Trading tournament fees compared: what 5 platforms take from your entry (October 2026)

Every figure was read on the company's own page on the date shown. "Not published" describes that page. The platform may state its fee somewhere else, such as inside its app.

Sivex Play

Scheduled matches take a stake of $5 to $25, so the fee on them is 10%. The rest of the entry money is paid to traders: 84% by finishing rank and 6% through side prizes.

There is one more deduction. When a match's entry money totals $500 or more, 2% of each prize paid to a top-10% finisher goes to the Sivex Community Pool.

Hosting a custom match starts at a $100 stake, and the fee there is 7%.

FX TradeHunt

Its How It Works page shows tournament entry money split 90% to the prize pool and 10% to the platform. For 1v1 battles the same page shows 90% to the winner, 7.5% to the platform and 2.5% to referrers.

Tralent

Its How It Works page says Tralent "retains a 17% flat fee" in the prize pool section. The FAQ on the same page puts the commission at 20%. We list both. Ask Tralent which one applies before you enter.

World Trading League and TradeKing

World Trading League's home page says its USDT fees cover access to an educational room and learning materials. It gives no percentage.

TradeKing's home page says entry fees fund the prize pool and gives no percentage. It was taking waitlist sign-ups on the date we checked.

Two more numbers decide what you can win: how many places are paid, and how the pool is split between them. A platform with a lower fee and fewer paid places can leave you worse off than one with a higher fee and more.

Ask every platform for both before you pay. On Sivex Play, in a full lobby the top 20% get paid, and the split by rank is in how tournaments work.

We re-read each source page when we update this post and change the date in the last column. A row keeps "not published" until the company states a figure on a page anyone can open.
