# Bankroll & Daily Refill

This page replaces the old pre-market funding guide for paper mode.

## Starting bankroll

Every paper account starts with:

* **10,000 POLL**

This is your free balance for creating markets and trading shares.

## Daily refill

Paper mode includes a recovery mechanic so new users do not get stuck forever.

* If your balance is **1,000 POLL or higher**, refill is unavailable.
* If your balance falls **below 1,000 POLL**, you can refill back to **2,500 POLL**.
* Refill is limited to **once every 24 hours**.

## Why refill exists

Paper trading is supposed to help people learn:

* how prices move
* how market structure feels
* how good their forecasting actually is

The refill keeps the product usable even after a bad streak.

## What does not reset

Refill changes your available bankroll. It does not erase:

* your trading history
* your market history
* your leaderboard record
* your resolved wins and losses

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://polypoll.gitbook.io/polypoll-docs/user-guide/funding-pre-markets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
