Mirrored Trade vs WagerUp

TL;DR

• Market coverage: WagerUp focuses on Polymarket sports markets (MLB, NBA, etc.). Mirrored covers every Polymarket category — sports, politics, crypto, finance, culture, weather, the lot.
• Copy-trading fees: Both bots advertise 1% on winning copy-trade exits. Mirrored's fee policy is published in our docs and applied in code you can read; the actual fee taken is visible on-chain at our fee address. Verifiable rather than just stated.
• Curated lineups: Mirrored ships five hand-picked Auto Pilot lineups with sizing and risk settings tuned. WagerUp requires you to pick wallets yourself.
• Per-trader risk controls: Mirrored gives every mirrored trader its own size mode, slippage, price band, and per-trade and per-market caps. WagerUp documents controls at the level of "size, leagues, and exposure."
• Execution at scale: Mirrored handled over $1M in copy-trade volume within three days of launch without execution issues — the load test that matters for a copy-trade product is real users firing real trades.
• Where WagerUp can win: if you only trade Polymarket sports and you want a sports-native UI plus a manual-approval mode for each trade, WagerUp is built squarely for that.

At a glance

WagerUp claims are based on public materials at wagerup.com and third-party reviews of @WagerUpPilotBot as of May 2026.

1. Sports-specialist vs general-purpose

WagerUp's pitch is sports-first. Reviews describe WagerUp Pilot as tracking "high-performing wallets on Polymarket. When they take positions on sports markets like MLB or NBA, those signals show up instantly." That focus is a real strength if you only bet on sports: a sports-shaped UI, sports-shaped filters, sports-shaped signal feed.

The thing to know is that sports is only one slice of Polymarket. The same platform also runs deep markets on US politics, macro and crypto, culture, weather, and breaking news — and the best wallets often trade across categories. Mirrored gives you all of it from the same bot:

• Politics — elections, polling, policy resolution markets.
• Sports — MLB, NBA, soccer, UFC, tennis, the rest.
• Crypto and finance — BTC/ETH price targets, rate-cut probabilities, equities.
• Culture and pop — entertainment, awards, viral events.
• Weather, geopolitics, AI milestones, miscellaneous "will X happen by Y?"

If you find a wallet that crushes US elections but you're on WagerUp, you can't copy them there. On Mirrored you can — same bot, same workflow.

2. Curated Auto Pilot vs manual wallet selection

WagerUp lets you "connect your wallet, pick a risk level, and watch what the top wallets are doing." You still pick the wallets.

Mirrored offers the same manual flow plus a faster path: five Auto Pilot lineups — All Categories, Aggressive, Sweaty, Relaxed, and Super Aggressive. Each is 10 hand-picked Polymarket traders with size mode, slippage, price band, and per-trade caps already tuned for the lineup's style. Tap ✅ Use this lineup and you're live. See the Auto Pilot docs.

The lineups aren't sport-specific, so they'll catch trades across whatever markets the leaders are firing in — politics one week, crypto the next, sports the week after.

3. Fee transparency — claimed vs verifiable

On the surface, the headline number is the same. Both Mirrored and WagerUp advertise 1% on winning trades for copy trading. What differs is whether you can actually check that.

Mirrored publishes its fee policy plainly and applies it in code you can read:

• Copy trades: 1% only on winning copy-trade exits. Losing copy trades are free.
• Manual trades: 1% per leg (buy and sell).
• No subscription, no signup fee, no per-trade signing fee, no spread markup. Polymarket's relayer covers on-chain gas.
• On-chain verifiability. Fees collect to a published platform address on Polygon. Every fee Mirrored has ever taken is auditable on-chain — you don't have to take our word for the rate.

WagerUp publishes the same headline rate but doesn't expose the same verifiability layer in its public materials. If you're evaluating two bots quoting the same fee, the right tiebreaker is which one's actual take you can confirm yourself. See our full policy in the copy-trading docs and manual trading docs.

4. Per-trader risk controls

WagerUp describes user-side controls as "size, leagues, and exposure."That's a coarse setting applied across the whole bot.

Mirrored applies controls at the level of each individual trader you mirror:

• Size mode — Fixed dollar / Percentage of leader / Portfolio weight. Three modes, picked per trader.
• Slippage tolerance — per trader, in percent.
• Price band — e.g. 30¢–70¢, per trader. Filters out late entries and lottery tickets.
• Per-trade cap — hard dollar ceiling per individual copy, per trader.
• Per-market cap — total exposure across every trader for a single market.

Full breakdown is in the copy-trading docs.

