Clarity on what we are in the UAE

Lobi is a published research product, with Brier-scored probability forecasts on markets that already trade on Polymarket, Kalshi, and other venues.

We are not licensed as an investment adviser under DFSA, FSRA, or SCA. We do not solicit, take discretion, or manage capital.

Suitability of any signal for a regulated UAE desk is the subscriber's responsibility.

FAQ

Operational and regulatory questions.

No. Lobi is an information product only. We publish probability research and do not act as a licensed adviser, broker, or venue operator in the UAE.

What is the halal perspective?
