Anyone else finding it tricky with event contract payouts?

Been dabbling a bit more seriously with event contracts recently, and while the idea is great, I'm finding the payout process a bit clunky. Specifically, I've had a few instances where the final settlement confirmation and funds availability felt a bit delayed compared to what I'd expect from a traditional futures market. Is this just the nature of these types of contracts or am I just using a platform that's a bit slow on the back-end? Just trying to gauge if it's a common experience or something I should be factoring into my trading strategy more.

I've noticed this too, especially with platforms that are newer to offering event contracts. It seems like the back-end infrastructure for quick, guaranteed settlements isn't always as robust as with more established markets. Have you found any particular platforms to be better or worse in this regard?

I've noticed something similar with a couple of platforms; it feels like there's an extra layer of verification or processing for event contract payouts. Have you tried comparing the settlement times across different brokers for the same types of events, or is this primarily with one specific platform?
