That is indeed the way to look at it, as you have $100 at risk.

It is no different than being on the waitlist for an Ivy but accepted by a UC - you SIR to where you will go unless the conditional acceptance, waitlist, financial arrangements or whatever are resolved since you will only conditionally go to the other school and they haven’t yet responded with the information you need to make a firm commitment there.
