How Do Rescue Refunds Work?
Updated over 2 months ago

If your entry lost because one of your picks went down early with an injury, we have your back! With Boom’s Rescue refund, any entry that lost because of a Rescue pick can be redeemed up to 5x the initial entry fee in bonus funds. For example, a $10, 8 pick entry loses because of an Over pick. Such as C.McCaffrey rushing yards losing because he got hurt in the 1st quarter and didn't return which means the pick was unable to achieve the Over. For this, you'd get back $50 (5x your entry fee) in bonus funds!

Which entry types fall under the policy?

All Pick’em entries with 3+ picks will be evaluated for a Rescue refund. This includes Regular and Coverage entries. Pick & Spin and Squad Ride entries aren’t eligible for a Rescue refund.

Here is how it works:

  • 3 picks = 2x

  • 4-5 picks = 3x

  • 6+ picks = 5x

If a Coverage entry received a payout and did not lose after a Rescued pick then it does not qualify for a refund.

  • For example, a 4 pick Coverage entry whose 1 incorrect pick was a Rescue will not be refunded and will be played for the remaining multiplier on the entry.

In the event a pick other than the rescue is tied or canceled, the refund will be evaluated based on the remaining correct and incorrect selections. For example, with 1 cancelation or tie:

  • 3 pick entry regresses to 2 pick = No refund

  • And 4 pick entry regresses to 3 pick = 2x rescue refund

If the entire entry was canceled then it is not eligible for a Rescue Refund.
