How we track operator fees
The data behind /tools/fee-calculator. Last verified 2026-05-04.
Operator fees can quietly cost you 2–5% of every transaction. A 2% deposit fee on a $1,000 deposit is $20 gone before you place a bet. A 5% withdrawal fee turns a $500 cashout into $475. Most users never check fee schedules; this page documents how we track them, where the data comes from, and what we don’t cover.
Why this exists
Operator fees are quietly significant. A 2% deposit fee on a $1,000 deposit is $20 gone before you place a single bet. A 5% withdrawal fee turns a $500 cashout into $475. Most users never check fee schedules; we surface them so the math is visible up front.
Where our data comes from
Each operator’s fee data is sourced from one of:
- The operator’s published fee schedule on their support, banking, or payments page. This is the canonical source where it exists.
- The deposit/withdrawal flow when no public fee schedule is published. We screenshot the fee disclosure as part of our review process and verify the number we show against it.
- Direct operator confirmation via the affiliate program contact, when neither public schedule nor in-flow disclosure is available.
How current we keep it
Fee data is reviewed manually as part of each platform’s review cycle (currently quarterly). When a user reports a discrepancy or an operator publishes a change, we re-verify out of cycle.
The “Last verified” date on each fee row reflects when we last manually checked the operator’s published schedule or completed a test transaction. If a fee value is older than 90 days, we flag it on the calculator with a stale-data warning.
What we don’t (yet) cover
- Crypto network fees. Deposit and withdrawal network fees vary by chain and time of day. We show the operator’s portion of the fee but not the network gas estimate. For a more accurate total cost on crypto, check the relevant blockchain explorer at the time of your transaction.
- Currency-conversion spread. Operators that auto-convert between fiat currencies typically charge a spread of 2-4% on top of any disclosed fee. This is rarely published numerically and we don’t estimate it.
- VIP fee waivers. Most operators waive deposit and/or withdrawal fees at higher loyalty tiers. The fee data shown is the public/standard schedule, not the VIP-tier-adjusted amount.
- Method-specific fees within a category. “Bank transfer” fees can differ between SEPA, ACH, wire, and Faster Payments. We show the most common method’s fee per platform; check the operator for the specific rail you use.
