About

Better Opinions is a prediction market of India which allows users to trade their opinion on everyday topics. For example, If you think India Covid cases will decrease by 10% this week, you can trade this insight and win money if correct. Our aim is to make the app inclusive for all. The stock market unfortunately can be very technical and opaque and therefore isn’t always accessible for all. However, when we start allowing trading in categories such as cricket, politics and entertainment, not only do we make trading more relatable, but we also help improve their financial literacy.

Services

Better Opinions operated as a prediction market focused on India, but it is no longer functional as of 2023 due to business reasons. Users were able to withdraw funds from their KYC-verified accounts before shutdown.

The platform previously allowed users to participate in prediction markets centered on events in India, with funds stored in KYC-verified accounts. The site signal shows it has ceased operations, and no active product functionality is available.

Who it’s for: Individuals interested in Indian current events and prediction markets; former users who held funds in KYC-verified accounts.
