◎ Best for
Traders who want prediction market exposure from a firm with an existing payout record, and who will confirm the split and the venue with support before buying.
⚠ Avoid if
You need to know which prediction market venue you are trading, or you want the 80% split Maven advertises on its forex product. This one pays 70%.
Maven Trading prediction markets is a separate product from Maven’s forex challenges, with its own rules, pricing and profit split. One-step evaluation on Match Trader, 9% profit target, 5% max loss rising to 8% once funded, 70% split, payouts every 10 business days. Entry from $40. Use code MVN at checkout. For the forex product, see our Maven Trading review.
Rating Breakdown
Scored on the prediction markets product only. Maven’s forex challenges are rated 7.9 separately in our Maven Trading review. Transparency is the gap: the split is published two different ways on the same page, Elite and Essential publish identical rules at very different prices, and no prediction market venue is named.
What This Product Is
Maven Trading is a forex prop firm that has added a prediction markets challenge. It sits on the same account infrastructure and the same checkout, but the rules and the economics are different enough that it needs judging on its own terms. The forex product pays 80% and is scored 7.9 in our Maven Trading review. This one pays 70%, runs a slower payout cycle, and is scored separately below.
The evaluation is a single phase. Hit 9% profit without breaching a 5% loss limit and the account funds, after which the loss limit widens to 8%. That widening is unusual and works in your favour, since most firms tighten risk once you are funded rather than loosening it.
Rules
Every published rule is identical across both plans and all five account sizes.
| Evaluation | One step, both plans |
| Profit target | 9% in phase 1 |
| Max loss in evaluation | 5% |
| Max loss once funded | 8% |
| Profit split | 70% on funded accounts |
| Payout frequency | Every 10 business days |
| Platform | Match Trader |
| Fee | Refundable on your third withdrawal |
| Account sizes | $5,000 to $100,000 |
Pricing
Two plans, five sizes. Prices below show the discounted price with a code first, then the list price. Maven states the fee is refundable on your third withdrawal.
| Account size | Essential | Essential list | Elite | Elite list |
| $5,000 | $40 | $44 | $67 | $74 |
| $10,000 | $76 | $84 | $126 | $139 |
| $20,000 | $139 | $154 | $234 | $259 |
| $50,000 | $324 | $359 | $540 | $599 |
| $100,000 | $540 | $599 | $900 | $999 |
At $139 for a $20,000 account the Essential plan costs about 0.7% of the account size, which is cheap for the category. The Elite plan is the problem: it costs roughly 68% more at every size while publishing exactly the same profit target, loss limits, split and payout cycle. Maven does not say what the extra money buys. Until it does, there is no documented reason to pick Elite.
Two Things To Check Before You Buy
The profit split is stated twice, differently. Every pricing card on the prediction markets page says 70%. The how-it-works section on the same page says you keep 80%. The 80% figure matches Maven’s forex product, so the likeliest explanation is that the section was carried over and not updated. Assume 70% and get it confirmed in writing.
No venue is named. Maven does not say whether its prediction markets pricing comes from Polymarket, Kalshi, another third party, or an in-house book. Neither name appears anywhere on the page. For a product whose entire value depends on where the odds come from, that is a real gap, and it is the main reason transparency scores lower here than on Maven’s forex product.
Our Verdict
The rules are good. A 9% one-step target is modest for prediction markets, and widening the loss limit from 5% to 8% once funded is genuinely trader-friendly, since most firms move the other way. The fee is refundable on your third withdrawal, the platform is Match Trader rather than something built in-house, and at $40 for a $5,000 account this is the cheapest entry in the category.
The firm behind it also matters. Maven has a payout record on its forex side that most prediction market firms cannot match, and that record is the main reason this scores where it does rather than lower. A new product from an established payer is a different proposition from a new product from a new company.
What holds it back is documentation specific to this product. The page contradicts itself on the profit split, the Elite plan costs 68% more than Essential while publishing identical terms, and no prediction market venue is named anywhere. Those are three answerable questions that Maven has not answered, and they are the gap between 7.4 here and 7.9 on the forex product.
Worth buying if you want prediction market exposure from a firm with a payout history and you are comfortable asking support for the venue and the split in writing first. Skip the Elite plan until Maven publishes what it does.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Maven prediction markets profit split?
Every pricing card on the Maven prediction markets page states a 70% split on funded accounts. The how-it-works section further down the same page says you keep 80%, which is the figure for the forex product. Treat 70% as the prediction markets number and confirm it in writing before you buy.
What is the difference between Essential and Elite?
Maven does not publish one. Both plans show the same 9% profit target, the same 5% evaluation loss limit, the same 8% funded loss limit, the same 70% split and the same 10 business day payout cycle, yet Elite costs roughly 68% more at every account size. Ask support what the extra buys before paying for it.
How much does it cost?
Essential runs $40 at $5,000, $76 at $10,000, $139 at $20,000, $324 at $50,000 and $540 at $100,000 with a code. Elite runs $67, $126, $234, $540 and $900 across the same sizes. Maven advertises the fee as refundable on your third withdrawal.
Which prediction markets can you trade?
Maven does not name a venue anywhere on its prediction markets page. It does not mention Polymarket or Kalshi, and it does not say whether pricing comes from a third party or an in-house book. That is the biggest gap in the product documentation and worth asking about before you buy.
Is this the same as the Maven Trading review?
No. This page covers the prediction markets product only. Maven’s forex challenges are a separate product with a different split, different targets and a different score, covered in our Maven Trading review.

Challenge fees are money at risk. Most participants never reach a payout, and funded accounts are usually simulated capital rather than live funds. Rules and pricing can change at any time, so confirm them on the firm’s own site before you pay. Nothing in this review is financial advice.
