Rescues

If a player plays in the first half of a game but does not return in the second half for any reason (such as injury, ejection, or rest), your entry may qualify for a refund through our Rescue policy. In that case, you'll also receive a Gimme Pick, which will appear in your lobby the following day. This policy only applies if you selected the Higher option on that player’s selection.

Note: This applies per entry, not per rescued player — if an entry has multiple rescued selections and the entry qualifies for a refund, you still receive only one Gimme Pick for that entry.

Entries must be valid to be rescued. Rescue refunds will not go into effect if any other selection(s) in your Standard entry are graded as a loss (assuming it is a valid entry). All entries impacted this way will be refunded, but only one special will be available per uniquely impacted player.

Rescues also apply to Flex entries that contain at least one losing selection and would not otherwise be graded as a win. For example, if you have a Pick-5 entry with three winning picks, one losing pick, and one player who’s Rescued because they didn’t return in the second half of their game, your entry will be refunded.

For the first two picks of your streak, if one is rescued, the other pick must be graded as a win, tie, void, or rescue. If the other pick is graded as a loss, the Streak is not eligible for a refund through Rescues.

For Streak picks 3-11, if a pick is rescued, the Streak is refunded.

Partial game picks (1Q, 2Q, 3Q, 4Q, 1H, 2H) are not eligible for Rescue.

Rescues can only be applied to Fantasy entries, Prediction Player Picks, and the Fantasy portion of a Combo Entry. Injury protection is not available for drafts.

Rescue refunds do not apply to Keep Your Million or bonus entries. As bonus entries are considered free entries, there will not be a refund, or Gimme Pick sent out if the Rescued projection is the only loss. However, it's important to note that rescues do apply to entries paid with bonus funds.

NFL Preseason, NBA Preseason, NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, and BASKETBALL (including NBA Summer League) picks are not eligible for Rescue.

Entries are not eligible in states where Pick'em is free to play.

If the player's Higher selection had already won before they left the game — for example, an Anytime TD "Higher" pick where the touchdown was already scored — the pick grades as a win, regardless of Rescue eligibility.

Please allow up to 30 minutes after the game for a player to be Rescued.
