Affiliate disclosure. The partner link in the masthead and in the band beside the copy on this page is a sponsored link to a partner operator, and this site may be paid if you open an account through it, at no extra cost to you. It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab. The subject of this desk is the fraction a rounding leaves behind - a figure that appears on no statement - so its own interest is stated here rather than left for a footer: one link funds the site, and no operator, market, currency, price or product is named, rated or recommended anywhere on it.

Every figure on this site

Every figure the desk quotes is gathered here with the arithmetic beside it, so that a reader can check any claim without leaving the page. Each figure derives from one of the samples defined on the overview.

the unitThe smallest amount the currency can express. In a two-decimal currency it is 0.01; the increment a stake must take is coarser and published per market.
the directionWhich way each rounding goes: down on a stake and a return, up on a duty and down on a prize. It is a rule, published, and it decides who keeps the fraction.
the volumeOne unit per event is nothing once and a figure at scale: on the samples, two thousand events of the same size retain 60.00 from the digits alone.
Direct answer

Eleven invented samples produce every figure on the site. Their headline numbers are: a request of 10.33 places as four different stakes; a stake tail of 0.24 across 75.04 requested; a return that pays 0.03 less under a round-down rule; four balances that display more than they hold; a credit gap of 54.22; a conversion cost of 1.75% at the small end; 0.0335 collected by two directions; 60.00 retained at volume; four prices that differ from their display; and a column 0.03 larger than its own total.

The eleven samples

4distinct stakes from one request of 10.33 (sample A)
0.24stake tail across 75.04 requested (sample B)
0.03difference between the two return rules (sample C)
4 of 8balances showing more than they hold (sample D)
54.22deposited but not credited, cap plus rounding (sample E)
1.75%the conversion rounding at the small end (sample F)
0.0335collected by an up-duty and a down-prize (sample G)
60.00retained across two thousand events (sample H)
0.00499999the largest dust a display shows as nothing (sample I)
0.03the shown column against its own total (sample J)
4 of 8prices differing from their display (sample R)

Each figure with its arithmetic

sample A - the increment 10.33 asked → 10.30 / 10.20 / 10.25 / 10.00 across seven increments largest tail 0.33 ÷ smallest 0.03 = 11.0×
sample B - the stake placed 74.80 of 75.04 requested → tail 0.24 0.24 ÷ 75.04 = 0.32% ; 0.24 ÷ 4 tails = 0.06 mean
sample C - the return down 64.04 ; nearest 64.07 → 0.03 apart 0.03 ÷ 64.07 = 0.047% ; 5 of 8 bets identical
sample D - the balance 4 show more, 3 show less, 1 agrees largest gap +0.0050 on 50.0050 → shown 50.01 0.0050 ÷ 50.0050 = 0.01%
sample E - the bonus deposited 836.22 ; credited 782.00 → gap 54.22 cap 50.00 + rounding 4.22 ; 4.22 ÷ 836.22 = 0.50%
sample F - the conversion 0.50 × 0.8575 = 0.42875 → 0.42 ; cost 0.00875 0.00875 ÷ 0.50 = 1.75% ; 0.00875 ÷ 100.00 = 0.0000%
sample G - the duty and the prize duty up 3.69 vs exact 3.6735 = 0.0165 ; prizes down 23.66 vs 23.677 = 0.017 0.0165 + 0.017 = 0.0335
sample H - the volume 1,000 × 0.05 + 1,000 × 0.01 = 60.00 ; control 0.00 60.00 ÷ 5,000.00 turnover = 1.2%
sample I - the eighth decimal largest dust 0.00499999 shown as 0.00 0.00499999 ÷ 0.01 = 49.9999% of a cent, invisible
sample J - the display shown column 28.34 ; exact total 28.3100 → shown 28.31 six roundings up of half a unit each → 0.03
sample R - the price 11/8 = 1.375 displayed as 1.38 ; at 100.00 that is +0.50 8/7 = 1.142857 displayed as 1.14 ; at 100.00 that is -0.28
All ten samples are invented and defined for this desk. No real operator, market, currency, exchange rate or price is described. The figures are arithmetic, not observations, and each can be re-derived from the lines above.
