Settlement begins once a market’s outcome is finalized. Polymarket Clearing processes the settlement and updates balances automatically in your Portfolio.

​
After Resolution

When a market resolves:
  • Winning contracts settle at $1.00
  • Losing contracts settle at $0.00
  • Your Portfolio updates automatically when settlement completes

​
Alternative Settlement

Some markets include predefined settlement terms that differ from the standard $1/$0 structure. When alternative settlement applies, Polymarket Clearing follows the instructions in the market’s Settlement Description. These terms determine how all positions are processed for that specific market.

​
Finality of Settlement

All settlements are final in accordance with the Polymarket US Exchange Rulebook.
