#EsportsTradingSeason

The biggest esports summer of 2026 is here, and Gate has launched a massive event that lets you turn your esports knowledge into real rewards. Whether you follow LoL, Dota 2, Counter-Strike, Valorant, or any other top esports title, this is your chance to predict match outcomes and earn while doing it. Let me walk you through every single detail so you can jump in and start earning from day one.

The event is called the Esports Peak Trading Season, and it runs from July 20, 2026 at 16:00 to August 10, 2026 at 16:00, all times in UTC+8. That gives you roughly three full weeks to participate, complete weekly tasks, climb the leaderboard, and claim your share of the prize pool. The entire event revolves around the Gate Polymarket esports prediction section, where you can place predictions on individual match results, tournament outcomes, and even final champions across multiple esports competitions running this summer including EWC, LPL, LCK and more.

Before anything else, you must register on the event page. Head to the campaign page on Gate, click the registration button, and make sure your identity verification is complete. Only after successful registration will your prediction trades count toward tasks and the leaderboard. Any trades made before registration will not be included, so register first and then start trading. This is a critical step that many people overlook, so do it right away before placing any predictions.

Once registered, go to the Gate Polymarket esports section and pick any esports event or champion prediction market that interests you. You can predict which team wins a specific match, who takes the tournament title, or any other outcome available in the esports category. Every prediction you make counts toward your weekly task volume and your total leaderboard volume, so the more you predict, the more rewards you unlock.

The first major activity is the Esports Prediction Newcomer Bonus. If you are new to the Polymarket esports section and complete your first prediction trade of at least 100 USDT during the event period, you receive a 5 USDT prediction market voucher. This is limited to the first 500 users only, so act quickly if you want to grab this bonus. The voucher can only be used on Gate Polymarket esports markets and cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or converted to cash. But it effectively gives you five dollars of free trading credit to continue making predictions, which is a nice head start for anyone trying the platform for the first time.

The second major activity is the Weekly Prediction Trading Tasks, and this is where the recurring rewards come in. Every week during the event, you have a set of volume targets to hit. Each target unlocks a specific voucher amount. The targets reset every seven days from your registration time, so you can hit them again and again across multiple weeks. Here are the targets and their corresponding rewards. If your weekly cumulative prediction volume reaches 5,000 USDT, you earn a 5 USDT voucher. At 20,000 USDT, you earn a 10 USDT voucher. At 50,000 USDT, you earn a 20 USDT voucher. At 200,000 USDT, you earn a 100 USDT voucher. And at 500,000 USDT, you earn a 200 USDT voucher. These weekly tasks are tracked independently each cycle, so if you hit 50,000 USDT in week one, you get 20 USDT. If you hit 50,000 USDT again in week two, you get another 20 USDT. The vouchers stack with leaderboard and champion prediction rewards, meaning you are not choosing between them. You can collect all of them simultaneously.

The third and most competitive activity is the Esports Prediction Trading Leaderboard. This is the big one. Throughout the entire event, every valid prediction trade you make on designated esports markets contributes to your total cumulative volume. At the end of the event, the top 100 users by total volume who also meet minimum volume thresholds will share a massive 50,000 USDT prize pool. The breakdown is as follows. The first place winner receives 10,000 USDT but must have at least 10,000,000 USDT in cumulative volume. Second place receives 6,000 USDT with a minimum of 6,000,000 USDT. Third place receives 4,000 USDT with a minimum of 4,000,000 USDT. Places four through ten share 10,000 USDT equally among themselves, each needing at least 1,000,000 USDT. Places eleven through thirty also share 10,000 USDT equally, with each requiring at least 100,000 USDT. Places thirty-one through one hundred share 10,000 USDT proportional to each person's trading volume relative to the group, with a minimum threshold of 10,000 USDT per person. If you land in a rank bracket but fall short of the minimum volume for that bracket, you will not receive that bracket's reward. If fewer users qualify in a bracket than expected, the unclaimed portion does not roll down or redistribute. For the thirty-one to one hundred bracket, your share is calculated based on your individual volume as a proportion of all qualifying users' volume in that bracket, and anyone below 10,000 USDT gets nothing from that portion. Ranking priority goes to higher cumulative volume first, and if two users have identical volume, the one who reached that volume earlier gets the higher rank.

There are some important rules and restrictions to keep in mind. You must register on the event page and complete identity verification before your trades count. Only trades made after successful registration are included. Weekly task rewards are automatically distributed after each weekly cycle ends and data verification is completed. Leaderboard rewards are distributed within fourteen working days after the event ends, all markets settle, and audits pass. If any related market gets cancelled, delayed, closed early, settles abnormally, or cannot settle properly, Gate may adjust or cancel the corresponding tasks, points, and rewards. Mass registration, volume manipulation, self-trading, mutual wash trading, abnormal arbitrage, fake trades, market manipulation, or exploiting system vulnerabilities are strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification. Multiple accounts under the same verified identity are treated as one participant. Sub-accounts cannot participate. API users, market makers, enterprise accounts, institution accounts, and restricted accounts are excluded from this event. This event is independently organized by Gate and is not sponsored, endorsed, or authorized by any tournament organizer, game publisher, participating team, or player. The Polymarket prediction market service may be subject to legal restrictions in your jurisdiction, and you should confirm your eligibility before participating. Using fake identities, VPNs, or other methods to bypass regional restrictions and platform risk controls is prohibited. This event does not constitute investment advice, gambling advice, match prediction advice, or a guarantee of returns. Prediction market trading carries risks including price volatility, liquidity issues, market closure, settlement complications, and compliance risks. Users in the UK and other restricted regions may not be able to access all or part of the services, and you should refer to the Gate User Agreement for details. Gate reserves the right to adjust event rules, prize pools, and timing based on tournament arrangements, market conditions, system anomalies, compliance requirements, or force majeure. Gate holds final interpretation authority for this event.

To summarize how to get started, here is your step by step path. First, log into your Gate account or create one if you are new. Second, go to the event campaign page and click the registration button. Third, complete identity verification if you have not already done so. Fourth, navigate to the Gate Polymarket esports section. Fifth, choose any esports match or champion prediction market that catches your attention. Sixth, place your prediction trades and watch your weekly volume grow toward task rewards. Seventh, keep trading across all three weeks to accumulate as much total volume as possible for the leaderboard. Eighth, claim your vouchers after each weekly cycle and wait for the final leaderboard distribution after the event concludes. The key strategy is consistency. Since weekly tasks reset every seven days, you should aim to hit at least the 5,000 USDT threshold each week to collect the base voucher, and ideally push higher to unlock larger ones. Meanwhile, every dollar of volume also feeds your leaderboard total, so there is no wasted effort. Even if you are not aiming for the top ten, reaching the 10,000 USDT minimum for the thirty-one to one hundred bracket gives you a proportional share of 10,000 USDT, which could be a meaningful reward for consistent participation over three weeks.

This event is a rare opportunity to combine your passion for esports with actual financial rewards. You already watch the matches, you already have opinions on who wins, and now you can put those opinions on the Polymarket and earn vouchers and prize pool shares for doing it. Whether you are a casual viewer who just wants the newcomer bonus or a dedicated trader aiming for the leaderboard top spots, there is something here for everyone. Register now, start predicting, and make this esports summer pay off.@Gate_Square #SummerCreationCamp
