You already know that the regular Quest gives $2,000 to the top 20 traders every month.
But we just made it bigger. A lot bigger.
For June and July, the Bayse Quest is getting a World Cup upgrade, $10,000 shared among the top 100 traders across the most watched sporting event on earth. Five times the money. Five times as many winners.
Here is everything you need to know.
First Things First — What Qualifies?
This is important. Only World Cup markets count toward the World Cup leaderboard.
Not FX markets. Not election markets. Not crypto markets, only World Cup markets count..
Every time you trade a World Cup market on Bayse, you earn points. Every point you earn goes toward your position on the leaderboard. The top 100 traders by points at the end of July 19 share the $10,000.
That is all. Trade World Cup markets, earn points, climb the leaderboard.
When Do Points Start?
Volume and PnL points start accumulating from June 1st, before the tournament even begins. If there are World Cup markets live before June 11, trade them. Every point counts.
Streak points start June 11th when the first ball is kicked. You’d learn more on streaks below.
How Do You Earn Points?
There are three ways to earn points on the World Cup leaderboard.
Trading volume.
Every $10 you trade on World Cup markets earns you 5 points. Trade $50 and you earn 25 points. It is that simple.
Profitability.
Every $0.5 in profit you generate earns you 5 points. This rewards accuracy, not just activity. As a result, the better your predictions, the more points you collect beyond just volume.
Streaks.
Now, this is where the big points live. Trade at least $10 on World Cup markets every single day and your streak builds. However, miss a day and it resets to zero.
The streak milestones:
Hit Day 7 and you earn 2,000 bonus points. By Day 14, that is another 2,000. Day 21 adds 3,000 more, and Day 28 adds another 3,000 on top of that.
Full streak June 11th to July 19th — 10,000 additional points
Complete the full tournament streak and you earn 20,000 points from streaks alone before a single volume or profitability point is counted. In short, that is how important consistency is on this leaderboard.
How Is the $10,000 Split?
This is different from the regular Quest and it is worth understanding properly.
With the regular Quest, first place gets $250, full stop. The World Cup leaderboard is a bit more dynamic.
Here is how it works.
At the end of July 19th, Bayse adds up the total points of every user in the top 100. The $10,000 is divided by that total to get a value per point. Your payout is your points multiplied by that value.
Sounds complicated? Here’s a simple example.
If the top 100 traders collectively earn 1,000,000 points, each point is worth $0.01. Someone with 50,000 points earns $500. Meanwhile, a trader with 100,000 points earns $1,000.
What this means in practice: nobody locks in a rank and disappears.
The leaderboard stays competitive until the final whistle on July 19th. The more you trade, the more accurate you are, and the more consistently you show up, the bigger your share.
Ultimately, it rewards the best traders, not just the earliest ones.
