Kalshi’s Parlay Maker Fees Surge, Generating $26 Million in Four Weeks
- Kalshi’s parlay maker fees raised $26 million in the first four weeks of implementation.
- The combo maker rate is set at half the taker fee, double Kalshi’s standard maker rate.
- On September 12, Kalshi collected $1.7 million from parlay fees, surpassing average daily revenue from takers and makers combined in August.
- The online fee schedule now includes a row for combos, excluding uncorrelated NFL parlays, with maker fees at half the taker fee.
- Kalshi cleared $1 billion in daily parlay volume on August 29 and broke that record three more times by mid-September.
Kalshi has seen a significant increase in revenue from its new parlay maker fees, which have quickly become a major source of income for the exchange. The introduction of these fees has pushed Kalshi’s earnings back towards levels seen during peak events like the World Cup.
With total maker fees exceeding $2.5 million on certain days and a record-breaking daily parlay volume, Kalshi’s strategic adjustments have proven lucrative despite increased costs for market participants. (Source)
