Polymarket pays over 800 participants to quote-retweet its esports accounts on X, ReaderGrev reported, citing internal Discord posts. Representatives put participation at 300+ in August and 800+ two months later. Payments range from $10 to several hundred per post and are made in crypto.

Participants submit posts through PolyTrack, which tracks earnings, while staff review captions. Rates depend on participants' prior view counts rather than engagement on the paid posts. Representatives urged participants to make posts appear organic, but onboarding guidelines require clear disclosure and prohibit recommending specific trades. Polymarket did not respond to the outlet's requests for comment.
