Fanatics Sports & Casino is enhancing its football offerings this season with new features, including injury protection, player-betting options, and promotions. The loyalty program, FanCash, is being positioned as a unique feature that sets Fanatics apart from other sportsbooks and prediction markets.
With FanCash, customers can earn rewards on every bet, trade, or play, regardless of the outcome, and can redeem these rewards across more than 20 options within the Fanatics platform. FanCash is also available for prediction-market trades on Fanatics Sports & Casino.
Fanatics Betting and Gaming introduced its Fair Play player injury protection program in 2024 after identifying injuries as a major frustration for sports bettors. Since September 2024, the program has saved over half a million bets, including nearly 200,000 professional football bets from last season.
This season, Fair Play will be upgraded to Fair Play Max, offering three levels of protection. The First Half Injury Protection will cover professional football player prop bets at no extra cost.
A new Forward Progress Protection feature has been added to safeguard qualifying player-prop over wagers after they exceed the over line from negative-yardage plays, such as quarterback kneel-downs and rushes for negative yards. Last season, there were 115 instances where negative yardage affected an over wager.
Customers can also use a Fair Play Max Gameday Token to secure Second Half Injury Protection on one eligible player-prop wager each day, with the protection offered in FanCash.
Fanatics will introduce Squad Bets, allowing customers to select two to eight professional football players and set a combined statistical line. The product will offer live tracking and cash-out, with Fair Play Max also available for Squad Bets.
The sportsbook is running a variety of football promotions, including a 100% profit boost on NFL game days during Week 1, a new-customer offer of a $20 bet for $350 in FanCash plus up to $1,000 in matched FanCash, and a weekly Triple Touchdown Jackpot offering a share of up to $250,000 in FanCash.
Fanatics has developed proprietary pricing models for NFL touchdown-scorer props and season futures, enabling quick responses to injury news and roster changes.
The company will also feature sports content from figures like Caleb Pressley and Jordan Schultz. A new short-form social series, “Where Are They Now,” co-developed with Pressley, will premiere on Sept. 10.
