FanDuel is rolling out a game-changing feature just in time for the high-stakes drama of the NBA Playoffs. The sportsbook has launched BetProtect+, offering full-game injury protection on eligible player prop bets for a small premium.

For a flat 3% fee added to your stake, this optional feature acts as a safety net. If a player you bet on leaves the game at any point due to injury, your wager gets a second chance. For a straight bet, you'll receive a refund. If the player was part of a parlay, that specific leg will be removed, and your potential payout will be recalculated without it.

This innovation arrives at the perfect moment. The NBA postseason is a grueling marathon where stars play heavier minutes, and the physical toll can lead to unexpected injuries that derail both team fortunes and bettors' slips. BetProtect+ aims to remove some of that unpredictable risk, allowing fans to back their favorite players with more confidence during the most critical games of the year.

To use it, simply toggle the BetProtect+ option on your bet slip before submitting any eligible pre-game player prop wager. It's a straightforward way to add a layer of security to your playoff betting strategy.
