Fees explained
Everything Deal or No Deal on dond.win charges: your buy-in is the stake, opens past the free ones cost a percentage of the buy-in, the Banker’s offer carries a published discount, and withdrawals pay a flat network fee. Deposits and demo play are free.
The four numbers
- Buy-in. Your stake for the round. You choose it. Every prize and every offer is a multiple of it. Real rounds have a per-round cap, shown in the buy-in panel.
- Opening fees. Opening a case past the free ones costs a fixed percentage of your buy-in. At the time of writing: opens 1 to 3 are free, opens 4 to 10 cost 2% each, opens 11 to 24 cost 4% each. The game shows the fee and asks for confirmation before every paid open. The live tiers are at /api/rules.
- Offer discount. The Banker pays a factor k times the fair value of your case, and k is below 1 throughout the round (currently from 0.5 up to 0.9). It is not a fee you pay; it is a price you can choose not to accept.
- Withdrawal fee. A flat network fee per chain, shown before you confirm a withdrawal. Deposits are free apart from the gas you pay your own wallet.
How fees add up in a round
Fees are charged per open, so the total for a round depends only on how many paid opens you make before dealing. The schedule steps up in the late game, which is why dealing late is often right: each additional open costs more, while the offer discount is only shrinking a little per open. The game shows the fee before every paid open, and your history lists every fee you paid.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum bet in Deal or No Deal on dond.win?
In demo mode any amount. In real mode the buy-in panel shows the current minimum and the per-round maximum; the live cap is also published at /api/rules.
Do I pay a fee when I take the deal?
No. Dealing is free. The offer is simply paid to your balance and the round ends.
Are deposits free?
Yes. dond.win charges nothing for deposits. You pay only the network gas for the transfer from your own wallet.
Why do opening fees exist?
They are one of the two sources of the house edge; the other is the Banker’s discount. The prize ladder itself is not where the edge lives.
