Fees & Rewards
We believe in complete transparency about how our fee structure works. Every KES of the Forecasting Infrastructure Fee is allocated to a specific purpose — here is exactly where it goes.
The Forecasting Infrastructure Fee
KaddyAI charges a single, transparent Forecasting Infrastructure Fee on all plays. This fee is taken from the losing side of each market pool — winners receive their proportional share of the remaining pool after the fee is deducted.
The fee rate for each market is displayed clearly before you confirm your play. There are no hidden charges.
Important Note
We never refer to our fee as a "commission." The Forecasting Infrastructure Fee funds platform operations, creator rewards, referral rewards, and community growth. It is non-refundable once a play has been submitted.

Fee Structure Breakdown
The Forecasting Infrastructure Fee is split across the following components:
Creator Reward
Earned by the user who created the forecasting market. Rewards Market Makers for building quality markets that attract participants.
Referral Reward
Earned by users who refer active players to the Platform. A portion of the Forecasting Infrastructure Fee from referred users' plays is credited to the referring account.
Resolution Reward
Allocated to users who contribute to market resolution verification, rewarding accurate and timely resolution data submissions.
Ecosystem Growth Fund
Funds ongoing platform development, infrastructure costs, security audits, and long-term sustainability of the KaddyAI ecosystem.
Host Page Share
Earned by Market Maker operators of approved Host Pages. A share of the Forecasting Infrastructure Fee from all plays made through your Host Page.
🎨 Creator Rewards
When you create a forecasting market on KaddyAI, you earn a Creator Reward from every play made in that market. The Creator Reward is a share of the Forecasting Infrastructure Fee allocated to the market creator.
- Creator Rewards accrue automatically as plays are made in your markets.
- Rewards are credited to your KaddyAI wallet after market resolution.
- You must have an approved Market Maker account to create markets and earn Creator Rewards. Apply via the Market Maker page.
- Creator Rewards are forfeited on voided markets and in cases of market manipulation.
🔗 Referral Rewards
Earn ongoing Referral Rewards every time a user you referred places a play on KaddyAI. Referral Rewards are calculated as a percentage of the Forecasting Infrastructure Fee generated by your referred users' plays — for as long as they remain active on the Platform.
- Share your unique referral link from the Referral Program page.
- Rewards are credited to your wallet on a rolling basis as referred plays are settled.
- Self-referral and referral fraud result in forfeiture of all rewards and account termination.
🏠 Host Page Revenue Share
Approved Host Page operators earn a revenue share from all plays made through their Host Page. This share is drawn from the Host Page Share component of the Forecasting Infrastructure Fee and is credited automatically upon market resolution.
- Host Page revenue scales with the volume of plays on your page — more active participants means higher earnings.
- Revenue share rates are set out in your Host Page agreement and may vary based on page tier and performance.
- Host Page revenue is forfeited in cases of guideline violations or account termination.
