# Settlement & Rules

### Settlement

Once match results are in, each bet is resolved automatically. Winning bet pays stake × odds. Losing bet – stake is gone.

Currently, 0% platform fee is deducted from the winner's total payout. This applies to both bettors and creators. After all bets settle, remaining liquidity goes back to the creator.

### Match Cancellation or Postponement

Cancelled or postponed match: bettors get a full refund, creator gets liquidity back. For express bets, the cancelled match is dropped and total odds recalculate without it.

### Restrictions

* Pre-match only – no live betting
* Odds and liquidity cannot be modified after publication

### Concurrency

When multiple bets arrive simultaneously, they're accepted in order as long as liquidity holds. If liquidity runs out mid-queue, remaining bets are rejected.
