Whale trackers compared
Polymarket whale trackers, compared
Checked , from each site's own public pages. Quotes are their words.
Every Polymarket whale tracker shows you the big bets. Where they differ is what they say about the wallet behind each bet, and whether they sell you the copying. Most rank whales by profit. Some say they rank by skill. The copy-trading ones charge to follow. hopium.games shows each whale's record with a luck-vs-skill verdict, sells nothing, and publishes what copying returned: copying the top 20% of Polymarket whales, picked on earlier weeks, returned −7.0% over 2,053 positions at prices a follower could get (the whales made −4.5%).

The trackers, one by one
Polywhaler
The most complete product here: a feed of whale trades on Polymarket and Kalshi, whale profiles, alerts on Telegram or Discord, an AI agent, and Orca, its copy-trading tool, with backtests “at prices you could actually have traded”. Keep in mind that it sells the copying, and its FAQ says whale positions “often move before the news does”. In our data, the 9,903 Polymarket whales we track are at −$5.84M combined since Aug 20.
Polymarket Analytics
A market-data and trader-research site: market pages, open interest, volume, a P&L leaderboard, and whale and “insider-sized” trades. It added copy trading to its terminal.
PolymarketScan
An explorer: search any wallet, market or username, screen wallets by P&L, volume, ROI or win rate, and watch a live whale tape. It also has an AI assistant and an API. A strong lookup tool. A wallet's numbers come without a test of whether they could be luck.
Kairos whale tracker
A free page with every Polymarket trade over $10,000, an anonymous-wallet watch and a 30-day top-trader list, with no sign-up. It's the front door to Kairos's trading terminal.
Polycopy
Built for copy trading: a feed of the traders you follow, one-click copies and Auto Copy Bots. Its Copy Score is the closest idea to ours: it asks what following a trader leaves you “after everything it costs to follow them”, because “a trader can make money and still be a bad copy”.
hopium.games
Every big bet live, each with the wallet's settled record, a 95% range on its win rate and a verdict on whether that record beats luck. Weekly boards of the Victors and the Fallen, what whales overpay, and the copy-trading test. Where we fall short: no alerts yet, no trading, records that update weekly (the feed every 5 minutes), Polymarket and Limitless only, and we only see trades of $1,000+ on Polymarket, so smaller trades are missing.
How to judge any whale tracker
- How many bets is the record on? A great record on 8 bets says little. Look for the count and a range, not a single win rate. Why a range.
- Could it be luck? Among thousands of whales, some look brilliant by chance: about 1 wallet in 40 passes a 95% test on luck alone. A ranking that doesn't account for that is ranking luck too. How we test it.
- Settled or open profit? Open positions swing. Count only bets whose markets have resolved.
- At whose price? A copier buys after the whale, at a worse price. A backtest at the whale's own prices flatters copying.
- Picked before or after the fact? “The top traders” chosen on the same weeks they're scored on always look good. Pick on earlier weeks, score on later ones. Our test does that.
- Who pays the site? If it earns from copy-trading fees or referral links, “follow the whales” is the pitch. We have neither.
