# Fees

This page explains fees and allocations that apply when tickets are purchased in CoinLotto lotteries.

CoinLotto applies a **5% Protocol Fee** to Protocol Lottery and User-Created Lottery ticket sales. A **5% CLT Protocol Fee** applies to CLT used to enter a Super Lottery.

For Protocol Lotteries and User-Created Lotteries, fees and allocations are deducted from ticket sales before the remaining amount enters the Prize Pool. The applicable structure depends on the lottery type.

## Fee Overview

| Lottery Type | Protocol Fee | Super Lottery Allocation | Creator Fee |
| - | - | - | - |
| Protocol Lottery | **5%** of ticket sales | **10%** of ticket sales | — |
| Super Lottery | **5%** of CLT used to enter | — | — |
| User-Created Lottery | **5%** of ticket sales | — | **Up to 30%** of ticket sales |

## Protocol Fee

Protocol fees apply to ticket purchases in all CoinLotto lottery types.

In Protocol Lotteries and User-Created Lotteries, the **5% Protocol Fee** is deducted from ticket sales before the remaining amount is added to the Prize Pool.

In a Super Lottery, a **5% CLT Protocol Fee** applies to CLT used to enter the lottery.

For Protocol Lotteries and User-Created Lotteries, [Referral Revenue Share](/referral/referral-program) is calculated from the Protocol Fee. It does not apply to Super Lotteries.

## Super Lottery Allocation

Each Protocol Lottery directs **10%** of its ticket sales to one linked Super Lottery. This allocation funds the linked Super Lottery’s Prize Pool; it is not taken from the Protocol Lottery’s Prize Pool.

No Super Lottery Allocation applies to User-Created or Super Lotteries.

## Creator Fee

A Creator Fee applies only to a User-Created Lottery. The CoinLotto protocol allows Creators to set it when creating the lottery, from 0% to 30% of ticket sales. It is deducted from ticket sales before the remaining amount enters the Prize Pool.

CoinLotto expects to reduce this maximum significantly in future protocol configurations. Any future reduction applies only to newly created User-Created Lotteries; existing lotteries retain the fixed configuration set when they were created.

The Creator may claim the Creator Fee immediately after the draw is finalized. Claims are manual, on-chain, and do not expire.

## Prize Pool Top-Ups

[Prize Pool Top-Ups](/lottery-mechanics/prize-pool-top-up) are not ticket sales. The full top-up amount goes directly to the target Prize Pool, with no Protocol Fee, Creator Fee, or Super Lottery Allocation.
