What are 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.
Rescue Eligibility
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.
Projections that are rescued for Streaks will automatically be refunded, and the Streak will be settled.
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.
