Now you can keep cooking on your PrizePicks Lineup, even after you hit submit.
Early Payout is now available in the app for select sports, putting the power in your hands to decide: collect your payout before the games ends? Or sweat it out until the end?
Just look for the Early Payout slider on eligible Lineups on the My Lineups tab in the app, and swipe to settle your Lineup early and instantly receive the credits to your balance.
You’re in full control of your Lineup from start to payout. If your picks are trending toward a W after the games start, you can decide to lock in a payout before your players are finished by swiping to collect your payout.
No more wondering what could have been — or riding out a dud because you have to. With Early Payout, you have more flexibility, more strategy, and more ways to play PrizePicks during the game.
How Early Payout Works on PrizePicks
Early Payout lets you get paid on a Lineup that hasn’t fully finished yet on eligible sports and stat types.
You’ll still have a window to get a full refund after you submit your Lineup. After that, once at least two players are in action, Early Payout will become available.
Early Payout values update dynamically based on player performance; you’ll see the value fluctuate throughout the game. If the Early Payout is available, you can swipe to take it, get it instantly credited to your balance, and keep moving to your next Lineup.
Here’s how Early Payout works in three easy steps:
- Look for the Early Payout slider on eligible Lineups under your “My Lineups” tab.
- Swipe to complete your Early Payout.
- Your account is credited with the payout listed on the Early Payout.
Once an Early Payout is confirmed, your Lineup is settled, and the payment amount is credited to your account.

- Once you take an Early Payout, that Lineup is settled and won’t change with future results.
Why Use Early Payouts on PrizePicks?
It’s simple — Early Payouts give you a chance to guarantee a payout while the games are still going, or call it quits on a busted Lineup before it goes to 0.
Here’s three reasons why Early Payouts add a layer of strategy to PrizePicks.
1. Smarter Plays in Real Time
Everyone loves to follow the game with a Lineup locked in. Now, you can keep an eye on your Early Payout, and get paid out whenever you’re ahead, without needing to sweat the full slate.
2. Instant Payouts
Once you swipe on the Early Payout bar under your Lineup, your payout will hit your balance immediately. Fresh balance to run it back and secure a W.
3. More control, no regrets
No more second-guessing; now you can make decisions based on how your picks are trending, not just how they end. Or maybe you’re just second-guessing picking the receiver playing through a hamstring injury.
Now, you have the power to make real-time decisions based on performance and momentum — not what-ifs — and get paid out.
PrizePicks Early Payout FAQs
Here are players’ most frequently asked questions about the new Early Payout feature.
Is Early Payout available on all Lineups?
No. Right now, Early Payout is available for select sports and stat types. You’ll only see the Early Payout option if your Lineup qualifies.
Is Early Payout available before any games start?
You can receive your full entry fee back for a short period after your submit — the refund period. After this window has passed, Early Payout will not be an option until at least two games in your Lineup have started.
Can I use Early Payout during live games?
Yes, that’s what Early Payouts are all about — getting paid when your picks are riding hot in-game. Whether your players are trending up or down, you’ll see an Early Payout option appear as games are happening. The payout is dependent on how your picks are performing in real time.
How do I get an Early Payout?
If it’s available, you’ll see it under your Lineup in the My Lineups tab on your PrizePicks app. Just swipe the Early Payout slider on the Lineup to confirm your payout.
What happens after I take an Early Payout?
Your Lineup is marked as complete, and your payout is credited to your account right away. That Lineup will not payout any further, even if future projections change and players accumulate additional stats in game. You can still track progress in your Lineups tab, even after you take an Early Payout.
How is the Early Payout amount calculated?
It’s based on a combination of what picks are locked, what’s still open, and how your picks are trending in their games. After a short post-lock window where the payout is fixed, values will begin to update based on projection data.
Does Early Payout replace the refund option?
Nope — that’s still there! You can refund your entry in a short window after submission before, just like always. Early Payout is a separate feature that allows you to get paid out early if your Lineup is eligible.
