Rewards, Referrals, And Rebates
PredictDog includes account-linked incentive systems beyond direct trading.
The current web Rewards page brings together tier status, rolling 30-day fees, Bones, daily tasks, mystery boxes, cash back, and referrals in one account-linked surface.
Best way to think about this section
This is where users should go when the question is no longer only about execution, but about what long-term account value is being created around that activity.
What this category covers
- referral flows
- rebate-related benefits
- reward tracking tied to account activity
- product incentives that appear in the rewards area
Depending on the current product surface, this can also overlap with Bones, tasks, or other dashboard-visible reward mechanics.
What is live today
The current rewards experience on web centers on four user-visible systems:
- Bones
- tier-based cash back
- referrals
- mystery boxes and daily tasks
How users should think about rewards
Rewards are part of the broader account experience. They are not completely separate from trading, funding, or account state.
That is why the rewards dashboard on web is the main place to understand:
- what you have earned
- what is pending
- how referrals and rebates relate to your activity
Current tier rules
Your current tier is based on rolling 30-day trading volume, not on Bones balance.
Current configured levels:
| Tier | Rolling 30D Trading Volume | Cash Back Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Pup | $0 to < $200 | 0% |
| Tracker | $200 to < $900 | 8% |
| Hunter | $900 to < $3,500 | 14% |
| Wolf | $3,500 to < $11,000 | 20% |
| Alpha | $11,000+ | 30% |
Practical rules:
- new users default to
Pupif no higher active tier applies - the rewards page shows your current rolling 30D trading volume, current tier, and current cash back rate
- time-limited entitlements such as referral trial or mystery box prizes can temporarily upgrade the effective tier shown to the user
Current daily task rules
Daily tasks currently use a shared daily cap of 150 Bones.
Current configured tasks:
| Task | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Daily Trade | At least one qualifying trade with executed notional of $5 or more |
| Daily View | View 3 unique markets |
Practical rules:
- task rewards are claim-based, not automatic on page load
- once the daily cap is reached, additional completed tasks can stop being claimable that day
- the rewards page shows both the remaining Bones available for the day and each task's progress state
Current referral rules
PredictDog currently uses a single referral share level for rebate accrual and daily referral reward settlement.
Current configured referral share rates:
| Level | Share |
|---|---|
| L1 | 30% |
Current user-visible referral behavior:
- your referral code is created per user and shown in the Rewards page
- the rewards page shows direct referrals, active referrals in the last 30 days, and total referral Bones earned
- standard referral signup currently gives the referred user a
Trackertrial for7 days - official invite codes currently give the referred user
Alphatier for90 days - the referral summary treats active referral trials started within the last
30 daysas the active-trial metric shown to the user
Important distinction:
- referral Bones are a reward surface
- referral cash back is a separate fee-rebate surface
These are related, but they are not the same metric.
Current cash back rules
Cash back in the rewards UI currently combines:
- direct tier cash back
- referral cash back
What users can currently see:
- pending cash back
- cash back activity history
- a top earners leaderboard
- separate activity filters for
All Sources,Direct Tier, andReferral
Current cash back logic users should know:
- your direct cash back rate comes from your current tier table above
- referral cash back uses the configured referral share structure and is shown separately in rewards activity
- not every rebate appears instantly in the same shape; the UI distinguishes pending, settling, and paid totals
Current mystery box rules
Mystery boxes are currently enabled and cost 1,000 Bones per open.
Current configured open rules:
- cost:
1,000 Bones - cooldown:
72 hours - max consecutive opens before cooldown lock:
3 - max stacked buff duration:
192 hours
Current rarity table:
| Rarity | Probability | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 70.00% | Alpha 6H Trial |
| Rare | 22.00% | Alpha 1D Trial |
| Epic | 7.00% | Alpha 3D Trial |
| Legendary | 1.00% | Alpha 5D Trial |
Practical rules:
- mystery boxes currently grant tier entitlements, not extra Bones
- the rewards page shows whether a box is openable, current cooldown state, consecutive open count, and recent opens
- if you do not have enough Bones or you hit cooldown or stack limits, the box can be visible but not openable
Why web is the main surface
Rewards usually need broader account context than a single chat message can show.
Users often need to understand:
- whether a reward is already earned or still pending
- how trading or referrals affected the result
- how one rewards surface relates to another
Referral behavior
Referral handling begins during signup but continues as an account-level feature afterward. That is why PredictDog separates signup identity flow from long-term rewards and referral tracking.
Common mistake
Users sometimes treat rewards as an isolated bonus system. In practice, rewards, referrals, and rebates are easier to understand when read alongside account activity and product usage on web.
