Polymarket US overhauls maker and taker rebates from Oct. 19, with no maker rebate below $10M in monthly volume

Polymarket US changes rebate terms
Polymarket US will revise its maker and taker rebates starting Oct. 19, according to the supplied headline accompanying a Gambling Insider source link. The change includes no maker rebate for monthly volume below $10M.
The update, published Oct 15, 2026 at 4:54 PM ET, puts a monthly-volume threshold at the center of the maker rebate changes. The available material does not specify the rebate available at or above $10M.
Taker rebates are also part of the overhaul, but the supplied headline gives no rates or eligibility conditions. It therefore does not establish how the changes will affect takers’ trading costs.
The linked Gambling Insider page text was unavailable. Details such as how qualifying monthly volume is calculated and how the Oct. 19 start date applies to October activity could not be established from the supplied material.
What it means for prediction markets
- Maker eligibility: Monthly volume below $10M will not qualify for a maker rebate under the announced change.
- Incomplete cost picture: Without the revised taker terms or maker rebate rates at higher volumes, the overall effect on trading incentives remains unclear.
- Implementation matters: The treatment of volume around the Oct. 19 effective date remains an important unresolved detail.
