HOW DO
PAYOUTS
WORK

PREDICT RIGHT, EARN CASH.

• When an event ends and you're correct, your payout is added to your account right away. That’s called “pending payouts”.

• You can use pending payouts to make more predictions instantly. After 1-2 business days, funds become available and ready to withdraw.

Second Guessing Your Prediction? CASH OUT EARLY.

• The value of your prediction can go up or down before time is up. You can hold for a chance to collect a payout or sell early (if available). Excluding fees, your losses will never exceed your original order value.

• With cash out, you can see your order’s current value, including a 2% fee. If you cash out, you sell your position and the funds go to your buying power as pending payouts.

MORE BUYING POWER, MORE POSSIBILITIES.

• Buying Power is the money you have available to place new predictions. It includes deposits and any payouts or returns from past settlements.

• When you place an order, the system taps into deposits first, then payouts if needed.

PROTECT THE PRICE OF YOUR PREDICTIONS.

• When you place an order on FanDuel Predicts, we get you the best available market price at that moment. Sometimes that means combining several price points, depending on the amount and availability.

• Because other users are also buying or selling their positions, prices and payouts can shift as the order is processed. This is called slippage and can result in minor price changes.

• FanDuel protects you from large price changes. If the price changes a lot, you will be brought back to checkout to confirm before placing your order.

SIMPLE, UPFRONT FEES.

• Nobody loves fees, so we keep things simple and transparent. A 2% transaction fee is included at checkout based on your potential payout. This helps us run the platform.

• If you cash out early, the 2% transaction fee applies to your payout.
