Polymarket is the world’s leading prediction market, and its affiliate program pays creators from every trade their referrals make, across both Predictions and its newer Perps product. Crowdcreate researched 300+ influencers to identify the creators with the most influence across Polymarket’s trading and financial markets, showed what each one charges and who is actively talking about prediction markets right now, and advised Polymarket on the creator brief.
Prediction markets & DeFi PerpsHighlights
Polymarket lets people trade on the outcomes of real-world events. Polymarket.com is its global DeFi platform, where users connect a wallet and start trading in seconds, with prediction markets and Perps (leveraged crypto and real-world asset trading) in one place. Polymarket.us is a separate, CFTC-regulated platform for US residents with its own affiliate program.
Polymarket’s affiliate program lets creators earn a share of the trading fees paid by the users they refer.
Polymarket’s attribution rewards activity, not just reach. A referral stays with the affiliate who is actively driving that user’s trades, and any trader can be won over once another affiliate goes quiet. Nobody keeps a user just for being first.
That makes the best partners creators with real influence in the markets Polymarket covers who also post consistently. Polymarket asked Crowdcreate to find them across its trading and financial markets, show what each one charges so its affiliate team could prioritize outreach, and help shape the brief those creators receive.
We researched more than 300 influencers to find the creators with the most influence over Polymarket’s audience.

How Polymarket’s affiliate program works, summarized from the playbook it shares with partners.
A single polymarket.com link earns commission on Predictions and Perps. Users connect a wallet and trade in seconds, with no long onboarding to lose them.
New users are credited to the affiliate whose link created the account. Each new click on that affiliate’s link resets the 30-day window; if the clicks stop, the user becomes available again.
Any Polymarket user who isn’t inside another affiliate’s active window can be won with a single click, so creators can earn from traders who joined years ago.
Commission comes from the fees users actually pay, a blended average of around 0.8%, not from net fees after maker rebates as at most exchanges.
What an affiliate earns on $10M of referred trading volume. Example from Polymarket’s affiliate playbook.
Perps: 20% lifetime commission, with last-click attribution and a 30-day cookie window.
Perks for top partners: merch boxes, an X badge, event invites and even custom markets.
Finding the right creators is half the job. Crowdcreate also advised Polymarket on its creator brief, built around the habits its affiliate playbook ties to the most referrals.
Polymarket sees a direct link between how often affiliates post and how many referrals they bring. Some top partners post once or twice a day or more, and there’s always a new market to talk about.
Link to the exact market or trader you’re discussing. The strongest posts share a take on a specific market or spotlight a successful trader worth copying. A vague “trade on Polymarket” doesn’t convert.
Post while events are live and markets are moving. A link shared mid-event converts; the same link a day later rarely does.
Referrals stay with the affiliate who keeps driving a user’s trades, so the brief sets a steady posting cadence instead of a one-off post.
Polymarket.com and Polymarket.us run separate affiliate programs, so each creator uses the link that fits where their audience is.
Every post clearly marks the affiliate relationship, in line with the FTC’s endorsement rules and each platform’s policies.
