MonkeyTrade Rewards Program

Last updated: March 9, 2026

Share your trading experiences, help fellow traders, and earn some bananas along the way. The MonkeyTrade Rewards Program rewards you for contributing honest insights that actually help our community make better decisions.

How it Works

It's simple: write verified reviews about platforms you've actually used, and we'll reward you with points you can spend on premium features, exclusive content, and other perks.

The Golden Rule

Quality matters. We're not looking for novels or fluff, we want your real experience, told in your own words, with the details that actually matter to other traders.

Earning Points Through Reviews

Here's what your reviews are worth:

Basic Review

2-150 words + proof document

Detailed Review

150-300 words + proof document

Expert Review

300+ words + proof document

The Catch: Only Verified Reviews Count

That means you'll need to upload proof that you actually used the platform, account statements, screenshots, receipts, whatever shows you're the real deal. We take privacy seriously, so feel free to black out sensitive info like balances and personal details. Check out our Verified Reviews Policy for more details.

Unverified reviews? They're still welcome on the platform and help other traders, but they won't earn you points.

Program Rules

One Review Per Platform

You get one shot per platform. That's it. No do-overs for extra points.

Think of it this way: if your experience changes over time, update your existing review. It keeps everything in one place and gives people the full picture of your journey with that platform. Updates won't earn you new points, but they help maintain your credibility in the community

5 Reviews Per Month Cap

Here's the thing, we cap everyone at 5 reviews per month that can earn points.

Why? Because we've learned that quality drops fast when people try to crank out review after review. We'd rather have 5 genuinely helpful reviews than 20 rushed ones that don't really tell us anything useful.

The counter resets on the 1st of each month. If you submit a 6th review, it'll still go live on the platform (assuming it meets our standards), you just won't earn points for it.

Quality Actually Matters

Look, we can tell when someone's padding their word count to hit that Expert Review threshold. You know what we're talking about, repeating the same point three different ways, adding irrelevant tangents, copying generic statements from other reviews.

Here's what gets flagged:

  • Filler content with no real substance
  • Repetitive sentences that say the same thing over and over
  • Copy-pasted text from elsewhere
  • Generic statements that could apply to literally any broker
  • AI-generated fluff that sounds like a robot wrote it
  • Random tangents about your cat, the weather, or your lunch plans

What happens if you try it? Our team reviews flagged submissions manually. If we find filler, we'll either:

  • Ask you to revise it before we award points
  • Reduce the points awarded based on actual useful content
  • Revoke points entirely if it's really bad
  • This doesn't cut it:
  • This is what we're looking for:

See the difference? One's just words to fill space. The other actually tells you something useful.

What Gets You in Trouble

Review Shenanigans

  • Multiple reviews of the same platform
  • Creating fake accounts to beat the 5-review limit
  • Copying content from anywhere
  • Using AI to generate filler
  • Reviewing platforms you've never used

Fake Verification

  • Submitting fake or doctored documents
  • Using someone else's account info
  • Photoshopping screenshots
  • Lying in the verification process

What happens:

1st time: Warning, we take your points, remove the review 2nd time: 30-day suspension, all points gone 3rd time: Permanent ban

Spending Your Points

Your points can be redeemed for a variety of rewards. The specific offerings and point values may change over time as we add new perks and adjust based on what our community values most.

Premium Tools & Features

Get access to advanced platform tools, premium calculators, enhanced analytics, and early access to features we're testing.

Educational Content

Unlock exclusive trading guides, video content, webinars, strategy tutorials, and market analysis that aren't available to everyone.

Partner Perks

Access special offers and exclusive promotions from platforms we review, enter prize drawings, and get invitations to VIP events.

How It Works:

Browse available rewards in your dashboard and redeem what interests you. Most rewards activate instantly. Point values and available rewards are updated regularly, so check back often to see what's new.

Point Housekeeping

Do points expire? Nope, as long as you're active. If you ghost us for 18 months straight, they might expire, but we'll send you reminders at 12 and 15 months.

Close your account? You lose any unspent points. No refunds, no transfers.

Changes to the program? We'll give you 30 days notice for major changes. Your existing points stay safe.
