Cash Out
Settling a bet early for guaranteed return before event ends.
Full Explanation
Cash out is a feature offered by sportsbooks that allows you to settle a bet before the event has finished. If your bet is winning, you can lock in a profit (less than the full potential payout). If your bet is losing, you can cut your losses and recover part of your stake. Partial cash out lets you take some profit while leaving the rest of the bet running. Auto cash out sets a threshold at which your bet is automatically settled. This feature is particularly popular for live betting on PSL matches, rugby, and cricket in South Africa. Not all bets are eligible for cash out.
💡 Example
Your R100 accumulator is winning with one match left. Cash out offers R450 vs potential R800.
