Will Saquon Barkley bets be refunded after injury during Eagles vs. Rams NFL Week 4?

Updated:

By: Dan Johnson

UPDATE: Saquon Barkley (hamstring) will not return to the game. DraftKings Early Exit protections are in effect.


At the end of a carry for about five yards, Saquon Barkley pulled up lame after eluding Rams’ defenders along the sideline, and limped off the field into the medical tent.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dallas Goedert (knee) entered the afternoon inactive, while Lane Johnson’s absence for personal reasons further depleted an offensive line also missing backup tackle Fred Johnson. Losing Barkley, even briefly, asks Hurts to sustain an offense with precious few familiar options.

Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley round out Philadelphia’s backfield and would absorb the available work if Barkley cannot return.

Will Saquon Barkley bets be refunded?

Thankfully for eligible Barkley prop backers on DraftKings Sportsbook, because he left the game in the first half due to injury, DraftKings’ Early Exit Protected rules would apply to qualifying wagers.

Eligible single bets on Barkley will be settled as void, with the original stake returned. For qualifying parlays and Same Game Parlays, the Sampson 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 Barkley’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.
