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.
