FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

What does Railbird charge to trade?

Regulated United States exchanges typically charge a per contract trading fee, often scaled to the contract price. Railbird's exact schedule was still being finalised during rollout as of October 2025, so check the current fee page on the exchange. We do not quote a figure we cannot confirm.

Why does this page not give a number?

Because we do not invent a fee. Railbird is early in its rollout and its published schedule is still settling, so we explain what to expect and point you to the exchange to confirm the live figure rather than state one we cannot verify.

Are there deposit or withdrawal fees?

Funding on a regulated United States venue runs in United States dollars through verified accounts, and particular methods may carry their own terms. Confirm the current methods and any limits on Railbird directly, since they can change as the platform matures.

Could the spread cost me more than the fee?

On a young venue with thinner liquidity, the gap between the buy and sell price can be wide, and crossing it on entry and exit can cost more than a stated trading fee. Treat early, thin markets with that in mind.

Can I use Railbird outside the United States?

As a CFTC regulated United States venue, Railbird is generally not offered to users based outside the United States. Inside the United States, state level availability for prediction markets can be contested and may change.
