Caesars Sportsbook has introduced automatic Injury Protection for qualifying player props and launched a free-to-play football game with a shared $50,000 weekly Bonus Bet prize.
Michigan customers can access the additions through the Caesars Sportsbook app. The operator is also promoting Flex Parlays, which can produce a payout when one or two selections lose.
Caesars announced the features in a Sept. 9 release introducing its “Had Some Work Done” advertising campaign featuring former NFL linebacker Clay Matthews.
The campaign focuses on changes made to the sportsbook app following several years of product and technology investments. The spots will run nationally across television, digital and social media channels throughout football season.
Injury Protection applies automatically to eligible props
Injury Protection is included at no additional cost with qualifying player prop wagers. Bettors do not need to activate it separately, although the feature must appear as available for the selected market before the wager is submitted.
If a covered player is injured and ruled out within the applicable period, Caesars may refund the stake on an eligible straight prop bet. Wagers that do not satisfy the requirements will be settled under the sportsbook’s standard rules.
The treatment differs when the affected prop is included in a parlay. Caesars may remove that selection and recalculate the wager using the remaining legs, which must still produce the required results for the adjusted ticket to pay out.
Coverage does not apply to every injury or player prop. Eligible markets and injury periods may vary by sport, so Michigan bettors should confirm that Injury Protection appears in the bet slip before placing a wager.
Squad Builder runs through February
Squad Builder is available to eligible Caesars Sportsbook customers in Michigan. The promotion began Sept. 8 and runs through Feb. 14, covering 22 weekly periods.
Participants open packs from Tuesday through Sunday to reveal seven assigned NFL players and their corresponding props. Users receive one reveal per day except Thursday, when two are available.
A completed squad contains one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end and, one flex player. Running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends are eligible to fill the flex position.
Missing a daily reveal prevents a participant from completing a seven-player squad or qualifying for that week’s grand prize. However, users can continue opening packs on the remaining days and may still qualify for mystery rewards.
Three, four, five, or six successful props can unlock mystery rewards, including bonus bets and profit boosts. Caesars announces the required threshold before each weekly period, and the available reward may vary by participant.
If all seven assigned props hit, the participant qualifies for an equal share of the weekly $50,000 prize, which is paid in bonus bets. If nobody completes a successful squad, the prize is not awarded or carried over to the next week.
No purchase or real-money wager is required to participate. Rewards are generally credited the following Tuesday and expire after seven days unless otherwise stated. The original value of a winning bonus bet is not included in the payout.
Flex Parlays allow missed selections
Caesars is also promoting Flex Parlays as part of its football offering. The feature gives bettors an opportunity to receive a payout when one or two selections in an eligible multi-leg wager lose.
After a customer adds enough eligible selections, the Flex Parlay option appears in the bet slip. Bettors must activate the feature before placing the wager. If the option does not appear, that combination of markets does not qualify.
Activating Flex Parlay adjusts the odds and displays the possible payout for each qualifying outcome. Customers can review how many selections must win and the corresponding returns before submitting the wager.
Eligible Flex Parlays can also be placed using bonus bets and Caesars Reward Credits.
