Bybit launched ByPick on September 28, 2026, a free-to-play prediction game where users forecast crypto, sports and esports outcomes for points. Leaderboard climbers compete for shares of a 100,000 USDT prize pool, and joining requires no deposit.
The Brief
- Bybit, which says more than 80 million users trust its platform, runs ByPick as a points game inside its app.
- New players receive 200 Campaign Points once at registration, with no deposit or trading task needed to claim them.
- Daily top-ups back to the 200-point floor go only to eligible users who completed a trade that same day.
- Prize money sits in two pools, Standard and Grand, with users sorted by a 10,000 USDT cumulative trading-volume threshold.
ByPick scores picks against the odds
Players call outcomes across crypto, sports, esports and major market-moving financial events. A correct pick pays Campaign Points in proportion to the odds at the moment the user made it. Bybit said a pick moves a user’s streak and leaderboard standing “instead of a direct shift in a wallet balance.“
That design is Bybit’s answer to real-money prediction markets, which the exchange said now draw millions of participants. The same release conceded that the wager-based model has brought controversy and a range of risks for players.
Points also come from outside the picks themselves. Daily check-ins and bonuses for consecutive streaks reward regular play, and Battle Pass milestones add more. Referrals pay out for each friend who joins. Anyone who registers mid-season lands in a time-limited Sprint Task with enhanced rewards. Bybit pitched it as a way for late joiners to close the gap.
Everyone has a take. What’s yours? 👀

Trading gates the refill and the bigger pool
Entry costs nothing. The starter bonus arrives without any deposit, and a player can make picks from day one. Keeping a balance topped up works differently. The Points Top-up Station refills to 200 points once every 24 hours, and only for users who traded that day.
Designated Trading Tasks are the one points source the release describes as uncapped and repeatable. Every user sits on a single leaderboard ranked by season points, yet prize eligibility splits at 10,000 USDT in cumulative trading volume. Users below the line compete for the Standard Prize Pool, while those above it chase the Grand Prize Pool.
The structure keeps each pick free while tying sustained play, and the larger pool, to activity on Bybit’s trading products. Any trade placed to qualify carries ordinary market risk, which the points game itself was built to avoid.
The release leaves several terms unstated:
- When Season 1 opens and closes?
- How the 100,000 USDT divides between the Standard and Grand pools?
- How many leaderboard places receive a payout?
- Which jurisdictions count as eligible?
The Bottom Line
Users weighing the campaign can check those details in the ByPick Season 1 terms before placing picks or trades.
The next checkpoint for active players comes every night at 00:00 UTC. That is when the refill offer resets, and it reopens only for users who have traded again.
