- BetOnline’s new injury insurance protects bettors from losing bets if a player gets injured.
- Their product, PlayerProtect, refunds single bets or parlays that are lost due to an injured player.
- Unlike FanDuel’s Bet Protect and Bet Protect+, BetOnline’s injury insurance is feeless.
ATLANTA – BetOnline joins the fray of online sportsbooks introducing injury insurance with their new PlayerProtect prop betting insurance. This legal sports betting promotion spans for the entire NBA Playoffs and doesn’t have any fees.
With BetOnline PlayerProtect, bettors that lost their parlay or straight bet because of injuries to Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo, or Victory Wembanyama were all refunded. Some of the most notable features of PlayerProtect include:
- Automatically applied to all NBA player props for NBA Playoffs
- Bets refunded if player exits before third quarter and doesn’t return
- Insurance covers straight bets and same game parlays containing player props
- Only covers wagers on the over, under wagers will still be graded as a loss
- Over bets that win will still be paid in full
- No fees
After Victor Wembanyama left in the second quarter of Game 2 and was placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol, all over bettors on his player prop lines were refunded. However, if he had gone over his 19.5-point projection before leaving with injury, over bettors would’ve been paid out on the win. Any parlays where a Wembanyama player prop was the only losing leg qualified for PlayerProtect.
BetOnline Injury Insurance Better Than FanDuel’s Product
Comparing BetOnline’s PlayerProtect to other sportsbooks that recently introduced injury insurance like FanDuel, it’s clear that BetOnline is the best place to bet on the NBA for the Playoffs. FanDuel has two versions of their injury insurance, Bet Protect and Bet Protect+, which each offer different coverages.
| Injury Insurance | Qualifies If Player Exits Before Which Quarter | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| BetOnline PlayerProtect | Third Quarter | Free |
| FanDuel Bet Protect | First Quarter | Free |
| FanDuel Bet Protect+ | Anytime | 3% of stake fee |
FanDuel’s best version of injury insurance comes with a 3% fee based on a player’s wager amount in exchange for full game coverage. Meanwhile, BetOnline Sportsbook has players covered for the first half without any fees across all straight bets and parlays with NBA player props.
