Moon.com Review: An Honest Look at the 1000× Betting Platform
Moon.com is not a casino, not a broker and not a prediction market. Here is what it actually is, what it costs, and what to know before you deposit.
Moon.com gets filed under casino, sportsbook and prediction market, and it is none of the three. It is its own category, which is why a review has to start with what the product actually does. This one is built from the platform itself, its help centre and its terms of service, as of 21 August 2026, shortly after the platform opened to the public. Where something is unknown or unverifiable, we say so rather than fill the gap.
What Moon.com actually is#
Moon.com is a standalone leverage betting platform. You pick an asset, pick a direction — Up or Down — set a stake, and set leverage anywhere from 1× to 1000×. The platform tracks the live price and your position gains or loses at the leveraged rate. There is no fixed settlement time: you close whenever you want, or the position closes itself.
The mechanic that defines the product is the bust price. Leverage magnifies both directions, so a small adverse move wipes out the stake and Moon liquidates automatically at that point. Your maximum loss is exactly what you staked — no negative balances, no margin calls, no obligation to top up. Moon shows the bust price before you confirm, and you can attach auto-win and auto-loss levels to exit on your own terms first.
What Moon.com is not#
- ▸Not a casino. No slots, no live dealer tables, no RNG games — every outcome is driven by an external asset price.
- ▸Not a broker or exchange. You never own the underlying asset and there is no order book you trade into.
- ▸Not a prediction market. Polymarket and Kalshi sell yes/no event contracts priced peer-to-peer. Moon sells leveraged exposure to a price, and Moon itself is the counterparty.
- ▸Not a sportsbook. Moon’s terms define a market as cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities and currencies — there are no sports and no political markets.

How a bet actually works#
- Choose a market — say Bitcoin — and a chart timeframe from one second to one week.
- Choose Up or Down. There is no third outcome and no draw.
- Enter your stake and set leverage. The interface updates your exposure and bust price live.
- Confirm. A 1% opening fee comes off your stake and the position appears in your open bets.
- Close manually at any time, or let auto-win, auto-loss or the bust price close it for you.
Markets#
The market list is broader than the crypto-casino framing suggests. Crypto is the core with 19 assets including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB and HYPE. Beyond that: 13 US equities such as Tesla, AMD, Apple and Amazon, the four precious metals, two forex pairs in EUR/USD and GBP/USD, and index markets on the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 — 40 markets in total. Everything stays open around the clock, with an oracle feed covering the hours the underlying exchange is closed. That weekend availability is one of the clearer differences from a broker account; the trade-off is that an off-hours equity price is oracle-derived rather than a print from a live exchange.
What it costs#
Three fees carry a number, and one sits inside the price. Opening costs 1% of your stake — of the stake, not the leveraged exposure, which is what makes very high leverage affordable here at all. A holding fee is charged every eight hours a position stays open, calculated from your stake and your leverage. Moon publishes no fixed rate for it — its help centre calls the fee dynamic — but the applicable rate is displayed inside the platform and folded automatically into your position costs, so you can read it on your own bet slip. Winning bets pay a performance fee of at least 10% of realized profit; losing bets pay nothing. Alongside those, Moon’s terms state that the settlement price contains a house spread, separate from and in addition to the fees in the fee schedule — so the price you settle at already carries Moon’s margin. Our full fee breakdown works through the numbers.
Registration, KYC and banking#
Registration asks for your full name, date of birth, residential address and email, with a minimum age of 18. On KYC, the paper and the practice currently differ, and both belong in a review. The help centre describes a two-gate process — documents submitted before you can deposit, approval before you can withdraw. Our own funded test in August 2026 met neither gate: we deposited, bet and withdrew on e-mail confirmation alone, with no document request at any point. Read that as a young platform whose enforcement trails its rulebook — the check exists in the documentation and can be switched on at any time, so having ID and proof of address ready remains the sensible preparation.
