Guide

Prediction market fees explained

Understand direct fees, spreads, funding costs, withdrawal costs, and why platform comparisons need more than one fee number.

Headline fees are incomplete

A fee table can miss spread, liquidity, funding, wallet, withdrawal, and settlement frictions.

Compare use cases

The lowest-fee platform is not always the best fit if the market is thin, unavailable, or unclear.

Track changes

Fee pages should be updated when platforms change rules, promotions, or funding methods.

Use calculators carefully

ForecastIndex calculators are educational tools and should not be treated as a guarantee of final trading cost.
