Sports Gambling Companies Set Rules For COVID Cancellations

Statewide Iowa — The college and pro football seasons are expected to feature a full schedule this season — but some games could be canceled if there is a COVID-19 outbreak.

What happens if you bet on a game that gets canceled? Iowa Racing and Gaming Administrator, Brian Ohorilko, says sports gambling operators have house rules that deal with that possibility.

He says the sportsbooks updated the rules as the details came out about how the NFL and conferences would handle COVID.

Ohorilkoh says you should read over the house rules before making a bet this season.

Ohorilko says it likely won’t be a problem.

Ohorilko says the Racing and Gaming Commission will keep an eye on the situation throughout the season.

He says the sportsbook operators are looking forward to having a full college and pro football season after seeing so many games canceled by the pandemic in 2020.
