Ethos runs Exclusive Access, a set of offers from partner teams that are open only to users with a strong Ethos score. Between May and August 2026, Ethos announced two of these offers, from Megapot and Upshot, and then invited any team that wants to reach credible people in crypto to take part.
If you have a high Ethos score, your reputation can qualify you for perks other users can’t get. If you run a product, it’s a way to get in front of real, verified users rather than bots.
Megapot: 14,000 free lottery tickets
On May 19, 2026, Ethos announced that @megapot was rewarding real, credible users with 14,000 free tickets for a shot at a daily lottery worth up to $250,000. The number of free tickets depended on your Ethos score:
- 1600 and above: 2 free tickets for 5 days
- 1400 to 1599: 1 free ticket for 5 days
To claim them, users connected their Ethos wallet at megapot.io/winnings.
Why teams use Ethos scores
In the same announcement, Ethos said that teams like Megapot continue to choose Ethos as a way to acquire and activate new users. The reason it gave: reputable users have 98x the purchasing power of neutral or anonymous users.
A free giveaway is only useful to a team if it reaches people who might stick around. By filtering on Ethos scores, Megapot could make sure its free tickets went not just to legitimate hands, but to the right ones.
Upshot: a free bonus pack
On August 4, 2026, Ethos announced a second Exclusive Access offer, this time from @upshot_cards. Upshot packs are full of prediction cards on real-world events, and players who hit their calls win cash. According to the announcement, Upshot had already given out $245,000 at that point.
The offer was exclusive to Ethos users with a score of 1400 or higher: a free bonus pack with their first purchase. Details were listed on the Exclusive Access page.
Exclusive Access for teams
On August 20, 2026, Ethos invited other teams to take part. The pitch was simple: put your product in front of thousands of the most reputable people in crypto.
Ethos described Exclusive Access as:
- Real, verified users
- No bots and no sybils
- Completely free
Teams that want to target credible humans in their marketing can reach out to Ethos through the Exclusive Access page.
What it means for users
Exclusive Access is one of the more direct ways an Ethos score shows up outside Ethos itself. The reviews and vouches that build your credibility on the network also determine which partner offers you qualify for, and in Megapot’s case, how much you get.
