How Inari works
What happens after an Inari market closes?
Understand awaiting proof, provisional results, final payouts and cancelled markets without needing to learn oracle jargon.
The deadline stops betting
A deadline and an outcome are different things. When a market closes, new bets stop. The final price may still be visible in its history, but a 60% YES price is not a YES result and does not release a payout.
Your unsettled bet remains in My Bets. Live bets and bets waiting for evidence have separate filters, so you can see whether a position is still tradable or waiting for its outcome. An old delayed bet should remain findable even when it has left the recent Results list.
The market’s rules decide the answer
Each question needs a source, an observation period and a rule that turns the evidence into YES or NO. Check the full conditions on the market page. Two similar titles can have different deadlines or thresholds.
A missing response does not establish NO. A page captured today may also be unable to prove what happened yesterday. When data is unavailable or ambiguous, the market’s stated delay and cancellation rules matter. Inari must not quietly replace those rules after people have entered.
Under review means the payout is still pending
For the automated Duel resolution path, Inari can first record a provisional answer. This closes trading and starts a dispute period without paying positions. The normal review window is 24 hours; an open dispute prevents automatic finalization.
After the review conditions are met, final settlement applies the outcome and pays positions. Other resolution paths can have different procedures. Check the specific market instead of assuming every result uses the same timer.
Use the settled amount as your receipt
A final YES or NO outcome settles according to the side you hold and the market’s rules. A cancelled market uses a VOID outcome and its refund procedure. My Bets shows the recorded amount paid or returned; an estimated position value is not that receipt.
Inari currently uses play-money $INARI. It is not a cash balance. Results shows a short recent list, while the archive keeps older records accessible. If your own bet is delayed, open it from My Bets and follow its evidence and status.
