Cancellation and no-result handling diverges between platforms, particularly for draw markets. Limitless treats administrative non-completion as a draw resolution trigger, while Polymarket/Predict only trigger draw YES on complete cancellation with no makeup game. Kalshi's three-outcome structure creates logical ambiguity.
Hero Tip:
Monitor FIFA.com for any postponement or cancellation announcements. If the match is postponed but rescheduled, all platforms should remain open. If canceled with no makeup, Polymarket/Predict draw markets resolve YES, but Limitless draw markets may resolve YES earlier if no official result is published by July 25, 2026, 20:00 UTC. For win markets, cancellation resolves NO across Polymarket and Predict. Kalshi's resolution is unclear in cancellation scenarios—contact support for clarification.
Critical Divergence Points:
Limitless: Draw market resolves YES if match ends in a draw OR if no official result is published by July 25, 2026, 20:00 UTC. Win markets (Curaçao/Ivory Coast) resolve NO if match is not completed by deadline. Key quote: 'If the match is not completed with an official result by July 25, 2026, 20:00 UTC, the market will resolve to NO' (win) or 'YES' (draw).
Polymarket: Draw market resolves YES if match ends in a draw OR if canceled entirely with no make-up game. Win markets resolve NO if canceled with no makeup. Market remains open if postponed (awaiting rescheduled date). Key quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to Yes' (draw) or 'No' (win).
Predict: Identical to Polymarket: Draw resolves YES on draw or complete cancellation; win markets resolve NO on cancellation. Remains open if postponed. Key quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to Yes' (draw) or 'No' (win).
Kalshi: All three outcomes (Tie, Curaçao win, Ivory Coast win) resolve to YES if they occur. Cancellation/no-result handling is not explicitly stated. This creates logical ambiguity: it is unclear whether a canceled match would resolve YES for all three markets or remain unresolved. Key quote: 'If [outcome] wins the Curacao vs Ivory Coast professional FIFA World Cup soccer game...then the market resolves to Yes.'
