[Polymarket Expands Fees to Sports Markets] February 13 News: Polymarket official Rodrigo announced in a Discord post that the fee mechanism will be expanded to cover college basketball (NCAA) and Serie A markets. The fee structure will be the same as the '15-minute cryptocurrency price movement markets,' where the taker pays the fee, and the maker receives a rebate. However, the coefficients will differ — the fee rate is 0.0175, the multiplier is 1, and the maker rebate is 25%, resulting in overall lower fees. Starting from 12:00 AM UTC on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the new fee mechanism will apply to all newly created NCAAB and Serie A-related events after this time. Existing events will not be affected. The first rebate distribution will occur at 12:00 AM UTC on February 19.
