What’s the Difference Between Bet Payout and Winnings?

Whether you’re betting on sports, spinning slots, or chasing a multi-leg parlay, it helps to know how your returns are calculated - especially when promotions are in play.
Let’s break it down.


💰 Bet Payout = Stake + Profit



Bet Payout is the total amount returned to you when your bet wins.
It includes:
Your original stake (the amount you bet)
Plus your profit (your stake multiplied by the odds, minus the stake)
For example:
You bet $100 on a market at 1.50 odds.
If it wins:
Your profit is $100 × (1.50 - 1.00) = $50
Your payout is $100 (stake) + $50 (profit) = $150

🧠 So What Are Bet Winnings?



Winnings refer specifically to the profit portion only - not including your stake.
So from the above example:
Your winnings are $50, not $150.


🎁 How Bonus Winnings Promotions Work



Some SBX promos award bonuses based on your winnings - not your full payout.
Let’s say there’s a "50% Bonus on Winnings" offer.

Using the same example:
Bet: $100
Odds: 1.50
Winnings: $50
50% bonus on winnings = $25 bonus

✅ You still get your $150 payout…
plus $25 bonus credited to your account


🚨 Key Takeaway



Payout = stake + profit
Winnings = profit only
Bonus promos that reference “winnings” are always calculated off the profit, not the full payout.
