What additional rewards can you get by participating in the Gate prediction market? Overview of the latest event rules

The 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico has entered the knockout stage, and global prediction market activity has surged to new heights. As the first centralized exchange to integrate the decentralized prediction platform Polymarket, Gate has continued to roll out multi-tiered prediction activities and reward mechanisms around the World Cup schedule since completing the integration in March 2026. For users who are interested in prediction markets, understanding what activities are available right now, what additional rewards you can earn, and how to participate is the first step to maximizing your participation value.

Overall Framework of Prediction Market Events and Total Prize Pool Size

Gate has launched a series of themed events centered around the 2026 World Cup, with the core theme of “Green Pitch Prophet, World Cup Prediction Carnival.” The event period runs from 2026-06-04 16:00 to 2026-07-21 16:00 (UTC+8), covering the entire World Cup. The total prize pool for this series exceeds 500,000 USDT, covering rewards across the full chain—from beginner experience to deep participation.

In terms of event structure, Gate’s prediction market reward system is divided into four main tiers: Daily Focus Match Challenge, Exclusive New User Rewards, Lucky Draw Prize Pool, and Leaderboard Competition. Each tier corresponds to different participation thresholds and reward forms. Users can choose the path that best fits their trading experience and level of participation.

Daily Focus Match Prediction: Participate to Earn, No Need to Predict Correctly

Daily Focus Match Prediction is one of the events in Gate’s prediction market with the broadest coverage and the lowest participation threshold. Gate has selected 35 focus matches from the entire World Cup schedule as designated challenge matches. Each match has a 1,000 USDT prize pool, for a total of 35,000 USDT shared in rewards.

The core rules are as follows:

After registering for the event, if users participate in that day’s focus match prediction and the trading amount is no less than 50 USDT, they can receive a 10 USDT reward.

Please note: the prediction result does not affect reward eligibility—whether the prediction is correct or incorrect, as long as you complete a qualifying prediction trade meeting the requirements, you can claim the reward. This mechanism significantly lowers the psychological barrier to participation, allowing more users to experience the prediction market with less risk.

However, this reward has a quota limit: only the first 100 users per day are eligible on a first-come, first-served basis; a single user can receive up to 200 USDT in cumulative rewards. Rewards are distributed weekly. For users who want to consistently secure daily rewards, participating early is key.

As the tournament progresses, Gate has expanded the event scope to the Round of 16 and Quarter-finals stages. For example, taking the quarter-final focus matches launched on July 9 as an example: the four quarter-final focus matches share a total reward of 4,000 USDT to be divided. The event pace advances in sync with the World Cup schedule—each key focus matchup in the knockout stage corresponds to an independent opportunity for rewards.

Exclusive New User Rewards: Unlock Rewards with First Participation

For users who are encountering Gate’s prediction market for the first time, the platform provides a dedicated onboarding rewards channel.

During the event, new users participating in Gate’s prediction market for the first time can earn a 10 USDT new user reward after completing any World Cup focus match prediction with a trading amount of no less than 20 USDT.

This reward also has a quota limit: only the first 1,000 eligible new users can participate on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that the new user reward cannot be combined with the Daily Focus Match Prediction reward (Benefit 1). New users need to choose the applicable reward path based on their situation when participating for the first time.

The logic behind this mechanism is to reduce the initial participation cost for new users—the 20 USDT trading amount threshold is far lower than the regular 50 USDT threshold, aiming to help beginners complete their first prediction market experience with a smaller capital amount.

Lucky Draw Prize: The Higher Your Cumulative Trading Volume, the Richer the Rewards

In addition to the daily rewards and new user rewards, Gate also sets up a Lucky Draw prize pool for all active participants.

During the event, users whose cumulative World Cup prediction trading amount reaches 500 USDT will automatically be granted eligibility for the Lucky Draw and participate in dividing the 5,000 USDT prize pool.

The allocation method is as follows: after the event ends, the platform will distribute rewards based on the proportion of each qualifying user’s cumulative World Cup prediction trading volume—the higher the cumulative trading volume, the higher the reward. This means the reward is not a fixed amount; it is positively correlated with the depth of a user’s overall participation.

The design of the Lucky Draw encourages users to keep participating instead of making a one-time trade. It complements the daily challenge: the former rewards participation frequency, while the latter rewards cumulative volume.

Leaderboard Competition: More Precise Predictions Bring Higher Returns

For users with strong prediction analysis capabilities, Gate also launches a leaderboard competition based on prediction accuracy.

The Gate World Cup Prediction King Contest has launched. Users can participate in the leaderboard competition and share a 100,000 USDT prize pool. Users make predictions in the Gate Polymarket World Cup section, and correct predictions earn points for users based on the payout multiplier. Points are calculated as: Points = (Payout Multiplier - 1) × 100.

The leaderboard is divided into two independent boards: Match Predictions and Fun Bets, each with a 50,000 USDT prize pool. Users can participate in both boards. The prediction scope covers multiple dimensions such as match winners, total goals, the champion, the Golden Boot winner, and the finalist teams, among others.

Unlike the “participate to earn” mechanism mentioned earlier, the rewards in the leaderboard competition are directly linked to prediction accuracy—the more precise the prediction and the higher the payout multiplier, the faster the points accumulate and the higher the ranking. This mechanism is better suited for users who have conducted in-depth research on the matches.

