Will Travis Kelce bets be refunded after injury during Chiefs vs. Falcons NFL Week 10?

Updated:

UPDATE: Travis Kelce returned to the game in the second quarter. If he does not exit before half again, his bets will not be refunded under DraftKings Early Exit promotion.


Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce suffered an ankle injury while being tackled in the first quarter against the Falcons. The team announced that he was questionable to return, and Kelce made his way to the locker room for additional evaluation and treatment.

Before exiting, Kelce caught his only target for 23 yards.


Will Travis Kelce bets be refunded?

Thankfully for eligible Kelce prop backers on DraftKings Sportsbook, because he left the game in the first half due to injury, if he doesn’t return, DraftKings’ Early Exit Protected rules apply to qualifying wagers.

Eligible single bets on Kelce will be voided, and the original stake will be returned. For qualifying parlays and Same Game Parlays, the Kelce selection will be voided, and the odds of the wager will be recalculated using the remaining legs.

Bets or selections that were already determined before Kelce’s injury may still be settled normally rather than receiving Early Exit protection.

DraftKings Early Exit FAQ

What is DraftKings Early Exit?

DraftKings Early Exit Protected is a free feature that automatically protects eligible NFL player prop bets during the first half. If an eligible player leaves during the first half because of an injury or officially confirmed illness and does not return, the qualifying selection is settled as void.

Which NFL bets are eligible for Early Exit?

Early Exit applies to eligible full-game NFL player props placed before the game, along with select eligible live bets. Qualifying wagers can include single bets, parlays and Same Game Parlays. In parlays, an eligible Early Exit selection is voided and the wager is recalculated using the remaining legs.

Is there a way to get injury protection on bets for the whole game?

Yes. DraftKings Early Exit+ is an optional feature that extends Early Exit protection into the second half of an NFL game for a fee equal to 3% of the wager amount. The fee is separate from the wager and is not refunded. You can upgrade to full-game protection without leaving your bet slip.
