FanDuel launches Bet Protect+ ahead of NFL season
FanDuel, the premier online gaming company in North America, announced a new slate of product experiences coming to FanDuel Sportsbook for the NFL season designed to give customers more control and choice over their rewards while bolstering their in-app research capabilities.
Following strong customer engagement during the NBA Playoffs and throughout the WNBA season, Bet Protect+ will now be available for wagers on NFL games, offering FanDuel customers more control when an injury impacts their player prop bets.
For just 3% of a wager, customers can choose to add full-game injury protection. If a player leaves the game due to injury and does not return, customers who enabled Bet Protect+ for a prop wager on the player will receive a cash refund on straight bets or have the affected leg of a parlay removed and the payout recalculated.
New for the NFL season, customers will have the option to auto opt-in to Bet Protect+ and can use the feature on bets funded with Bonus Bets. The My Bets page will also show impacted bets in real-time when an injury is confirmed, and customers will receive real-time cash settlement. Bet Protect+ puts choice directly in customers’ hands, offering greater flexibility and confidence to decide when to protect their bet.
“Our customers look forward to football season, and this year we’re giving them more control of their experience to make it the most rewarding season ever,” said Karol Corcoran, Managing Director, Sports at FanDuel. “Rewards Club offers those who continue to choose FanDuel Sportsbook more promotions and flexibility in how they use them, and we’re also thrilled to bring new research tools and an enhanced version of our popular Bet Protect+ to the NFL.”
