BotCookery publishes general, impersonal build recipes. We don't give picks or signals, we don't manage accounts, and we don't host, run or copy-trade bots for anyone. Trading event contracts can lose you money, and AI-written code can have serious bugs. Start in paper or demo mode, read the code before you run it, follow each venue's terms, and only trade where it's legal for you.
US users: stick to Kalshi and Polymarket US , and never use a VPN to get around a geoblock. Full disclaimer . The Daily Bot Recipe One new build recipe, one safety tip, and API changes worth knowing about. Free. No picks, ever.
