Polymarket Reviews Dozens of New Wallets Behind Israel Election Bets

Polymarket is reviewing dozens of new wallets that placed well-timed bets on Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party shortly before polls closed in Israel’s Oct. 27 election, with some accounts having already cashed out over $100,000 combined. Hundreds of new accounts backed the Israeli prime minister and his party ahead of the vote.

The pattern here — a wave of freshly created wallets clustering on the winning side just before polls closed — is the kind of signal prediction markets have struggled to police, since on-chain transparency exposes positioning but not intent. It matters most for Polymarket itself, whose credibility on political events depends on resolving whether this was informed conviction or access to non-public information. Whether the review produces a public finding, and whether similar wallet-creation patterns show up in future political markets, is the open question.
