The ruling removes a legal overhang that could have set precedent for voided-bet disputes in other states. Monitor for any appeal by plaintiff (unlikely given the clear statutory interpretation) and for similar pending cases in other jurisdictions.

Executive Summary
DraftKings won summary judgment in a class-action breach-of-contract lawsuit over voided parlay bets. The court held that Indiana's sports-wagering statute does not require cancellation of obviously erroneous bets before the contest ends, so DraftKings' next-day void was lawful. The case is effectively over with no damages awarded, removing a litigation overhang.
Court Ruling Details
Key Facts
- DraftKings granted summary judgment; plaintiff's motion denied.
- Court ruled Indiana Code §4-38-5-6 does not require obvious-error cancellation before contest ends.
- Class had been certified for Indiana bettors; now case is dismissed with final judgment to follow.
- No damages awarded; no injunction issued.
- Plaintiff conceded the bet involved obvious error; only dispute was timing of cancellation.
Financial Impact
No damages awarded. The class action sought up to $150,000 per winning parlay leg, but the ruling eliminates all liability. Total potential exposure was undisclosed but likely immaterial relative to DraftKings' market cap.
Risk Factors
- Plaintiff may appeal to the Seventh Circuit, though the court's reasoning is strong and the concession of obvious error limits appellate prospects.
- Other states' sports-wagering statutes may have different timing requirements for voiding bets, creating potential exposure in non-Indiana cases.
