# The Lowest Commission Betting Exchange

BetDEX charges the lowest fee structure of any sports betting exchange in the world, 1%. 

 No premium charges. No success penalties.

### How Low Fees Impact Your Returns

Consider a trader with a 2% edge on every bet (for every $100 staked, they expect to profit $2):

* On Betfair at 5% commission: The commission consumes 2.5× the expected edge, making this strategy unprofitable.
* On Smarkets at 2%: Commission exactly matches the edge — net expectation of zero.
* On BetDEX at 1%: The edge is preserved still delivering 1% making this strategy viable.

Lower commission doesn't just save money on each bet — it makes previously unviable strategies profitable and expands the range of edges worth pursuing.
