Alright, guys, let’s dive into something that’s been bugging me and probably a lot of you too – what happens on FanDuel when an NBA player gets hurt mid-game? Does FanDuel void those bets? I spent a good chunk of today digging into this, and here’s the lowdown from my experience.
So, I started by checking the FanDuel rules, naturally. It is very important for things like this. Read the rule book carefully.
Then I placed a few small bets on a couple of NBA games tonight. I purposely picked a few player props – you know, like points, rebounds, assists – just to see what would happen if someone got benched.
I kept a close eye on the games, and sure enough, in one of the games, a player I’d bet on (I won’t name names, but let’s just say he’s known for being a bit injury-prone) tweaked his ankle in the second quarter. He headed to the locker room and didn’t come back.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. I immediately went back to my FanDuel app to check my bets.
- First scenario: The bet that related directly to him, something like “over 15.5 points,”.
- Second: I didn’t see any immediate “void” notification or anything.
I waited until the game officially ended, refreshing the app like a maniac. Still nothing. No void, no refund. The bet was simply marked as a loss.
Feeling a bit frustrated, I decided for the first time to contact FanDuel’s customer support. I fired off a quick message explaining the situation and asking for clarification.
I continued checking social media to see if others were having similar experiences.
Finally, it is confirmed.
