Any excuse for them to hold money longer, makes them more money. Keeping millions for a few extra months and getting interest off it is easy profit. I wouldnt pay out anyone either.
Why make it sound so nefarious? If I am betting on someone to win the election I don't expect to get paid until they legally win. If the book makes interest on that money in the meantime it doesn't make them evil, it just makes them not fucking stupid.

You can pay out at any time, but you can NEVER reverse your payout.
And if you pay out wrong, everyone you fucked will come after you for their money.
archive/screen cap the bet and the terms of the bet (if you can)
I can guarantee that info will disappear very soon
