How Polymarket payout works?

Polymarket payouts are straightforward: $1 per winning share. Payout process: Market resolves - Event occurs and market closes.

Redemption - Winners redeem shares for $1 each. Processing - Payouts typically within hours of resolution. Credit - Funds credited to your Polymarket wallet.

Payout calculation: Multiply your winning shares by $1. 60. Market resolves YES.

Payout = 50 x $1 = $50. Profit = $50 - $30 invested = $20. Losing shares: Worth $0 after resolution.

No payout for incorrect predictions.
