Our exchange uses a maker-taker pricing model designed to reward bettors who provide liquidity to the marketplace.
When a wager executes, the fee charged depends on whether the bettor acted as a:
Makers wager fee-free. Takers pay fees based on their loyalty tier.
For each executed order, fees are calculated as:
Where:
| Variable | Definition |
|---|---|
| f | Applicable fee factor based on loyalty tier and maker/taker status |
| C | Number of contracts executed |
| p | Execution price |
| ceil() | Rounds the resulting fee up to the nearest cent |
Fees are rounded up to the nearest cent after aggregation at the order level.
| Loyalty Tier | Maker Factor | Taker Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie | 0.00 | 0.10 |
| Veteran | 0.00 | 0.08 |
| All-Star | 0.00 | 0.06 |
| MVP | 0.00 | 0.04 |
| Hall of Fame | 0.00 | 0.00 |
The fee formula contains the term:
This value is:
As a result, fees are highest near the center of the market and lower near either extreme and the fee curve is symmetric. A wager at $20 generates the same fee as a wager at $80.
Because the fee formula includes the term:
the fee reaches its maximum when the wager price is $50.
At a price of $50:
Therefore:
The table below shows the highest fee that can be charged for a single contract.
| Loyalty Tier | Taker Factor | Maximum Fee per Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie | 0.10 | $2.50 |
| Veteran | 0.08 | $2.00 |
| All-Star | 0.06 | $1.50 |
| MVP | 0.04 | $1.00 |
| Hall of Fame | 0.00 | $0.00 |
Wagers executed above or below $50 will incur lower fees.
Fees are calculated and aggregated at the order level rather than the individual execution level.
If a single order is executed through multiple partial fills, all fills associated with that order are combined before fees are calculated and rounded.
Example
A Rookie-tier bettor submits an order for 100 contracts at $50.
The order is filled through 100 separate executions of 1 contract each.
The fee is calculated using:
The fee is calculated once using all 100 contracts rather than calculating and rounding fees separately for each partial execution.
The examples below assume:
| Wager Price | Fee |
|---|---|
| $5 | $0.48 |
| $10 | $0.90 |
| $25 | $1.88 |
| $50 | $2.50 |
| $75 | $1.88 |
| $90 | $0.90 |
| $95 | $0.48 |
These examples illustrate that fees are highest near $50 and decrease as prices move closer to either $0 or $100.
