How does voting decide the outcome?

Quick answer

In "Vote on it" bets, all participants vote on the outcome after the event. The majority wins.

For a bet created with 'Vote on it' resolution, the people who wagered decide what happened after the event.

Eligible participants cast a vote for the outcome they believe matches the question and agreed terms.

The side with the majority of votes becomes the result.

This method is useful for social questions that an outside data source cannot settle reliably, such as whether someone arrived on time or whether a challenge was completed.

Write the question so voters are judging one observable condition, and include a deadline or threshold when it matters.

Participants should vote from the original wording, not from a changed interpretation discussed after wagering closed.

If the vote is tied or the group cannot determine the outcome, the bet can be treated as unresolved and stakes are returned according to the cancellation and tie rules.

For an event with an objective public result, make that source clear when creating the bet so everyone starts with the same expectation.