Please note before participating in the leaderboard: users must first register on the event page; only trades made after registration will count toward points. Points are calculated based on the actual returns obtained—regardless of whether the user sells early or holds until settlement. The event runs until 8:00 UTC on July 21.

Community Interaction Rewards: Posting Check-Ins and Live Stream Interaction

In addition to rewards brought by prediction trades themselves, Gate provides users with additional ways to earn rewards through community interaction channels.

Gate Square has launched a posting check-in activity called “World Cup Champion Prediction,” running from 2026-07-07 17:00 to 2026-07-12 24:00 (UTC+8). Users can publish posts on Gate Square with the #WorldCupChampionPrediction tag or participate in related topic discussions to win daily rewards. New users can receive 20 USDT for their first post, and consecutive check-ins can accumulate up to 300 USDT.

Additionally, adding “World Cup Predictions” to live stream titles and discussing related topics can earn extra promotional exposure and live room airdrops. Live stream interaction rewards are independent of prediction trade rewards, so users can participate in both at the same time.

Event Participation Process and Reward Claim Notes

Combining all the above activities, the standard process for participating in Gate’s latest prediction market events is as follows:

Step 1: Log in to your Gate account, enter the event page, and click “Join Now” to complete registration. Note: if you conduct prediction trades without completing registration, those trades will not be counted toward event reward eligibility.

Step 2: Complete identity verification (KYC). Users who have not completed identity verification cannot claim event rewards.

Step 3: Enter Gate’s prediction market (App Home → Alpha → Polymarket), and select a World Cup focus match to make a prediction.

Step 4: Complete a prediction trade that meets the corresponding event thresholds (new users no less than 20 USDT; daily challenges no less than 50 USDT).

Step 5: Wait for settlement and reward distribution. Rewards will be distributed to users’ accounts within 14 working days after the event ends.

Reward form explanation: All rewards distributed in this event are “prediction market experience vouchers.” They cannot be withdrawn directly and can only be used to participate in prediction market trading on the platform. The profitable portion generated from using prediction market experience vouchers to make predictions can be withdrawn. Experience vouchers have a validity period; any unused trial funds will automatically expire.

Trading volume calculation: Prediction market trading volume = Amount of Yes shares bought + Amount of No shares bought + Amount of sells in the secondary market, all denominated in USDT.

Summary

Gate’s prediction market currently builds a multi-tiered reward system around the 2026 World Cup. From the fixed 10 USDT reward for daily focus match predictions, to the 10 USDT exclusive onboarding favor for new users, to the Lucky Draw pool of 5,000 USDT allocated proportionally, as well as the 100,000 USDT prize pool for the leaderboard competition—users with different participation depths can all find reward paths that fit them.

Key points recap:

• Daily Challenge: Trading amount ≥ 50 USDT to earn 10 USDT; first 100 users per day; single-user cumulative cap 200 USDT; whether the prediction is correct does not affect reward eligibility
• New User Favor: First participation with trading amount ≥ 20 USDT earns 10 USDT, limited to the first 1,000 users
• Lucky Draw Prize: Cumulative trading amount ≥ 500 USDT automatically grants eligibility to share; allocation is based on trading volume proportion
• Leaderboard Competition: Points based on prediction accuracy and payout-multiplier returns; two boards with 50,000 USDT prize pools each
• Community Interaction: Posting check-ins and live stream interactions can earn extra rewards

Please be sure to confirm before participating: complete registration on the event page, pass identity verification, and understand the experience voucher usage rules and validity period. All events have quota limits and time windows. It is recommended that users plan their participation strategy as early as possible based on their situation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Do I need to pay gas fees to participate in Gate’s prediction market events?

No. Gate’s prediction market completes buy-and-sell order processing via wallet offline signatures, with the system paying the network fees on behalf of users, so users do not need to bear any additional gas fees.

Q2: How are rewards settled when the prediction is correct?

The prediction market uses a binary settlement mechanism. When a prediction is correct, the shares are settled at a 1:1 ratio into stablecoins and directly transferred into the user’s spot account. Users can claim the winning rewards for multiple events with one click on the Assets page.

Q3: Can I receive both the daily focus match prediction rewards and the leaderboard rewards at the same time?

Yes. The daily focus match prediction reward and the leaderboard competition reward belong to different event systems, so users can participate in both and receive the corresponding rewards separately. However, the daily focus match prediction reward (Benefit 1) and the new user reward (Benefit 2) cannot be combined.

Q4: Can prediction market experience vouchers be withdrawn?

No. Prediction market experience vouchers cannot be withdrawn directly. They are only for use in prediction market trading on the platform. However, the profit portion generated from using experience vouchers to make predictions can be withdrawn. Experience vouchers have a validity period; any unused vouchers will automatically expire after the deadline.

Q5: Can sub-accounts participate in prediction market events?

No. Sub-accounts, market maker accounts, corporate accounts, institutional accounts, and agent accounts are all not allowed to participate in prediction market events. Multiple accounts under the same verified user will be treated as the same account.

Q6: If a match is postponed or canceled, how are my already-submitted predictions handled?

If the match is postponed, canceled, rescheduled, interrupted, if the ruling changes, the market is closed, or other force majeure circumstances occur, Gate has the right to adjust, suspend, or cancel the relevant market and event reward(s) based on the actual situation. The specific handling will be based on the Gate prediction market page and the actual settlement results.
