Will Lionel Messi bets be refunded after injury vs. Necaxa on Saturday 8/2/25?

It was a concerning start on Saturday for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. Just eleven minutes into their Leagues Cup game against Mexican club Nexaca, Messi went down with an injury and was forced to leave the game. Now bettors are wondering: will they receive cash credits after the Inter Miami star left the game so early?

Luckily for DraftKings bettors, this falls under the new DraftKings Early Exit Program. In select soccer matches, a player being removed in the first half due to injury can receive a cash credit on that bet. To learn more, here’s a quick look at how the program works.

If the bet you placed on this game falls under the category outlined in the article above, you’ll receive a cash credit. For single bets: If your bet qualifies for Early Exit, you’ll receive cash credits equal to the amount of your original stake.

For Parlays and Same Game Parlays: The remaining legs of your parlay will remain open, and the odds of your parlay will be recalculated excluding the leg the qualifies for Early Exit. For a detailed explanation of the cash credit process, refer to this article on DraftKings cash credits.
