FanDuel launches paid injury protection for player prop bets
FanDuel has launched Bet Protect+ for pre-game and live player prop bets in select licensed US markets. The optional feature costs 3% of the wager; straight bets are refunded in cash if a player is injured, while parlays are recalculated without the affected leg. FanDuel said it plans to extend the feature to other sports.
Operators competing in US sports betting markets may face pressure to offer comparable paid protection on player prop wagers.
