| Fee conditions & evidence | Novig's help centre says "only takers pay trading fees on Novig. The maker fee is $0" (support.novig.com/en/articles/16195057-fees-on-novig, read 28 Sep 2026). Pre-game straight trades carry no fee for maker or taker (app/web and API). Taker fees are 0.03 x P x (1-P) per contract on live straight trades, 0.06 x P x (1-P) on futures, and 0.10 x P x (1-P) on parlays (the parlay fee is built into the quoted price). At a 50c contract that works out to about 1.5%, 3% and 5% of the stake respectively. Our calculation: 0.03 x 0.25 = $0.0075 per 50c contract. The help centre's worked example is 100 live contracts at 50% = $0.75. Makers on live and futures markets can earn a rebate through the Maker Credit Program: "50% of the Live Taker Fee collected" and "70% of the Futures Taker Fee collected", starting 10 September 2026. Deposits by credit card, debit card or Apple Pay use 'standard pricing' with a 3% fee; bank transfers (Stripe, Aeropay) and stablecoins (Coinflow) use no-fee 'discount pricing' (support.novig.com/en/articles/15062817, read 28 Sep 2026).
