Fanatics Refunds $1.5 Million After Emeka Egbuka’s Second-Quarter Injury Under Fair Play

The sportsbook’s injury-protection policy now covers the full first half, voiding affected prop legs across straight bets and parlays.

Overview

  • Fanatics activated its Fair Play policy when Tampa Bay rookie Emeka Egbuka left Sunday’s game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury, triggering refunds on affected player props.
  • Refunds totaled $1.5 million across pre-game and in-game wagers, which multiple reports describe as the program’s largest single-event payout to date.
  • One highlighted example saw a six-leg parlay convert to a $27,000 win after the Egbuka leg was voided and the remaining legs hit.
  • Fair Play applies through the first half and spans straight bets, parlays, and SGPs, with earlier company updates noting cross-sport coverage and more than $6 million in cumulative payouts before this event.
  • The Egbuka activation followed other first-half injury voids reported that day, and arrives as rival books roll out similar protections, with DraftKings citing nearly $10 million in recent Early Exit refunds.
