Polymarket Referral Program: Earn Up to 30% Commission

How Polymarket's referral program works — earn 30% on direct referrals and 10% on second-level referrals with no earnings cap.

Polymarket has launched a Referral Program that lets eligible users earn a share of the trading fees generated by people they refer. Unlike a simple one-tier affiliate setup, this program includes two levels of commissions — making it one of the most rewarding referral structures in the prediction market space.

How It Works

  1. Get your referral link at polymarket.com/refer. You can also grab it from any market page while logged in.
  2. Share the link — when someone signs up through your link and starts trading, you earn a percentage of the trading fees they pay.
  3. Earn on two levels — if your referral also refers new users, you earn from their referrals too.

Commission Structure

| Level | Rate | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | Direct referral | 30% | You earn 30% of the gross trading fees paid by each user you refer directly | | Second-level referral | 10% | You also earn 10% of the fees paid by users your referrals bring in |

Example: You refer Alice. Alice refers Bob.

  • You earn 30% of Alice's trading fees
  • You earn 10% of Bob's trading fees
  • Alice earns 30% of Bob's trading fees

Key Details

  • Eligibility: You need at least $10,000 in trading volume on Polymarket to join the program.
  • 180-day window: Commissions apply to fees generated within 180 days of the referred user's signup. This period may change.
  • Not all markets have fees: You only earn from markets that charge trading fees. Zero-fee markets won't generate referral income.
  • Daily payouts: Earnings are credited once per day at midnight UTC.
  • No earnings cap: There is no limit on how much you can earn. More active referrals = more income.

Who Is This For?

  • Content creators writing about prediction markets
  • Traders with a following or community
  • Anyone with a network of people interested in trading on Polymarket

The two-tier structure gives you an incentive to not just refer users, but to refer people who will also spread the word — creating a compounding network effect.

Rules & Restrictions

Polymarket reserves the right to disqualify referrals that violate their Terms of Service, including:

  • Self-referrals (creating multiple accounts to refer yourself)
  • Inauthentic trading (wash trading or manipulated volume)

Play fair and the program works in your favor.
