# Check Your Balance

> Learn how your cash balance works, including deposits, withdrawals, and available funds

Your **cash balance** is the money not tied to any open positions. You can use it to trade or withdraw back to your original deposit source.

## How It Works

* Deposits appear as cash
* Proceeds from sales or resolved markets return automatically to cash
* Withdrawals can be made only from your cash balance

## Regulatory Requirement

Withdrawals must return to the same account or payment method used for the deposit, as required under anti-money-laundering (AML) rules.
