Timeline and Payout

Last updated 2 months ago

Was this helpful?

Each market has a "Timeline and Payout" section which informs traders when a given market opened, closes, and is expected to payout. There are two different types of closings that a market may have:

  • Closure when the outcome occurs

  • Closure at a listed date and time

It is important to read timeline and payout information before trading, and to determine which type of closure that market has.

You can find the full description of the closing time for each market in the grey text below the "Pays out" line.

An example of the Timeline and Payout section of a market.
