What happens to funds while a prediction is active?

When users place a bid, they want to know where the money goes and when it becomes available again. A clear wallet experience builds trust because users can see which funds are available, locked, pending, or ready to withdraw.

Locked balance vs available balance

Funds used in an active prediction should appear as locked until the market resolves. This prevents double spending and gives users a cleaner view of what they can still use.

Why settlement can take time

Some outcomes are obvious immediately, while others need official confirmation. A short settlement window allows the platform to verify sources, reconcile results, and reduce disputes.

Security is part of the product

Account protection is not only about passwords. Two-step verification, withdrawal review, device checks, and clear account alerts all help users feel safer.

Final thought

Better predictions usually come from clear rules, patient reading, and a measured position size. Treat every market as a learning opportunity, not just a quick outcome.
