Frequently asked questions

When do my winnings show up?

As soon as the official result is published, usually within minutes of full-time. Some markets (player props) settle once the match ends.

Can I cash out before the match ends?

Yes — most pre-match and in-play bets show a Cash Out button. The amount offered changes with the live odds.
