Pricing & Fees
One fee. No surprises. Every contest on Rocket DFS uses the same transparent 10% platform rake.
0% rake during launch week
When Rocket DFS launches in September 2026, every paid contest runs with 0% rake. The full entry pool goes to winners — Rocket DFS collects nothing. The standard 10% rake applies after the promotional period ends.

Common questions
- Does the 10% rake apply to every contest type?
- Yes — the same 10% rake applies to all six game formats: Draft Baron, Free Agent Frenzy, Team Fantasy, Fantasy Bingo, Stat Rankings, and Block Pools. Freeroll (free-to-enter) contests have no rake.
- What is 0% rake during launch week?
- During our launch promotion, all paid contests run at 0% rake — the full entry pool goes to winners. The promotion applies to all contest types from the platform launch date through the end of launch week. After that, the standard 10% rake resumes.
- Are there payment processing fees on deposits or withdrawals?
- We do not add a platform fee on top of payment processing. Any processing fee charged by the payment processor (e.g., a card network fee) is absorbed in the rake, not charged separately. Pre-launch: deposit and withdrawal functionality is coming soon.
- What is the minimum deposit?
- The minimum deposit is $10. You can add funds in any amount at or above that — start small and scale up whenever you like.
- What is the minimum withdrawal, and how long do withdrawals take?
- The minimum withdrawal is $20. Approved withdrawals are returned to the verified payment method you used to fund your account and typically settle within 1–3 business days. Rocket DFS does not charge a withdrawal fee.
- What does “winnings subject to verification” mean?
- Before your first withdrawal we run a one-time identity check (KYC) to confirm who you are, your age, and your eligibility, and we screen withdrawals for fraud. Most clear automatically; if we need a document we'll email you, and a flagged withdrawal is held only until that review completes — not indefinitely. Verification protects your account and is required by state regulators.
- How does Team Fantasy pricing work?
- Team Fantasy is a private league format. Your commissioner sets the entry fee at league creation — it can be $0 (play money), $5, or any amount you agree on. The rake applies to whatever pool is collected, so a $50 league runs on a $45 net pot.
- Is my winnings amount shown before or after rake?
- Contest detail pages display the net prize pool after rake (what you can actually win), not the gross amount collected. The rake deduction is noted in the payout breakdown.