Moon accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT, USDC and many more cryptocurrencies for deposits. If you do not hold crypto yet, you can buy it directly by card through the third-party provider swapped.com and deposit straight away. As of this review there is no live welcome bonus — Moon advertises none, so treat any bonus figure you see quoted elsewhere as unconfirmed.
Hands-on: we put $50 in and took it back out#
Reviews of young platforms are worth very little without the one test that matters, so we ran it. On 22 August 2026 we deposited $50 in USDC, placed several 1000× bets on Ethereum, and withdrew the balance again. The whole cycle — deposit in, bets placed and closed, withdrawal sent — took 38 minutes.

The betting itself was deliberately small: $0.99 a bet, which is enough to see the mechanics without the result mattering. Every position showed its wager, leverage, entry, bust price, live profit and loss, and a multiplier telling you what the stake was currently worth. Closing is a market order, and Moon says so in the confirmation rather than leaving you to find out.

One bet closed for $1.06 on a $0.99 stake, with the position table showing $0.06 of profit at the time. Across the session the account finished $1.68 above the deposit after the $1.00 withdrawal fee.
Operator, licence and the Stake question#
Moon.com is operated by Moon International Limited, registered in Anjouan, Union of the Comoros, under number 16151. The gaming licence is ALSI-202601063-FI2, B2C, issued 31 January 2026 and valid until 30 January 2027. We checked it: the licence shows as valid in the official Anjouan register and the footer seal validates. Plenty of platforms cannot manage that much, and it deserves credit.
It is worth knowing what that licence covers, because a licence is not one single thing. An Anjouan B2C licence is an operating authorisation: it permits the company to offer gaming to consumers and binds it to the licence conditions, including age verification and anti-money-laundering checks. It is issued by the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan under the Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005, and the terms themselves are governed by the law of the Union of the Comoros. If something needs resolving, section 24.1 sets out the complaints route, starting with informal resolution through complaints@moon.com. Knowing which framework you are inside is part of deciding how much to keep on the platform.
Casino.org describes Moon as Stake’s prediction market brand. It is the only outlet we found that says so outright — the other reviews in circulation do not repeat the claim, and Moon has never confirmed it, so it stays unconfirmed and we do not treat it as fact. Our piece on whether Moon.com is legit walks through the registry checks, and the supported countries list shows where the platform is available before you register.
Where the prices come from#
Moon aggregates three feeds: DXFeed for institutional market data, Pyth Network for exchange and market-maker prices, and the SEDA oracle for coverage outside exchange hours. The platform states it does not create or manipulate asset prices, and describes automatic detection of abnormal moves plus redundancy if a provider fails. Those are Moon’s own descriptions of how the system is built, and they are more detail than most platforms in this category publish.
Play money and rakeback#
The demo mode is genuinely good and badly underused. A toggle in the main menu switches your account to a play-money balance with the full feature set behind it. Twenty or thirty simulated bets teach you more about how fast 1000× busts than any article can, including this one — our play money guide explains how to run that as a test rather than a game.
Rakeback returns 3.5% of every fee you pay — opening, holding and performance — on winning and losing bets alike. Activation is simple: sign up through our link and rakeback is active from your first bet.
What we like#
- ▸Loss capped at your stake, with automatic liquidation and no negative balances.
- ▸The bust price is shown before you confirm — risk quantified, not hidden.
- ▸The 1% opening fee applies to your stake, not leveraged exposure.
- ▸A real demo mode with the full feature set and no time limit.
- ▸Three price sources and 24/7 markets across 40 instruments in crypto, equities, metals, forex and indices.
- ▸The licence checks out in the official Anjouan register, and the terms disclose the house role.
What we do not like#
- ▸The house spread inside the settlement price is disclosed in the terms, but its size is not published.
- ▸The holding rate is displayed inside the platform rather than on the public fee page.
- ▸No native app — Moon points mobile users to Add to Home Screen.
- ▸The platform has only been publicly accessible since August 2026, so there is little long-term record to judge it on.