5. Execution and reliability at scale

A copy-trade bot is only as useful as its ability to actually catch the leader's fill and route yours in time. Mirrored is built around minimising that gap and has been load-tested against real trading volume:

• Over $1M in copy-trade volume within three days of launch — cleared without execution issues, dropped fills, or stuck queues. Real users, real trades, against a live venue.
• Direct CLOB integration. Mirrored talks to Polymarket's order book directly on Polygon. No third-party broker, no proxy execution layer.
• On-chain leader tracking. Every leader's fill is observed on-chain the moment it lands. The copy engine evaluates your per-trader caps, slippage, and price band in-memory and routes the order — no UI round-trip between signal and order.
• Polymarket relayer for gas. On-chain operations route through Polymarket's relayer instead of waiting on per-transaction RPC gas pricing from your wallet. One fewer source of variable delay.
• Anchor-message UX. Mirrored is Telegram-only, with no web app in the hot path. Your fill confirmation is a push notification, not a page load.

WagerUp's tracking and execution architecture isn't described in detail on its public materials. If reliability under sustained load matters — especially for fast-moving sports lines that re-price within seconds — it's a fair question to ask before committing capital.

6. Where WagerUp wins for sports-only traders

Two things WagerUp does that Mirrored doesn't today:

• Manual approval per trade. WagerUp explicitly supports "approve trades one by one" in addition to automation. Mirrored executes copy trades automatically within the caps you set. If you want a flow where every signal pings you and you tap to confirm, WagerUp is built for that.
• Sports-native UI and filtering. If you only care about sports, a sports-shaped interface is easier than a multi-category one. Mirrored shows all categories.

For users whose only Polymarket use case is sports betting, those two together can make WagerUp the more comfortable home. For everyone else, the calculus flips.

7. Wallet model

Mirrored creates your wallet inside the bot — no MetaMask, no separate signup. It's backed by Privy's TEE-based infrastructure, and the wallet has a real 24-word BIP-39 seed phrase you can export straight from Telegram. Import it into MetaMask, Rabby, Frame, or any other BIP-39 wallet at any time. The bot shows the seed once and deletes the message after 60 seconds. Full model in the security doc.

WagerUp's materials describe wallet connection rather than wallet creation, suggesting a bring-your-own-wallet model. That's an advantage for users who already hold an external wallet on Polygon; it's a higher on-ramp for beginners who don't.

8. Transparent ranking

Mirrored's public leaderboard ranks Polymarket wallets by 30-day realized PnL, win rate, and risk-adjusted consistency. Methodology is public; data is on-chain.

WagerUp surfaces "high-performing wallets" filtered to sports markets, but doesn't publish the ranking methodology behind it.

9. Education library

WagerUp doesn't ship dedicated educational resources. Mirrored does:

• Polymarket beginner guide
• How Polymarket works
• How to copy trade
• Trading strategies
• Profit calculator
• Odds converter

So which should you use?

Pick WagerUp if you only trade Polymarket sports markets, you want a sports-first interface, and you want to manually approve each copy trade before it fires.

Pick Mirrored if you trade across categories — politics, crypto, sports, finance, culture — and you want curated Auto Pilot lineups, a published fee policy that only charges you on winning copy exits, and granular per-trader risk caps.

You can also run both. There's no overlap in custody — each bot signs from its own wallet — but the workflows aren't mutually exclusive.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mirrored support Polymarket sports markets?

Yes — Mirrored covers every Polymarket market, sports included. MLB, NBA, soccer, UFC, tennis, and everything else Polymarket lists are tradable from the same bot, alongside politics, crypto, and the rest.

Is WagerUp cheaper than Mirrored?

The advertised headline is the same: both bots quote 1% on winning copy trades. Mirrored's fee logic is published in our docs, applied in code, and collects to a public on-chain address you can audit. If two bots quote the same rate, the better one is the one you can actually verify is charging it.

Does Mirrored let me approve each copy trade manually?

Not currently. Copy trades on Mirrored execute automatically within the per-trader caps you set (size, slippage, price band, per-trade cap, per-market cap). If you want trade-by-trade manual approval, WagerUp is the bot built for that flow.

Do I need my own wallet to use Mirrored?

No — Mirrored creates an embedded Privy wallet for you the first time you open the bot. You can export the 24-word BIP-39 seed at any time and move the wallet elsewhere. WagerUp's public materials describe connecting an existing wallet rather than creating one.

Can I copy trade non-sports markets on Mirrored?

Yes. Pick any Polymarket wallet from the leaderboard or paste an address; the bot mirrors every trade they make on Polymarket, regardless of category. The Auto Pilot "All Categories" lineup is the obvious starting point.
