1. What Is the Prediction Markets Bonus
The Prediction Markets bonus is a virtual reward issued by MEXC for trading selected Prediction Markets events without committing real funds.
- If your prediction is correct: the profit is credited to your account as real funds and can be withdrawn as normal.
- If your prediction is wrong: only the bonus is forfeited. None of the real assets in your account are affected.
For users new to Prediction Markets, the bonus provides an opportunity to get started without using their own funds.
2. How to Obtain a Prediction Markets Bonus
There are two ways to receive a bonus:
1) Event rewards: take part in platform events, such as Global Football events or trading volume challenges, to earn bonuses.
2) Invited users: selected users can claim a bonus directly from an event landing page or in-app banner.
Note: Some events verify eligibility on a daily basis, and your claim may fail if you no longer meet the requirements. Event rules prevail in all cases.
3. How to View Your Prediction Markets Bonus
Once issued, your bonus is held in your Prediction Markets account.
View your bonus balance: Go to Prediction Markets → tap the bonus icon under Sports or Portfolio → My Bonuses → Unused.
View your bonus usage records: Go to Prediction Markets → tap the bonus icon under Sports or Portfolio → My Bonuses → Used.
4. How to Use a Prediction Markets Bonus
The bonus can be used for single-event predictions on designated events and for Combo orders, subject to the actual event rules.
Steps: Go to Prediction Markets → tap the bonus icon under Sports or Portfolio → My Bonuses → Predict Now → select a Combo or Hot event in the Bonus Section → check Use bonus → swipe to place your order.
A few things to know before you predict with a bonus:
1) You do not need to enter an amount manually. The system calculates how many shares you can buy based on the face value of the bonus and the current market price.
2) Each bonus can only be used once. It is redeemed as soon as the order is successfully placed, and cannot be split or reused.
3) Bonus positions are buy-to-open only. They cannot be sold or transferred while held, and must be held until the event settles.
4) Bonus prediction is completely free: no fee on the order, and no fee when it settles.
5) Bonus orders create virtual positions for settlement purposes only. They do not enter the real order book and have no effect on market prices.
To view your bonus positions: Go to Prediction Markets → Portfolio → Bonus Positions or History.
5. Restrictions on Using a Prediction Markets Bonus
To ensure fairness, the bonus cannot be used to place orders in the following cases:
1) Prediction Markets only: The bonus is available for predictions made using USDT only and cannot be used for any other product.
2) Price deviation: Bonus orders are temporarily unavailable when the latest market price deviates from the best ask by more than a set percentage, subject to the actual event rules.
3) Live events: Once a sports event has started and is live, the bonus can no longer be used.
4) Opposite positions: You cannot hold bonus positions on both outcomes of the same event. If you already hold a bonus position on one outcome, you cannot use a bonus on the opposite outcome, whether traded as a single event or within a Combo.
5) Combo limits: The bonus cannot be used on a Combo that exceeds the maximum number of events, subject to the actual event rules.
6) Cumulative profit cap: Once your total profit from bonus prediction exceeds a specific limit, no further bonus orders can be placed, subject to the actual event rules.

8.1 Can the bonus be withdrawn?
The bonus principal cannot be withdrawn, but any profit you earn from bonus trading can be withdrawn as normal.
