Fanatics Refunds Over $500K After Steph Curry Injury

Fanatics Sportsbook continues to set itself apart by leaning into its customer-first refund approach, especially during unpredictable player exits. The company’s Fair Play Policy once again made headlines following an NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves, when Steph Curry left in the first half due to injury. While other platforms might hold onto bets in injury situations, Fanatics offers users a second chance when unpredictable events affect fairness.

Good to know

• Fanatics has refunded over $8 million to users under its Fair Play Policy since the football season began.
• More than $2 million in refunds came from NBA playoff games alone.
• One bettor won $224,000 after Curry’s injury voided a leg of a four-leg parlay.

After Curry exited early, Fanatics triggered the Fair Play clause, which led to over $500,000 being refunded to affected users. This policy has become a core part of the Fanatics Sportsbook experience, especially for bettors concerned about injuries affecting player performance.

Here is how it works: if an NBA player gets injured and exits in the first half, any Over bets on that player’s performance are refunded. Under bets are treated as wins. If the player is part of a multi-leg parlay, the Over leg is voided and the remaining legs continue with adjusted odds.

One Michigan bettor felt the impact in a big way. A $5,000 four-leg parlay that included Curry ended up paying $224,000 after the basketball leg was voided and the remaining three legs held up. The revised odds hit +9240—making it the largest Fair Play payout in Fanatics’ history.

CEO Michael Rubin has long emphasized transparency and customer loyalty in Fanatics’ sports betting approach. The Fair Play Policy, active since the start of the football season, has led to more than $8 million in refunds across various sports. According to the company, NBA playoffs alone triggered over $2 million in refunds.
