Fanatics Sportsbook Refunded More Than $17 Million To Bettors

In a new advertisement, the sportsbook highlighted its industry-leading Fair Play policy alongside an iconic commercial figure.

Throughout the 2025-26 NFL season, Fanatics Sportsbook refunded customers a whopping $17 million through Fair Play refunds.

In early January 2026, Fanatics teamed up with the legendary voice of Allstate, Dennis Haysbert, to launch its latest advertisement for the company’s leading Fair Play policy.

For those unfamiliar, Fanatics’ Fair Play policy is an injury-protection program that safeguards bettors when a player in their prop wager leaves a game early due to injury.

“If a player unexpectedly exits a game early, Fanatics Sportsbook pays out the Under as a winner and refunds any Over single player prop bets,” a statement from the company read, according to an earlier report from The Blast. “If the player is part of a customer’s parlay, Fanatics Sportsbook will click the Under as a winner and void the parlay leg for any Overs and keep the parlay active with recalculated odds.”

According to a 2026 press release sent to The Blast, Fanatics’ Fair Play policy has offered NFL bettors season-saving protection all season long, refunding single-player prop bets when a player was injured in the first half and preserving parlays by voiding affected legs and recalculating odds.

This season, 149 moments were saved by Fanatics’ Fair Play policy. Additionally, over $17 million was returned directly to customers through Fair Play refunds, and more than $13 million was paid in second-quarter protection.

This isn’t the first time Fanatics has made headlines over its generous Fair Play policy. In May 2025, the sportsbook refunded more than $500,000 to consumers after Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry unexpectedly left a playoff game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The policy also turned one lucky bettor’s $5,000 wager into a $224,773 win after Curry’s player prop was voided. The parlay also consisted of soccer props and the Warriors’ moneyline. The revised odds were +9240, making it the largest ever saved bet at the time.

Before that, Fanatics wowed bettors after paying out more than $250,000 in bets when Kristaps Porzingis left a contest due to injury. The Fair Play Policy voided the baller’s props, turning a five-leg parlay (+2375 odds) into a $24,000 winning ticket.

Fanatics has joined forces with major celebrities in the past, including rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion, actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Livvy Dunne.

Another report from The Blast also details the company’s previous collaboration with former NFL star Johnny Manziel, who champions the sportsbook on episodes of his “Glory Daze” podcast.

“On ‘Glory Daze,’ Manziel, a former first-round pick, sits down to have authentic conversations with some of the most iconic and legendary names in sports as they share never-before-heard stories, discuss their career-defining moments, and much more,” a report said.

During certain parts of the episodes, Manziel took his love for Fanatics to another level, transforming into “Johnny FanCash”—the Heisman winner’s alter ego dedicated to gassing up the one-of-a-kind sportsbook.
