Fees

STX does not charge a commission on winnings. The only fee is on taker wagers.

Maker and taker wagers

• Maker: your wager waits unmatched and another player matches it later. No fee.
• Taker: your wager matches one that is already waiting, so it is matched straight away. You pay a fee.

A limit wager at a price nobody is offering yet waits unmatched, so when it is matched it is a maker wager. See Orders for the terms.

How much is the taker fee?

It depends on the price and your loyalty tier. It is largest at 50¢ and gets smaller towards 1¢ and 99¢, and higher tiers pay less: Hall of Fame pays none. The rates, the formula and worked examples are in the Fee Schedule.

When is the fee charged?

When a taker wager is matched. (Before June 22, 2026, fees were taken when a market settled instead.)

How can I pay less?

• Place limit wagers that wait to be matched: maker wagers are free.
• Move up a loyalty tier: each tier has a lower taker fee, and Hall of Fame pays none. See How do I earn STX Points?.
