What is a Delayed Cash Out?

A Delayed Cash Out occurs when you sell a betting position for a profit before the event ends. While you receive your original stake immediately, any profits are held until the final result confirms the bet didn't end in a push (tie), protecting all marketplace participants.

When you place a bet on BettorEdge and later decide to sell that position at a profit before the event concludes, the cash out process happens in two parts:

1. Immediate Return: Your original stake is returned to your account instantly
2. Delayed Profit: Any profit above your original stake is held temporarily until the event finishes

This delay specifically applies when there's still a possibility that the final game result could end in a push (tie). Once the event concludes and if no push occurs, your profit is automatically released to your account.

This system serves several important purposes:

• Protects marketplace integrity: Ensures fair outcomes for all participants
• Manages push risk: Addresses the possibility of bets ending in ties
• Provides liquidity: Allows users to lock in profits before events conclude
• Offers transparency: Clear process with no high fees like traditional betting platforms

Let's walk through a real-world example:

1. You place a $10 bet on the Buffalo Bills at -3 points (potential win: $20)
2. During the game, you decide to sell this position for $15
3. At this point:
   • You immediately receive your original $10 stake back
   • The $5 profit is held temporarily
4. After the game ends:
• If the Bills win by exactly 3 points (a push), all original stakes are returned and no profit is paid
• If the Bills win by any other margin or lose, your $5 profit is released to your account

Delayed profits are typically released shortly after the event concludes and official results are confirmed. This usually happens within minutes of the game ending, though in rare cases it might take slightly longer for unusual situations or official scoring adjustments.

Problem: My profit hasn't been released after the game ended 

Solution: Wait a few minutes for official results to be processed. If after 30 minutes you still haven't received your funds, contact customer support

Problem: I'm not sure if my bet ended in a push 

Solution: Check the final score and your original bet details in your account history, or contact support for clarification

To make the most of the Delayed Cash Out feature:

1. Monitor your active bets in your account dashboard
2. Consider selling positions when you see favorable odds shifts by hedging
3. Remember that your original stake is always returned immediately
4. Be patient with profit payouts, especially for close games
