Mirrored 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."
• Surfaces: Mirrored runs on a web terminal, the Telegram bot, and a browser extension; WagerUp is a Telegram bot.
• 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.

At a glance

WagerUp claims are based on public materials at wagerup.com and third-party reviews of @WagerUpPilotBot as of June 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." If you only bet on sports, that focus is a genuine edge: a sports-shaped UI, sports-shaped filters, a sports-shaped signal feed.

But sports is only one slice of Polymarket. The same platform runs deep markets on US politics, macro and crypto, culture, weather, and breaking news — and the best wallets often trade across all of them. Mirrored hands you the whole spread from one account:

• 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 account, 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 quotes the same headline rate, but nothing in its public materials lets you verify what it actually takes. When two bots quote the same fee, the tiebreaker is simple: which one's real take can you confirm yourself? See our full policy in the copy-trading docs and manual trading docs.

4. Per-trader risk controls

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

Mirrored sets the controls separately for every 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 lives or dies on one thing: catching the leader's fill and routing yours before the price moves. Mirrored is built to keep that gap small, and real trading volume has already put it to the test:

• 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.
• Server-side copy engine. Copy execution runs on our backend, not in whichever surface you happen to have open. Whether the web terminal, the Telegram bot, or the extension is in front of you, the fill is routed the same way and your confirmation arrives as a notification.
• 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.

WagerUp says little about how its tracking and execution actually work. If reliability under sustained load matters to you — and on fast-moving sports lines that re-price within seconds, it does — that's a fair thing to ask about before you commit 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.

If sports betting is your only reason to touch Polymarket, those two together can make WagerUp the more comfortable home. For everyone else, the math flips the other way.

7. Wallet model

Mirrored creates your wallet for you — 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 the web app or Telegram. Import it into MetaMask, Rabby, Frame, or any other BIP-39 wallet at any time. Full model in the security doc.

WagerUp talks about connecting a wallet rather than creating one, which points to a bring-your-own-wallet model. That's handy if you already hold an external wallet on Polygon, and a steeper on-ramp for beginners who don't.

8. Transparent ranking

Mirrored's Sharps leaderboard ranks Polymarket wallets by 30-day realized PnL, win rate, and risk-adjusted consistency. Methodology is public; data is on-chain. The browser extension surfaces the same roster on each Polymarket market.

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, granular per-trader risk caps, and a web terminal, Telegram bot, and extension to trade from.

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 account, 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 sign up. 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 Sharps 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.
