideas, attach a trade, and reply in the comments, GIFs included.
Follow people whose calls you like and switch the feed to show only them. Mention someone with @username to bring them in.
Chat privately with other players. Ask how they read a chart, or why they bet the way they did.
See who has the highest net worth this week, this month and of all time, and who ended up in the Hall of Rekt.
No. Every dollar on Crypto Parrot is play money. You never pay anything in, and you can't lose real money here.
No. Play money never leaves the game. What you keep is the practice, your spot on the leaderboard and bragging rights.
Yes. Crypto prices stream live from a real exchange, so the market moves here exactly as it does out there. Prediction questions, their end dates and their results come from Polymarket, a real prediction market.
New players start with a $100,000 loan from the Parrot Bank: $50,000 goes straight into your Main portfolio and the rest waits in your wallet. If your account is older, open your wallet and borrow what you want, up to $100,000.
Free money that never runs out teaches nothing. The loan gives your choices weight: interest of 10% a year slowly adds to your debt, so you have to beat it to get ahead. Repayments pay off the interest first, and anything you pay back can be borrowed again.
The bank watches your health: what you own divided by what you owe. Below 0.75 you get a margin call and can't open new leveraged trades. Below 0.60 you have 24 hours to recover. Below 0.50 you are liquidated: positions are closed, your cash pays the debt and the rest is written off. You get a REKT badge, and after 24 hours you can borrow again at a higher rate.
You buy Yes or No shares. If you're right, each share pays $1 when the market is settled; if you're wrong, it pays nothing. Buy Yes at 30¢ and you make 70¢ a share if it happens. If a market is cancelled, everyone gets back what they paid. A 2% fee applies to each buy and sell, and you can put at most 10% of what you own into one market.
Each market opens at Polymarket's price, but after that only Crypto Parrot players move it. When lots of people buy Yes, Yes gets more expensive. The chart on each market shows both lines, so you can see when our crowd disagrees with the real one. Trading pauses when the result looks decided or the market is about to close.
Bragging rights. Trophies are bought with play money in the trophy shop and show on your profile and next to your avatar. They count toward your net worth at 50% of what you paid, which is also what the shop pays if you sell one back. If you're liquidated the bank takes them, unless they're bankruptcy-proof.
Leverage lets you open a bigger position than your cash covers, up to 5×. A 10% move becomes a 50% gain, or a 50% loss. It's the quickest way to learn why traders respect risk. Use a stop loss to limit the damage.
Yes, in play money, to keep things realistic. Trades cost 0.25% of their size, like on a real exchange. Prediction bets cost 2% on each buy and sell.
On My trades. From there you can cancel orders, close positions and change take profit and stop loss.
Your profile, trades and posts show in the feed and on your profile, and your results can appear on the leaderboard. Your messages are private. You can block anyone you don't want to hear from.
No. Crypto Parrot is for practice and fun. What works here with play money may not work with real money, so do your own research before you trade for real.
