Nicholas Bavas, the Iowa man suing DraftKings for canceling wagers he claims would have paid out US$14 million, has asked a judge to make a decision without it going to full trial.
The lawsuit, filed by Bavas in May, alleges that DraftKings canceled bets he had placed during the 2024 AT&T Pebble Pro-Am golf tournament. The event was canceled after only 54 holes, and final scores matched Bavas’ initial bets.
DraftKings canceled five of Bavas’ wagers, which his attorneys allege would have paid out up to US$14.2 million.
In August, DraftKings defended its decision to cancel the wagers, saying that they had acted properly and that Bavas “knowingly accepted the risk that circumstances may arise related to the odds associated with any wager.”
