Claiming Winnings

🏆 Claiming Winnings

Once a market you’ve participated in has been resolved and your prediction was correct, you can claim your payout directly to your wallet.

PredictBase uses smart contracts to handle payouts — no middlemen, no delays.


✅ When Can You Claim?

You can claim your winnings when:

  • The market is resolved

  • Your chosen option is marked as the winning outcome

  • You see a "Claim" button next to your bet in the dashboard


🪜 Step-by-Step: Claiming Your Winnings

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard

  2. Click on the My Bets tab

  3. Locate your resolved bet (it will say “Win”)

  4. Click the Claim button

  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

Your USDC will be sent directly to your wallet balance after confirmation.


🧠 How Are Winnings Calculated?

Your payout is proportional to how much you staked on the winning option:

Your payout = (Your Stake / Total Winning Option Volume) × Total Market Volume

This ensures fair, transparent rewards based on your share of confidence.


⚠️ What If You Don't Claim?

  • Your funds remain available to claim forever — they will never expire.

  • You are responsible for triggering the claim transaction.

  • Gas fees apply (in ETH on Base) — but they are typically very low.


❌ What If the Market Was Canceled?

If the market was canceled (e.g., ambiguous outcome, unresolved event):

  • Your bet becomes refundable

  • You’ll see a "Refund" button instead of "Claim"

  • You can claim back your full USDC stake + any protocol fees you paid


🛠 Notes

  • Each individual bet must be claimed separately

  • Claims are final and handled entirely by the smart contract

  • PredictBase never holds your funds or makes manual payouts


Congratulations on your win! 🎉 Head back to the Markets and keep predicting!
