+<br>As the sports betting landscape continues to become increasingly competitive amongst retailers, Fanatics Sportsbook is making a major play to entice NBA bettors.<br>
+<br>- Fanatics Sportsbook has expanded its [Fair Play](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) injury insurance policy to cover the first half of all [NBA regular-season](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) games.<br>
+<br>- Since its debut during the 2025 NBA Playoffs, Fair Play has [refunded](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) more than $17 million in wagers.<br>
+<br>- 1 in 5 new customers cite it as a reason for switching to Fanatics.<br>
+<br>Ahead of the NBA’s opening night tip-off Tuesday, Fanatics announced the expansion of its [Fair Play](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) injury [insurance policy](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) to cover the first half of NBA games. The policy had previously only covered the first quarter.<br>
+<br>"This update gives customers the most comprehensive bet protection in the sports betting industry," the Fanatics Sportsbook said in a release. "After debuting during the 2025 NBA playoffs, saving parlays impacted by player injuries, Fair Play has already refunded more than $17 million in wagers, with one in five new customers citing it as their reason for switching to Fanatics."<br>
+<br>The move will cover every NBA regular-season game during the 2025-26 season, which tipped off with the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder defeating the Houston Rockets, headlined by their new superstar and former Thunder forward Kevin Durant, in double overtime.<br>
+<br>Sportsbooks making a habit of customer-first decisions<br>
+<br>The move by Fanatics in an effort to  themselves from competitors is the latest in a slew of moves this year by sportsbooks as they move to encourage more regular bettors to move their [business](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) over.<br>
+<br>ESPN BET recently introduced a similar policy back in September for the NFL season, specifically [relating](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) to player props, while books like DraftKings and Fanatics gave customers millions in [refunds](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) just last week following a second-quarter injury to Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Emeka Egbuka.<br>
+<br>Fanatics, meanwhile, had already made the move to [cover first-half](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) games in the [postseason](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) back in April, but hadn’t officially made the call on doing so for the [regular](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) season. The [decision ultimately](https://hadln.net9443/melodyknutson4) led to the book returning more than $2 million by the end of the second round alone.<br>
