FanDuel Introduces BetProtect+ for NBA Playoff Injury Coverage

FanDuel is offering additional security throughout the NBA Playoffs, specifically targeting player prop bettors concerned about injuries occurring during the game. Bettors can activate BetProtect+ prior to placing qualifying wagers, paying an extra 3% on top of the stake. While bonus bets can cover the wager, they cannot be used to pay the fee.

This promotion is limited to full-game player props submitted before the game starts. Should a protected player exit the game due to injury and not return, FanDuel will refund the stake for straight bets or eliminate that leg from a parlay and adjust the price accordingly. Eligible bets may still utilize rewards tokens like profit boosts.

There are strict limitations. Live bets are currently excluded, though FanDuel indicated they are developing this feature. Additionally, coverage is void if a player is ejected, fouls out, experiences foul trouble, is benched, or exits and subsequently returns. Mixed parlays containing legs from other sports are also ineligible.

FanDuel initially launched Bet Protect prior to the NFL season in September. Jon Sadow, the sportsbook’s product vice president, stated:

“The difficulty lies in the fact that even the most carefully planned bet, thorough research, or best intuition can be ruined by a sudden injury. We aim to give our customers a way to recover that sense of control.”
