Prediction markets move fast. Like, really fast. If you’ve ever tried trading on Polymarket through a browser on your phone, you know the pain: slow page loads, wallet connection issues, and by the time you get your order in, the odds already shifted. PolyGun fixes that. It lives entirely inside Telegram, it creates your wallet automatically, and it gets out of the way so you can just trade.
Here’s how to actually use it polygunsniperbot.com , from opening the bot to running copy trades on autopilot.

What PolyGun Is and Why People Use It
PolyGun is a Telegram bot built on the Polymarket API. You trade prediction markets, ranging from politics and crypto to sports and global events, directly inside a chat window. No browser tabs. No gas fee headaches. No connecting a hardware wallet at 2am when something breaks in the news.
One user put it well:
_“The strongest point is how close the product stays to actual user behavior. Traders already live in Telegram._That’s the whole pitch. The bot meets people where they already are.”
The fee is 1% per trade, both buys and sells. That’s it. Gas on Polygon is sponsored, so it’s not on top of anything else.
Getting Started in Four Steps
Setup takes maybe three minutes if you’re not distracted.

Open Telegram and search for the official PolyGun bot. Tap “Start.” The bot will automatically generate a non-custodial smart wallet for you, no configuration needed, no manual linking. Your private key is exportable, so your funds stay yours.
Then fund it. PolyGun accepts USDC deposits from Polygon, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB, and handles the auto-bridging itself. The minimum to start is $1, though $10 or more gives you something to actually work with.
That’s it. You’re ready.
Placing Your First Trade
Once your wallet has a balance, go to the markets section. You can either browse by category inside the bot, or paste any Polymarket link directly into the chat. The market screen will show current prices, liquidity, and volume.
You pick your side, “Yes” or “No,” then choose your order type. Market orders execute immediately at the current best price. Limit orders let you set a target price and wait for it to fill. Limit orders stay open until matched or cancelled, which is useful if you think a market will drift toward your number.
Before confirming, your available balance is always visible. No surprises.
The bot has three trading modes you can set once and mostly forget about. “Cautious” asks you to confirm every order, which is good when you’re learning or making large positions. “Standard” only asks for confirmation on orders above a threshold you set. “Expert” fires instantly, no confirmation, which is the move when you’re using Quickbuy presets during a fast-moving event.
After an order goes through, PolyGun sends you the shares received, average price, total cost, and a Polygonscan transaction link. Everything stays in the chat.
Copy Trading, the Feature Most People Come For
Copy trading is where PolyGun gets interesting. You pick a wallet, configure how much you want to allocate per trade, and whenever that wallet opens or closes a position, your bot mirrors it automatically.

Another trader described it simply:
“The copy trading feature is what pulled me in. It is much easier to follow strong wallets than to search for everything manually.”
To set it up, go to “Copy Trade” on the home screen and tap “Add Copy Trade.” You’ll walk through seven steps in order: paste the wallet address, give it a nickname, set your copy trade size (fixed dollar amount or percentage of the original trade), set a max dollar cap per trade, define a price range you’re willing to enter, set slippage tolerance, then review everything before activating.
The price range setting matters more than people expect. If a wallet enters at 30 cents but you only want to copy trades between 20 and 45 cents, you set that range and the bot skips anything outside it. Keeps you out of positions where the timing already passed you by.
Smart Wallets: Pre-Vetted Traders Worth Watching
PolyGun maintains a “Smart Wallets” section, a curated list of high-performing Polymarket traders organized by category: Sports, Crypto, Politics, and Insider wallets. Each has a win rate and strategy profile you can review before deciding whether to copy.
Win rates reflect historical performance, not a guarantee of anything future. Worth being clear-eyed about that. But it gives you a starting point instead of hunting wallet addresses on your own.
Insider wallets are worth a separate look. These are wallets that show patterns consistent with early information or unusually accurate timing on news-driven markets. PolyGun tracks them and lets you set up copy trades the same way as any other wallet.
Managing Your Portfolio
The portfolio view shows open positions, closed positions, daily PnL, and total volume. You can generate a shareable PnL card if you want to post results. Refreshing is manual if you want the absolute latest prices, otherwise the bot updates automatically after each trade executes.
Selling works the same way buying does. Open a position, choose how much to close, pick market or limit, confirm based on your trading mode. You can partially close positions if you want to take some off the table while staying exposed.
One Thing Worth Knowing Before You Start
PolyGun does not require any previous crypto experience to use. The wallet setup is fully automatic, the gas is handled, and the interface is a chat window. If you already know what Polymarket is and have opinions about prediction markets, you can be placing trades within five minutes of opening the bot.
If you’re newer to prediction markets, start on “Cautious” mode, use small amounts, and spend time browsing markets before copying anyone. The bot’s tools are only as good as the judgment behind them.
