What are Progressive Parlays?
Progressive Parlays are similar to traditional parlays where you choose multiple selections for a single wager. However, Progressive Parlays provide a margin of error, as a Progressive Parlay can still pay out in the event a selection(s) within the Progressive Parlay settle as a loss.
Please note, at this time Progressive Parlays are not available in Arizona or Pennsylvania.
How do Progressive Parlays work?
The number of selections within a Progressive Parlay that can settle as a loss and still result in a payout is dependent on the total number of selections in the Progressive Parlay.
Similarly, the potential returns for a Progressive Parlay are dependent on the number of selections in the wager. The greater the number of selections included in a Progressive Parlay, the greater the potential returns and the greater number of losing selections allowed.

What if one of my selections in a Progressive Parlay settles as a push or does not play?
A selection that is settled as a push is considered a losing selection in a Progressive Parlay.
For selections where a player does not participate in an event, the individual leg will be settled as void and excluded from the Progressive parlay. This will result in the Progressive Parlay being recalculated to reflect the remaining selections.
Examples for when selections are voided in a Progressive Parlay:
- In the event a Progressive Parlay is placed with four (4) selections, if one (1) of the selections was voided, and the Progressive Parlay contains no losing or additional pushed selections, the wager would become a three (3) selection Progressive Parlay.
- In the event that the number of voided selections results in there being no more than two (2) remaining selections in the Progressive Parlay, and there is no more than one (1) selection settled as lost or a push, then the whole Progressive Parlay will be settled as void.
