Trust · updated as we build

Every order Bookie builds requires your explicit approval before anything is sent to a venue, unless you turn automation on yourself. This page is the full, unvarnished explanation of how that works: the architecture, the permissions, the exact validation steps, and the receipt you get back every time.

You approve every order Your own dedicated wallet Every action is logged
01How a trade actually happens

A diagram and a checklist explain the whole system.

Read left to right. Nothing here is simplified for marketing: it’s the literal request-to-response path.

Request → execution

You describe what you think happens
Bookie interprets the request
Bookie shows you the exact order
You confirm
Signing runs in hardware isolation
The order executes on the market
The position sits in your wallet

CAN

  • Read your balances & open positions
  • Search prediction markets, coins, and on-chain stocks
  • Build an order: contract, side, size, price
  • Cancel an open order
  • Show you live prices and liquidity

CANNOT

  • Move funds without your confirmation
  • Put a key in a chat or a model prompt
  • Skip a limit, a check, or a log entry
  • Send a withdrawal anywhere you didn't name
  • Place an order without your confirmation, unless you've turned automation on

Your wallet, your word. Nothing moves without it, and everything that moves is logged.

02Getting started

What happens when you join.

Four steps. No forms, no venue login, and no step ever puts a key in a chat.

  1. 01

    You text Bookie

    Your first message creates your account. No venue signup, nothing to install.

  2. 02

    Your wallet is provisioned

    A dedicated wallet, yours alone. Keys are generated and held in hardware-isolated signing infrastructure, never in the chat, never shown to the model.

  3. 03

    You fund it your way

    Any coin, any chain, from any wallet or exchange you already use.

  4. 04

    One account trades everything

    Predictions on Polymarket rails, swaps across chains, stocks that live on-chain. Same limits, same confirmations, same log.

Withdraw to any address you choose · pause everything with one message.
03Permissions

Exactly what Bookie is allowed to do.

This is the live permission panel, not a summary of it.

Sports marketsVenue-dependent
OptionsNot available

This is the permission panel every Bookie account ships with, not a mockup of a future feature.

04How the AI is boxed in

The model talks. Software decides.

People assume AI means unpredictable. Here’s the part that isn’t: a deterministic checklist runs on every single request, before anything reaches a venue.

Bookie’s language model does exactly one job: turn what you said into a structured request. It does not execute trades, does not touch money, and does not get to skip a check.

Symbol / contract exists
Quantity and side parsed
Your permissions allow this
Market is open
Price is within a sane range of the live quote
Order is within your per-order and daily limits
Your confirmation was received

Every box has to check before anything is sent. No exceptions, no override switch.

05See it happen

Show the exact order. Then prove what happened.

Every order Bookie builds becomes two things you can inspect: the order itself, and afterward, a full receipt. Try it below.

06Every step, logged

Nothing happens off the record.

This is a live-replaying example of one order’s full trail: the same shape every real one leaves behind.

09Security & access

Specific safeguards, not a marketing badge.

“Bank-grade” means nothing. Here’s what’s actually true, and what’s still ahead.

12Questions nobody else answers

The weirdly specific FAQ.

Why should I trust Bookie?

“You shouldn’t trust us blindly. We’ve built Bookie so that trust comes from technical safeguards, transparent permissions, and your continued control, not from asking you to take our word for it.”

Nothing moves without you.
