Moon.com Fees Explained: What You Actually Pay
Short version: Moon charges 1% of your wager when you open a bet (not 1% of the leveraged position), and a performance fee on profits of at least 10% when you close a winner. Losing bets pay no performance fee. There's no spread on the price. On a typical winning bet you keep roughly 83–89% of the gross profit, depending on how far the price moved.
The opening fee: 1% of your wager
Every new bet pays a 1% opening fee, and it's calculated only on the amount you put in. That's the detail that matters. Bet $100 at 10x and your exposure is $1,000, but the fee is $1. Bet $100 at 1000x and your exposure is $100,000, and the fee is still $1.
The same 1% applies when you use Flip, which closes your bet and opens a new one in the opposite direction. Flip is a new bet, so it pays a new opening fee.
The performance fee: Moon's edge
When you close a bet in profit, Moon takes a performance fee (Moon also calls it the ROI fee) from that profit before paying you out. According to Moon's help center, it's a minimum of 10% of realized profit, and the exact rate depends on the market and on short-term price movement. Losing bets pay no performance fee.
Moon's terms state plainly that this fee is the House's main edge and that Moon does not add a spread to its quoted prices. The profit figure you see on an open bet already includes the estimated performance fee and closing price, so it's close to what you'd actually receive if you closed right then.
What you keep: numbers from Moon's fee calculator
Moon has a fee calculator inside the platform ("View Moon Fees" under the bet panel). We ran a $100 Bitcoin bet through it:
| Bet | Price move | Gross profit | Moon shows you keep | Share kept |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 at 10x | +1% | $10.00 | $8.34 | 83% |
| $100 at 10x | +10% | $100.00 | $89.30 | 89% |
| $100 at 100x | +1% | $100.00 | $83.42 | 83% |
| $100 at 1000x | +1% | $1,000.00 | $834.18 | 83% |
Checked in Moon's fee calculator, November 2026. Rates can change; always check the calculator before you bet.
Two takeaways. First, the share you keep is about the same at 10x and at 1000x for the same price move, so leverage doesn't change the fee rate, only the size of everything. Second, bigger moves keep a bigger share: a 10% move kept 89%, a 1% move kept 83%.

How Moon's fees compare
On a futures exchange you pay a small percentage on the full leveraged position, twice (to open and to close), plus funding every few hours, but nothing on profits. Moon flips that: tiny opening cost, bigger cut of winners. That makes Moon cheap when a bet loses and relatively expensive when it wins. We break the math down in Moon.com vs Binance Futures.
Bottom line
Moon's fees are simple and shown up front, which is more than many platforms can say. But they're not small: on a winning bet, plan on giving back around a sixth of the profit. Factor that in before you choose your leverage, and run your own scenario in our liquidation calculator.
