According to Politico, Polymarket’s Chief Marketing Officer Matthew Modabber paid more than $2.5 million to over 800 people via his personal PayPal account between January 2025 and February 2026. Among them, about 20 content creators whose identities were verified by Politico published at least 490 pieces of Polymarket-related content after receiving payments, and they did not clearly disclose paid collaborations. Polymarket responded that working with influencers is a routine business practice, but it did not address issues related to disclosure policies, personal account payments, or tax reporting.
