Cashout Engine
The Cashout feature allows operators to offer their customers the option to settle a bet and lock in profit (or limit loss) before the event has ended. Depending on how the event is progressing, the calculated winnings may be higher or lower than the original ticket payout.
With Sportradar’s Cashout Engine, operators can choose between three operations, depending on how they want to manage calculation, validation, and reporting of cashout requests: cashout-inform, cashout-placement and cashout-build.
Cashout-Inform
Purpose: Lightweight reporting of already processed cashout requests.
How it works: The operator performs its own cashout calculation and execution, then informs MTS afterwards (post factum).
Validation: MTS only checks that the reported cashout amount does not exceed the maximum potential payout of the ticket at the time of the request.
Partial Cashouts: Operators may send several partial cashout requests. Each new request must include the cumulative value of all previous partial cashouts. MTS always considers the last request as final.
Use case: For operators who want to manage calculation and execution themselves, while keeping MTS liabilities up to date.
Cashout-Placement
Purpose: Full validation of cashout requests by MTS, similar to how bet placement works.
How it works: The operator sends a cashout request to MTS, which validates it in real time against punter, event, and market profiles, as well as configurable operator rules.
Validation: Can be done against either the fair cashout value (no margin) or a margin-adjusted cashout (operator-defined configs, consumed through cashout-build).
Risk Management: MTS applies all internal checks to ensure payouts are fair, profitable, and consistent with the operator’s strategy.
Use case: For operators who want to outsource risk management and compliance of cashout decisions to MTS.
Cashout-Build
Purpose: Real-time calculation and recommendation of optimal cashout values.
How it works: Operators ping the Cashout Engine to retrieve punter, event, and market insights, as well as dynamic cashout values.
Returns:
Bettor profile (confidence value, late bet score, marker score, bot score…)
Event profile (event rating, recommended live time delay)
Market profile (market rating, current probabilities)
Calculated values: max potential win, fair cashout value, margin-adjusted cashout, event/punter-based live time delay
Use case: For operators who want flexible integration with Sportradar’s risk intelligence while keeping execution logic in their own systems.
With these three complementary operations, operators can select the level of support they need: from simple reporting (cashout-inform), to full validation (cashout-placement), to advanced real-time calculation (cashout-build).
When MTS processes and accepts the cashout request, the liabilities will be recalculated accordingly. The receipt of cashout information does not have an immediate effect on invoicing for the MTS services between Sportradar and the operator.
