Moon.com in 60 Seconds

Bitcoin did not need to crash for us to lose our wager. It moved from approximately $77,598 to $77,507—a fall of $91, or 0.117%. At 1,000x leverage, that was enough to liquidate our position and erase the full $10 stake.

That is the most important finding from our Moon.com review. The deposit was fast, our small withdrawal reached us within minutes and the interface showed the cost of opening the bet. But 1,000x leverage puts the liquidation price so close to the entry that routine crypto volatility can end a wager almost immediately.

We tested Moon.com with real money on 29 August 2026. This review separates what happened in our account from what Moon publishes in its documentation.

Quick verdict

Our small real-money test was operationally smooth. A $100 USDT ERC-20 deposit was credited in 1 minute 29 seconds, and a subsequent $90 withdrawal reached our wallet in 3 minutes 2 seconds, before the deducted ERC-20 fee.

The betting result was less forgiving. We wagered $10 on Bitcoin going Up at 1,000x leverage. Moon displayed a $0.10 opening fee and $10,000 of market exposure. Bitcoin then fell by approximately 0.117%, our position was liquidated and the total P&L was −$10.

Moon’s strength is that it turns a leveraged market position into a relatively simple Up or Down wager while capping the stated maximum loss at the stake. Its weakness is the other side of the same design: at maximum leverage, an ordinary price movement can consume that stake.

This test covered one account, one wager and one small withdrawal. It cannot establish how Moon handles larger withdrawals, extended account reviews or disputes. We also retained no screenshots, so the first-hand figures below come from our contemporaneous test notes.

What is Moon.com?

Moon.com is a financial-market betting platform. It is not a conventional crypto exchange, and placing a Bitcoin wager does not mean buying or taking custody of Bitcoin.

The process is pared back to four decisions:

1. Choose a supported market.

2. Enter a wager.

3. Select leverage between 1x and 1,000x, subject to the market and current conditions.

4. Bet on the price moving Up or Down.

The wager is the amount placed at risk. Leverage determines the larger market exposure used to calculate profit and loss. A $10 wager at 1,000x therefore creates $10,000 of exposure.

Moon says the maximum loss is limited to the wager and that positions close automatically at the displayed Max Loss Price. Its public documentation covers cryptocurrency, equities, futures, commodities and forex, although our real-money test covered Bitcoin only. Moon explains the wagering process here.

How we tested Moon.com

We registered on 29 August 2026 using the code MOONSCOPE and deposited $100 in USDT over Ethereum’s ERC-20 network.

Our test consisted of:

• One $100 USDT ERC-20 deposit

• One $10 Bitcoin Up wager

• 1,000x leverage and $10,000 of displayed exposure

• One liquidation producing a total P&L of −$10

• One $90 ERC-20 withdrawal

• No identity-verification request

We did not test a profitable settlement, a position held for eight hours, alternative cryptocurrencies, traditional markets or a large withdrawal. Those limits matter when interpreting the verdict.

Deposit speed and the MOONSCOPE balance

Our $100 deposit was credited in 1 minute 29 seconds. After entering MOONSCOPE and completing the deposit, the displayed account balance was $200.

That is what we observed. It is not enough to call the additional $100 unrestricted or withdrawable cash.

After losing the $10 wager and withdrawing $90, the other $100 remained in the account. We did not attempt to withdraw it or complete any associated play-through. We therefore cannot confirm its withdrawal conditions, expiry rules or whether it was a temporary launch promotion.

This distinction is important because MoonScope’s public disclosure describes its referral benefit as automatic rakeback, not a guaranteed 100% deposit match. It also discloses that MoonScope may receive commission when users register through its links. MoonScope explains that relationship here.

The defensible conclusion is narrower: MOONSCOPE was accepted during our registration, and the account displayed $200 after our $100 deposit. Players should inspect the live promotion terms before assuming that the additional balance can be withdrawn.

Our 1,000x Bitcoin wager

At approximately 14:30 on 29 August, we placed $10 on Bitcoin going Up.

The interface showed:

The price moved against us by only $91. Against a $77,598 entry, that is approximately:

$91 ÷ $77,598 × 100 = 0.117%

That was enough to liquidate the position and consume the full wager.

Moon’s own leverage guide says that a 0.1% adverse move at 1,000x can wipe out the stake. That broadly matches our result. However, another sentence on the same page says a 0.001% favourable move would double the money. Those two figures conflict.

The worked example and the underlying maths support approximately 0.1%, not 0.001%, before fees and execution effects. Moon should correct that discrepancy because a hundredfold error is material when explaining a high-risk product. The conflicting figures appear in Moon’s leverage guide.

What a winning 1% move would mean

Leverage applies in both directions.

Our $10 wager controlled $10,000 of exposure. A hypothetical 1% favourable Bitcoin move would therefore produce approximately $100 of gross profit before fees and execution effects:

$10,000 × 1% = $100

Moon publishes a performance fee of at least 10% of realised profit. At the minimum published rate, a $100 gross profit would incur a $10 performance fee, leaving approximately $90 of net profit.

The original $10 wager would also be returned, making the illustrative total settlement approximately $100: the returned $10 stake plus $90 net profit.

We did not achieve this result. It is an explanation of the maths, not a claimed win or likely outcome. A position must first survive normal price fluctuations, and at 1,000x the adverse move required for liquidation is extremely small.

Moon.com fees

Moon publishes three principal charges:

The total recorded loss was $10, while the interface displayed the $0.10 opening fee. We have not added that fee again to claim a $10.10 loss.

