Hey, welcome back to Moon Leverage. Episode 6, and this one's the question everyone asks before they put a dollar in: how do you get money into Moon.com, and more importantly, how do you get it back out. Deposits, withdrawals, the verification you have to do first, and how long a withdrawal actually takes, because we've now tested that ourselves.
Quick recap for anyone new. Moon.com is the up or down betting site from the same people behind Stake. Pick a market, call up or down, choose your leverage anywhere from 1x to 1000x, and your stake is the most you can lose.
First thing to know: Moon is crypto only. That's straight from Moon's help centre, which says Moon only supports cryptocurrency deposits. No card, no bank transfer, no e-wallet. You send crypto from a wallet or an exchange you control, and your balance is live once the network confirms the transaction. Which coins and which networks? Moon hasn't published the list on its public pages, so I'm not going to make one up. The deposit screen inside your verified account shows the current options, and that screen is the source, not a forum post.
Now the part that catches people out. Verification comes before your first deposit, not after. Moon asks for a government-issued ID, front and back, plus a proof of address, and it wants that done before you can fund the account. The same checks apply again before a withdrawal, and Moon's terms allow enhanced due diligence, which in plain words means source-of-funds questions, for accounts it considers higher risk. So the smart order is: register, verify straight away, learn the product with play money while the documents are being checked, and by the time you're ready to deposit, the deposit screen is already open.
On play money, quickly, because it's the right way to use the waiting time. Moon has a play money mode you toggle from the main menu. It gives you a simulated balance of $100,000, and you can refill it as many times as you like. Same markets, same leverage, same liquidation maths, no real money, and nothing to withdraw. Use it to find out what 1000x feels like before it's your crypto on the line.
Right, withdrawals. They go back out in crypto, to an address you give Moon. The terms say withdrawals are subject to anti-money-laundering checks, to minimum and maximum limits, and to network fees. Moon doesn't print the limits or a fee schedule on its public pages, so again, the cashier is the source for the exact numbers on the day.
What Moon also doesn't publish is a processing time. So we ran our own. We opened an account through our own link, exactly the way you would, verified it, deposited, placed real bets, and then withdrew to a wallet we control. The withdrawal arrived in seconds. Not hours, not a queue, seconds from clicking withdraw to the funds showing up on chain. That's one withdrawal from one verified account with normal activity on it, so treat it as a data point rather than a promise. But it's our money and our timestamp, and the full log with the steps is on our sister site, ismoonlegit.com, under withdrawal test.
A few things that will slow a withdrawal down, based on Moon's terms rather than guesswork. Incomplete verification: if your address document has expired, expect a request for a new one before anything moves. Deposit and withdraw patterns with no betting in between, which is exactly what the anti-money-laundering checks are built to catch. Bonus funds: rakeback and any bonus balance carry wagering requirements under Moon's rules, so money still tied to a requirement isn't withdrawable until it's met. And the limits: below the minimum won't go through, above the maximum gets split or refused.
One more thing on costs, because people mix them up. Getting money in and out costs you the network fee, paid to the blockchain, not to Moon. The fees Moon charges are on the bets themselves: a 1% opening fee on your stake, a holding fee every 8 hours a bet stays open, and a performance fee of at least 10% on realised profit, nothing on losses. Rakeback, with the code moonlev, gives you 3.5% of those fees back. Episode 3 covers the fee stack in detail if you want the worked examples.
So, the short version. Crypto in, crypto out. Verify first, with ID and proof of address, before your first deposit. Read the deposit screen for the coin and network, and send on the right network, because sending on the wrong one is the classic way to lose a deposit anywhere in crypto. Withdraw once early, even a small amount, so you've seen it work with your own balance. Ours took seconds.
