But predictit is not a usual financial construction. For example, the first thing it says is:

> PredictIt is intended and offered as an experimental research and educational facility of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (“Provider” or “We”), not as an investment market or a gambling facility. PredictIt is not regulated by, nor are its operators registered with, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) or any other regulatory authority.

I don't know precisely what that means for segregation of funds, but I don't want to just assume they work the way I would imagine them to work.
