What "RFQ" means

You'll occasionally see RFQ (Request For Quote) shown in place of a price on a market. Two reasons that can happen:

1. No liquidity. The market has no resting orders on at least one side, so there's no fair price to display.
2. Identical odds on both sides. YES and NO show the same number, which usually indicates a data-integrity issue. Rather than mislead you, we hide the price.

In either case, never trust an "RFQ" cell as a real price. We're explicitly telling you the number isn't reliable.

What you can do

• Wait for liquidity. Many markets fill in as the event approaches (game day, election day, etc.). Refresh later.
• Check a related market. Soccer matches have three markets per game. If one shows RFQ, the other two may not.
• Email support. If a market should have liquidity but consistently shows RFQ, open a support ticket wants to know.

Why this exists

Showing fake odds is worse than showing nothing. Some platforms quote a synthetic mid-price even when the order book is empty — it makes the UI feel "alive" but the price isn't tradable. We chose the opposite default: real odds or no odds.

That's an intentional trade-off. New markets and slower-moving markets will sometimes look bare. As soon as a maker posts an order or an event nears its resolution time, the RFQ cell becomes a real price.

In strategy cards

You'll also see "RFQ" on multi-leg strategies. A strategy's combined odds switch to "RFQ" if any single leg lacks liquidity, since the whole combo can't be priced fairly.
