Moon.com — Up or Down Betting With up to 1000x Leverage: Full Guide 2026

Moon.com is an online platform for leveraged Up/Down betting. You choose an asset, choose a direction, set a wager and a multiplier, and the platform settles the bet against the price feed. Nothing is bought: there is no coin in a wallet and no share in a custody account at the end of it, only a settled position. The operator states in its terms that it acts as the counterparty — the house — on every bet, which is the single most important sentence in the whole product.

That makes it neither an exchange nor a prediction market. An exchange sells you the asset; a prediction market matches you against other users and takes a cut. Here the party paying your winnings is the same party holding your losses, and your maximum loss is fixed at the wager because there is no margin call and no negative balance. The mechanics are broken down in how it works, and what that arrangement means for trust is in is Moon.com legit.

Wager $100 at 1000x and your exposure is $100,000. A move of 0.1% against you is $100 — your entire wager — so the position closes at the Max Loss Price the panel showed you when you opened it. On a fast-moving crypto pair 0.1% can pass in seconds; that is not an edge case, it is the normal behaviour of the product at that multiplier.

The same arithmetic in the other direction is why the multiplier is attractive, and both halves are real. What tilts the average outcome is the cost layer: the opening fee is charged on the exposure rather than the wager, a rolling fee accrues every eight hours, and settlement happens at a spread rather than the mid price. The leverage page has the calculator.

Moon.com is crypto only in both directions — there are no cards, no bank transfers and no e-wallets. Deposits start at roughly $10 in equivalent and arrive after the network confirms; withdrawals go back out in coin, after identity verification is complete. Practically, that means the first withdrawal is the slow one and everything after it depends on the network you chose.

Sign-up is an email-and-password form with your country and an age confirmation: no phone step, no social login and no identity check at this stage. Two fields matter more than they look. The email becomes the account identifier and the only route to a password reset, and the country you declare is checked when you withdraw — not when you register — so declaring anything other than where you live only moves the problem to the worst possible moment.

If you want the promo code on the account, enter NEWBONUS on the sign-up form itself; a code added after the account exists is usually refused. One account per person is a term, and a duplicate account is the standard reason a withdrawal gets frozen. The full walkthrough is on registration; signing back in, including password resets, is on login.

Play Money is a demo balance inside the same interface, on the same live prices, with no deposit and no identity check — you only need to register. The markets, the multiplier range and the Max Loss Price behave exactly as they do with real money; the difference is that the balance is not yours and cannot be withdrawn. For a product whose risk is this front-loaded, it is the honest place to spend the first hour.

There is no store listing we can confirm. Moon.com runs in the browser, and the mobile layout can be installed as a web app so it opens without browser chrome: on Android, open the site in Chrome and choose Add to Home screen; on iOS it has to be Safari, via Share → Add to Home Screen. It is the same account, the same balance and the same session, and the demo works there too. Treat any APK offered on a third-party site as hostile — an account that can send funds to a crypto address is exactly what a repackaged installer is after.

Two things get worse on a small screen, and both matter here. The chart is smaller, so the distance to your Max Loss Price is easier to misjudge at a high multiplier, and a phone invites quick, frequent bets. If you intend to hold positions rather than open and close them in seconds, the desktop layout is the better tool — installing the web app.

Moon.com shows other people’s open positions, their results and a ranking of top performers — an unusual amount of transparency for a house-banked product. It is useful for seeing which markets actually have activity, for a sanity check that the book is live, and for a feel of typical stake sizes.

It is not useful for copying. A leaderboard shows survivors, not averages: the people who took a 1000x position and lost do not appear on it, and no leaderboard shows the denominator. On a product with negative expected value, a run of wins is what survivorship looks like. See the leaderboard page.

The site is operated by Moon International Limited (Union of the Comoros, reg. 16151, Anjouan) and runs on an offshore Anjouan licence, number ALSI-202601063-FI2, which we last confirmed in the public register on 21 August 2026. Offshore is the accurate description: the regime is far lighter than the FCA, CySEC or MGA, and if a dispute goes badly your practical recourse is limited. That is a fact about the licence, not an accusation about the operator.

Trade press has linked Moon to Easygo — the company behind Stake and Kick — on the strength of job listings. The operator has not confirmed any such connection, and neither its terms nor its privacy policy mention it, so we report it as press speculation and nothing more. What we can check, we check: the register entry, the terms, the fee schedule and the cashier's published limits. The detail sits on is Moon.com legit, and our method is on about.

Two tests have to pass, and they are separate. The first is whether the operator accepts you: Moon.com keeps a restricted-territories list in its terms, the United States is on it, and the list changes, so the terms are the only current source. A VPN does not make you eligible — the account terms decide, using one to disguise your location is normally grounds to void a withdrawal, and location is checked at verification.

The second is whether your own country permits leveraged retail betting at all, which several do not. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice; if you are unsure, that is a question for a local professional. How to check both is on countries and legality.

Support runs through the account area and the operator’s help centre. Open the ticket from inside a signed-in session, and put everything in the first message: for a payment, the transaction hash or cashier reference, the amount and the network; for a position, the time, the asset, the multiplier and what you expected to happen. That usually turns four replies into one.

Support can chase a deposit that confirmed on-chain but has not been credited, explain a fee, act on a verification request, and close or self-exclude an account. It cannot reverse a settled position or recover coins sent to a wrong address on a public blockchain. Details on support and contacts.

A capped loss is not a small loss. Each bet can only cost its stake, but once the opening fee, the rolling fee and the settlement spread are counted, the expected value of each bet is negative — and a market that never closes, with instant results at high multipliers, is exactly the pattern that makes betting hard to stop.

Six criteria, each scored from 0 to 10 with a written reason next to the bar, feed the overall verdict of 8.3/10. A number needs a source: where the operator has not published a figure, we say where to read it instead of inventing a plausible one, which is why no bonus value appears on this site. Press reports are labelled as reports, a licence is cited with its register and the date we checked it, and the downsides sit on the same page as the upsides.

This page was last reviewed on 13 September 2026. Two facts carry their own check dates, because they are verified at the source rather than on the page: the licence register entry (21 August 2026) and the promo code terms (29 August 2026). If you open an account through a link here we may earn a commission; it does not change the score. The full method is on about.
