FanDuel is giving its customers the option to protect against injury-induced losses throughout NBA playoff games.

Bet Protect+ is a new optional feature that will either give customers refunds for straight bets or remove parlay legs if a player leaves the game at any point due to injury.
Key Takeaways
Users must apply Bet Protect+ to wagers before they are submitted.
Bet Protect+ costs 3% of a user’s stake per wager.
Affected bets will be refunded or have an affected leg removed from a parlay.
Bet Protect was first introduced to FanDuel Sportsbook users in September, ahead of the new NFL season. The NBA playoffs began this past weekend and customers can now enjoy full-game injury protection on the hardwood.
All customers have the option to trigger Bet Protect+ before placing their favorite wagers. Anyone who wants to add it will pay an additional flat 3% fee to the total stake of the selected wager.
Full-game player prop bets placed before a playoff game begins will be eligible for Bet Protect+, as indicated by a toggle box in users’ bet slips. Bonus bets cannot be used to cover the 3% fee, which will be charged when wagers are submitted. However, bonus bets can be used for the stake itself.

Refunds for straight bets (stake only)

Live betting odds cannot be protected, although FanDuel is working on adding that feature.
“The challenge is that even with the most well-planned bet, the most comprehensive research, the best hunch – it can all get squashed by an unexpected injury. We want to allow our customers to regain that loss of control,” said Jon Sadow, FanDuel’s sportsbook product vice president, in a release.
