R1Life Review: Marketing tools pyramid scheme
R1Life fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
R1Life’s website domain (“r1life.com”), was privately registered on March 21st, 2025.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
R1Life’s Products
R1Life has no retailable products or services.
Affiliates are only able to market R1Life promoter membership itself.
R1Life promoter membership provides access to a “digital products and automation tools” of unknown origin.
R1Life’s Compensation Plan
R1Life affiliates purchase positions in an eleven-tier matrix cycler.
Tier costs start at $5 and are paid for in tether (USDT):
- 5 USDT Package tier
- 10 USDT Package tier
- 25 USDT Package tier
- 50 USDT Package tier
- 100 USDT Package tier
- 250 USDT Package tier
- 500 USDT Package tier
- 1000 USDT Package tier
- 2000 USDT Package tier
- 4000 USDT Package tier
- 8000 USDT Package tier
R1Life doesn’t disclose the matrix sized used in its cycler, but it appears to be 2×3 matrices. From R1Life’s website FAQ;
The eighth and final payment on your payline is automatically used to open a new matrix, so you can keep earning over and over again without repurchasing a position.
From the above we can surmise R1Life probably uses 2×3 matrices.
A 2×3 matrix houses two positions on the first level, four on the second and eight on the third:
Each R1Life promoter package corresponds with a payment tier. Payment requires filling of a matrix once a tier has been bought into.
Regardless of the tier bought into, positions across each matrix are filled via buy-ins from directly and indirectly recruited promoters.
Commissions are paid as the third level of the matrix fills, with the last eighth position used to fund a new matrix at the same tier.
E.g. You buy into the 250 USDT tier and fill the first six positions of your matrix. You now receive 250 USDT per position filled on the third level of your matrix.
Once the eighth position fills, that 250 USDT is used to fund a new 250 USDT tier matrix and the process starts again.
Joining R1Life
R1Life promoter membership is free.
Full participation in the attached MLM income opportunity costs 15,940 USDT.
R1Life Conclusion
R1Life is a simple MLM crypto pyramid scheme.
New recruits sign up and buy into one or more of the eleven offered package tiers.
These payments qualify the promoter to earn on subsequent recruitment, with nothing marketed or sold to retail customers throughout the process.
R1Life’s business model also incorporates “pay to play”, a strong pyramid scheme indicator:
The higher the package, the more USDT you can earn.
Pyramid schemes are illegal the world over. Despite this, on its website R1Life falsely asserts its fraudulent business model is legal;
Is R1Life legal?
Yes. R1Life is a USDT-based earning platform that provides real products and automation tools.
It is not an investment program. It is a system where you earn USDT by participating in a structured payout process.
Whether R1Life is an “investment program” or not is a strawman defense. It’s irrelevant to R1Life being a pyramid scheme.
Ditto the bundled “digital products and automation tools”. You can’t legitimize a pyramid scheme by attaching products and/or services with payments.
Unless you’re marketing and selling products and services to retail customers, the business model is illegal – no exceptions.
As with all MLM pyramid schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will commission payments.
Being a matrix-cycler pyramid scheme, the majority of funds paid in will inevitably wind up in the hands of the anonymous R1Life admin.
This occurs through one or more preloaded admin positions, through which R1Life’s anonymous admin hoovers up funds at the top package tiers.
Early recruiters steal what’s left, with the majority of R1Life promoters inevitably taking a loss.
