What is AthX?

Quick takeaway

AthX (The Athlete Sports Exchange) is a user-first, skill-based sports trading platform. You buy and sell fractional shares in MLB players and MLB teams, build a portfolio, and pay low transaction fees instead of the heavy rake common in daily fantasy sports (DFS). Projections, fantasy points, and analysis on the platform come from AthX Engine. You can earn monthly dividends and diversity bonuses when you meet hold and eligibility rules. AthX is not sports betting: outcomes tie to real performance and transparent marketplace rules. Sign up free, then read Terms and FAQ for your region.

What AthX is (and is not)

AthX is: a place to trade athlete and team shares, track AthX Engine fantasy points, use dynamic pricing, join tournaments when available, and learn through Academy and the blog.

AthX is not: a traditional DFS lobby where you must beat a prize-pool rake every slate, or a sportsbook ticket. We make money when you trade under our fee schedule, not when you “lose” a bet.

Coverage today: MLB players and all 30 teams on the marketplace (900+ player listings and team shares, subject to IPO and listing rules described in how it works). Other sports may expand over time; announcements appear on the blog and launch pages when we have firm news.

AthX Engine: projections and fantasy points

AthX Engine powers season-long projections, daily fantasy points, and the scoring logic behind prices and dividends. When you read a player or team page, the projection and fantasy numbers are AthX rules, not ESPN or FanDuel scoring. That keeps one ruler across trading, recaps, and education.

Where you use AthX

Web: getathx.com for signup, marketplace, dashboard for holdings, blog, and account settings.

Accounts, deposits, and AthX$

1. Create an account at Sign up (free to start). 2. Deposit at least $10 where supported. Deposits convert to trading balance per current product copy; you typically receive 20× AthX$ trading power (e.g. $10 → $200 AthX$) so you can size positions in-app. Processing fees may apply at checkout: read the fee line before you confirm. 3. Trade on the marketplace in AthX$. Withdrawals follow Terms and in-app rules (minimums and holds may apply).

Trading: marketplace, IPOs, and pricing

Players and teams: Buy and sell fractional shares at live prices. New listings and IPOs follow platform rules (see how it works for IPO, force-sell, and liquidity context).

Dynamic pricing: Prices respond to performance vs projection, trading volume, and AthX Engine pace logic. Full detail is in dynamic pricing explained; always check the player or team page before you trade.

Fees (snapshot)

Fees change with product tiers; confirm in-app before each trade.

Standard: Roughly 1% on buys and ~3% on sells (shown at confirmation).

AthX Pro: Lower fees on the sell side for subscribers (e.g. 0% buys / 2% sells in common copy: verify live).

Deposits: A processing fee may apply (often cited around 3% in help copy: check checkout).

Withdrawals: No AthX fee in typical messaging; banks or processors may charge separately.

Compared to DFS rake, AthX is built for repeat trading with transparent per-trade costs, not prize-pool extraction.
