    When Are Sportsbooks Going to Start Paying Out Election Bets?

    I have Biden to win pretty big, and a few smaller prop bets. Are they going to drag this on for a few more days or what?

    You'll probably get paid once the official electoral college actually elects Biden so you'll have to wait until mid December.

    All books are different. Bookmaker said they wouldn't grade wagers until January 20, 2021.

    BetOnline said they would grade the wagers once everything was "official". Well.... what does "official" really mean with court hearings in progress? So.... every book probably must be emailed separately... in how they grade it.

    As per Pinnacle, so I'd say Slurry Pumper is correct if other books are following the same:

    All bets will be determined using the official result as declared by the local Electoral Commission or a similar official body.

    How can a book grade election wagers before the results are official?

    The media can not officially declare a winner, they can only report an official winner.

    Neither of the two parties can declare themselves official winners.

    Need to wait until electoral college plays out in December.

    So I did get my bet graded for presidential winner. There are still a few other bets pending, but those are for # of electoral votes Biden gets.

    Totally agree on jan 20th.Until Biden takes the oath and you physically see him or See Trump leave or physically removed from the oval office, I wouldt pay out nothing if I was a book.

    Bet365 paid out
    Sportbet paid out
    Paddy power paid out

    some books want to hold funds, while understandable, this still amounts to an interest free loan, only the mouth breathers still think Trump won.