Moon says its live P&L attempts to account for estimated closing execution, performance fees and accrued holding fees. Final proceeds can still vary as the market changes between viewing and execution. Moon’s current fee documentation explains these charges.

Withdrawal speed

After the liquidation, we requested a $90 USDT ERC-20 withdrawal. The additional $100 displayed in the account remained there.

The withdrawal reached our external wallet in 3 minutes 2 seconds. ERC-20 fees were deducted, although we did not record the exact fee or net amount received.

That is a good result for this transaction. It demonstrates that Moon processed one small withdrawal from our tested account promptly. It does not establish a universal payout time, nor does it tell us how the operator handles larger withdrawals, enhanced due diligence or contested balances.

Where Moon says its prices come from

Moon says it aggregates prices from DXFeed, Pyth Network’s Pyth Pro service and SEDA Protocol. It also says the platform uses derived pricing to keep supported traditional markets available outside their normal exchange hours. Moon describes its data feed and extended-hours pricing here.

We did not retain a timestamped comparison between Moon’s Bitcoin quote and an independent exchange. We can therefore describe the published methodology, but we cannot independently assess the accuracy, spread or latency of the price used in our liquidation.

That is an important boundary. Naming institutional data providers is useful, but execution quality still needs to be measured at the point where an actual wager opens and closes.

Account security and mobile access

Moon publishes support for authenticator-app two-factor authentication, passkey login and active-session management. It says 2FA can protect logins, withdrawals and other sensitive actions. These are sensible account controls, although we did not test them during this review. Moon’s security features are documented here.

There is no native Moon mobile app at the time of writing. Moon instead supports access through a mobile browser and provides instructions for saving the site as a Progressive Web App. We did not test the PWA. Moon’s mobile guidance confirms the current arrangement.

Operator, licence and availability

Current licence records identify the operator as Moon International Limited and associate moon.com with Anjouan B2C licence ALSI-202601063-FI2. The current record lists an issue date of 31 January 2026 and an expiry date of 30 January 2027. The status should be checked again before depositing because licences can expire, change or be revoked. Check the official Anjouan register and the current domain-linked record.

An Anjouan gaming licence is an offshore gambling authorisation. It is not a securities or investment-services licence, and it does not make Moon legal in every country from which the website can be reached.

Moon’s registration guide says users must reside in a supported country or region. Players should check both the operator’s current restricted-jurisdiction terms and the rules where they live. We found no primary evidence confirming an ownership relationship between Moon.com and Stake, so we make no such claim.

Moon.com pros and cons

What needs caution

• A 0.117% adverse move erased our entire wager at 1,000x.

• Moon’s leverage guide contains conflicting 0.001% and 0.1% examples.

• Our no-KYC experience contradicts Moon’s published verification policy.

• The extra $100 balance was not tested for withdrawal.

• ERC-20 fees reduced the withdrawal, but the exact deduction was not recorded.

• Holding fees are dynamic, while the performance fee is at least 10%.

• One small withdrawal says little about larger payments or account disputes.

• No screenshots were retained from the test.

• There is no native mobile app.

Our verdict

Moon.com made leveraged Bitcoin exposure exceptionally easy to open. The deposit worked, the fee was visible and our small withdrawal was processed quickly.

The same simplicity can obscure how little market movement is required to lose. Bitcoin fell by approximately 0.117%. In an unleveraged position, that would be a minor fluctuation. At 1,000x, it ended the wager.

Moon may suit experienced bettors who understand leverage, read the Max Loss Price and treat every wager as money that can disappear in full. It is a poor fit for anyone who sees 1,000x as a shortcut to investment returns or assumes a capped loss makes the wager low-risk.

Our test establishes one limited fact: on 29 August 2026, this account accepted a $100 ERC-20 deposit, opened and liquidated a $10 Bitcoin wager, and processed a small withdrawal within minutes. It does not prove how Moon will treat every account, promotion or payout.

Start with the play-money mode if you want to understand the interface. If you move to real funds, the wager should be money you can afford to lose entirely. At maximum leverage, that loss may arrive before there is time to reconsider it.

Moon.com FAQ

What is Moon.com?

Moon.com is a betting platform where users wager on whether supported financial-market prices will move Up or Down. Users do not buy the underlying cryptocurrency, share or commodity.

Can you lose more than your Moon.com wager?

Moon says the maximum loss is capped at the wager. Our $10 test position was liquidated with a total P&L of −$10.

How risky is 1,000x leverage?

Extremely risky. Our entire $10 wager was lost after Bitcoin moved approximately 0.117% against the position. Moon’s own worked example uses a roughly 0.1% adverse move as the liquidation threshold before execution effects.

What fees does Moon.com charge?

Moon publishes a 1% opening fee on the wager, a dynamic holding fee every eight hours and a performance fee of at least 10% of realised profit. Estimated execution and applicable charges are reportedly incorporated into the displayed P&L.

Did the MOONSCOPE code work?

The code was accepted, and our displayed balance became $200 after depositing $100. However, the additional $100 remained in the account and was not tested for withdrawal. Public MOONSCOPE material describes automatic rakeback, so we cannot promise a fixed or withdrawable deposit match.

How fast are Moon.com withdrawals?

Our $90 USDT ERC-20 withdrawal reached our wallet in 3 minutes 2 seconds, with ERC-20 fees deducted. This was one small test and should not be treated as a guaranteed payout time.
