The prediction platform will charge for market orders in NCAA and Serie A sports markets, while keeping limit orders free with rebates, aiming to boost revenue from high-traffic segments.
Polymarket announced it will begin charging fees for market orders in sports prediction markets covering NCAA and Serie A from February 18. Limit orders will remain free and continue offering rebates. Sports markets currently account for nearly 40% of platform activity, making this change a potentially significant revenue driver. The move may also influence investor valuation narratives and shape expectations around future token launches or airdrops.
