What comes back
The full stake. The percent on the pair is paid to neither side.

Tie
A tie in binary options returns the stake
A tie is the quote matching your entry. It is not “almost there” and not a rounding in anyone’s favor.
Where it lands
On the same account the stake left. Demo returns to demo. Real funds return to the real balance.
When
At expiry on server time, with the rest of the round.
When a tie is fixed
A tie happens in one situation: the external feed quote at server expiry equals your entry price. Not the rival’s price and not the candle open.
Almost the same is not a tie. If the close is even one step above or below, Higher or Lower applies. Rounding on the label does not replace the feed quote.
What happens to the money
The whole stake returns. The percent that stood on the pair before entry is paid to neither side in this outcome.
The credit goes to the account the stake left. Demo stays demo and still cannot be withdrawn. Real funds become free balance again if no other stake is open on them.
What a tie does not undo
Until expiry the amount is still locked. A tie does not let you take the stake back on the tenth second, even if the price has already returned to entry.
Someone else’s contract on the same chart closes on their own entry. Your tie does not cancel their Higher or Lower.