What to keep in mind right now#
The main thing to hold on to is how young this is. Moon has been publicly accessible since August 2026, after an invite-only beta. Written coverage does exist — HLTV, Casino.org, Covers, Sportsbook Review and TradersUnion have all published a review — and all of it is affiliate or portal material rather than first-hand user reporting. That is normal for a platform at this stage; it simply means the sensible basis for a decision is the documentation, not reputation.
Search results need care too. Most scam allegations surfacing for “moon” gambling queries belong to entirely different operators — moonbet.io, moon.bet, moonx.io, moon-stake.com, moonwin, moonspin and the unrelated payment processor MoonPay. Before you attribute any of it to moon.com, check the exact domain the complaint names.
Then the terms themselves, which repay a read before your first bet. Section 5.4 confirms Moon is the counterparty to every bet with a disclosed financial interest in the outcome, and section 9.2 states that the settlement price carries a house spread on top of the listed fees. Section 12 sets the house rules: no bots, no latency or arbitrage strategies, no opposing positions across accounts, no multi-accounting. None of this is hidden — it is written down, to Moon’s credit — and it is best read as the product description rather than boilerplate.
Who it is for — and who should stay away#
It fits someone who already holds crypto, understands leverage, wants short-duration directional bets with a hard pre-visible loss cap, and treats the stake as entertainment spend. The capped downside is a real advantage over margin trading, where a bad night can leave you owing money.
It does not fit anyone looking for an investment, or anyone who would feel the loss of the stake. It is also a poor fit for long-horizon views: the eight-hour holding fee accrues for as long as the position is open, so patience costs money here by design.
As software, Moon.com is one of the most polished standalone leverage betting products we have examined: transparent bust pricing shown before you confirm, a downside hard-capped at your stake, a stake-based opening fee that makes high leverage coherent, a holding rate you can read inside the platform, and a demo mode that costs nothing to test. The things a reader can actually check all hold up — the licence resolves as valid in the official register, and prices come from DXFeed, Pyth Network and the SEDA oracle rather than from a single in-house feed. That is a better foundation than most of this category offers. What keeps it short of the top is time rather than substance: the platform has only been publicly accessible since August 2026, the size of the house spread inside the settlement price is not published, and the licence runs to January 2027 and will need renewing. A considered 4.1 — a well-built platform whose checkable claims check out, with the remaining question being the track record it has not had time to build yet.
Is Moon.com legit?+
Moon.com holds a valid Anjouan B2C gaming licence (ALSI-202601063-FI2) issued to Moon International Limited and verifiable in the official register. That confirms a licensed, identifiable operator. The platform has only been publicly accessible since August 2026, so its public track record is still short.
Is Moon.com a casino or a prediction market?+
Neither. There are no casino games, and it is not a peer-to-peer event market like Polymarket or Kalshi. Moon sells leveraged up/down bets on live asset prices, with Moon itself as the counterparty. Functionally it sits closest to a leveraged CFD wrapped in a betting interface.
How much can I lose on Moon.com?+
Your maximum loss is exactly the amount staked on a bet. When the price reaches your bust level the position liquidates automatically. There are no margin calls, no negative balances and no obligation to add funds. At 1000× leverage, however, that full loss can happen within seconds.
Does Moon.com have an app?+
No. Moon's help centre states plainly that it “does not currently offer a native mobile app”, and points mobile users to their browser's Add to Home Screen instead, which gives an app-like icon without an app store download. It also notes that some features may vary slightly by device and browser. Because there is no official app, treat any app-store listing claiming to be Moon.com as unaffiliated.
Does Moon.com require KYC?+
The rulebook says yes: Moon's help centre describes identity verification between e-mail confirmation and funding, with approval required before withdrawals. Our own real-money test in August 2026 was never asked for it — deposit, bets and withdrawal all cleared on e-mail confirmation alone. Both facts matter: today the practical experience is document-free, and the check can be enforced whenever Moon chooses, especially on larger amounts. Keep balances small and treat the requirement as live.
