Things have changed on Polymarket from just elections and Bitcoin price changes. The betting platform is now open to alien wagers, viral streamers and even the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The weird markets have attracted tens of millions of dollars, and there are all sorts of bits to gamble on.

Polymarket gained popularity during the 2024 U.S. presidential elections. It’s since expanded into a venue that enables any popular subject to be turned right into a wagering market.

What Happens Before GTA VI?

One popular market wonders what will happen before GTA VI is released. The choices run the gamut from a new Rihanna album, to Bitcoin surpassing a $1 million, to the Second Coming of Jesus. Already, this single market has reached trading volume of more than 23 million dollars, with almost 12 million dollars wagered on the Jesus result alone.

Betting on Trump’s Next Words

Another whacky market is the one predicting what Donald Trump will say in exactly one week. Previous choices have been “peanut,” “ice cream” and “Salvador.” Just verbal comments are accepted. Social media comments or written statements will not count.

A Wild Bet at a WNBA Game

Things get even stranger in sports. One market asked if a sex toy would land on the court during a WNBA game. The rules were bizarre: you could only score a “Yes” with a dildo.

Will a Streamer Eat a Bug on Camera?

Other internet culture enthusiasts can also be streamers. One market wondered if ArrowCS would consume a bug before the end of the year. Protein powder or cooked bugs are not okay. It has to be raw and on camera.

Alien Abduction at the World Cup

Earlier, people bet on the possibility of aliens kidnapping someone in the World Cup game between Brazil and Scotland in 2026. That market alone was responsible for bringing over $4.3 million.

Millions Riding on the Second Coming

The biggest of them all asks if Jesus Christ will return before the end of 2026. So far it is the most talked about bet on Polymarket with over $64.8 million traded on this single market.

The Bigger Picture

So these strange markets are an example of how Polymarket puts money behind internet trends and viral moments. As long as an event is clearly defined, it appears that nothing is too wild to wager on.
