# claims and refunds

HyperPot uses claimable balances.

Winners and refunded players must claim manually from the app.

## Why Claiming Exists

The contract does not push winnings directly to users during settlement.

Instead, it credits:

```solidity
claimableWinnings[user] += amount;
```

Then the user calls:

```solidity
claim()
```

This pattern is safer because settlement does not depend on the winner accepting an immediate transfer.

## How To Claim

1. Connect your wallet.
2. Open the wallet dropdown in the top-right.
3. Check `Claimable Amount`.
4. Click `Claim`.
5. Confirm the transaction.

## Winner Claims

If you win a round, the app should show a success notification.

Your prize becomes claimable in the wallet dropdown.

## Solo Refunds

If you are the only unique player in a round and the timer expires, the round is cancelled.

Your full deposit is credited as claimable HYPE.

The app displays a refund notification when it detects the cancelled round.

## Cancelled Stuck Draw Refunds

If a draw is requested but Pyth Entropy does not fulfill within the timeout, the round can be marked as stuck and cancelled.

Depositors can then claim refunds for that cancelled round.

## Nothing To Claim

If your claimable amount is zero and you click `Claim`, the UI will show that there is nothing to claim.

No claim transaction is needed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hyperpot.gitbook.io/hyperpot-docs/claims-and-refunds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
