What is “Draw No Bet”?
“Draw No Bet” (DNB) is a simple football (soccer) market where the bookmaker removes the draw outcome from the possible results. You back one team to win; if your chosen team wins, your bet wins. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is returned (a push). If your team loses, your bet loses.
Key points
- Two possible outcomes for your stake: win or push (no loss if draw).
- Odds for DNB are typically lower than standard 1X2 win odds because the draw outcome is removed.
- Used primarily in football but offered for other sports where a draw is possible.
How Draw No Bet Works on i Wild Casino (UK)
In the UK, licensed operators like i Wild Casino will clearly label the market as “Draw No Bet” or using the abbreviation “DNB.” When placing a DNB wager on i Wild Casino:
- Select the match and choose the Draw No Bet market for either Team A or Team B.
- The stake you place is at risk only if the team you backed loses.
- If the match is a draw, i Wild Casino refunds your stake to your account balance as per standard push rules.
Example
Suppose you bet £10 DNB on Team A at odds of 1.80. Possible outcomes:
- Team A wins: you receive £18 (your £10 stake returned + £8 profit).
- Match draws: you get your £10 stake refunded.
- Team A loses: your £10 stake is lost.
Why UK bettors choose Draw No Bet
- Lower variance than backing a team to win outright, because a draw leads to a refund.
- Useful in close matches or when one team is slightly favored but an upset/draw is possible.
- Commonly used in combination bets where removing the draw risk makes accumulators more attractive.
Market variations and considerations
Some important points to consider when using DNB on i Wild Casino:
- Extra time and penalties: Check whether the DNB market applies only to 90 minutes (normal time) or includes extra time/penalties — most UK bookmakers settle on 90 minutes.
- Cashout and partial cashout: i Wild Casino may offer cashout options before full-time, which can affect your potential return.
- Promotions and terms: Always read the specific terms for promotions, as free bets or bonuses may have unique settlement rules.
Practical tips for UK players using Draw No Bet
- Compare DNB odds across bookmakers — DNB odds vary and small differences compound across bets.
- For accumulators, DNB can be a safer way to include marginal matches; however, odds will be lower.
- Always confirm the market settlement rules (90 minutes vs. full-time) in the product description on i Wild Casino.
Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be undertaken responsibly. Set limits, do not chase losses, and use the self-exclusion and support tools available on i Wild Casino if you need them. UK bettors can also access support through organisations such as GamCare and GambleAware.
Draw No Bet is a straightforward market that reduces risk by refunding stakes on a draw. For UK bettors using i Wild Casino, understanding the settlement rules and comparing odds will help you use DNB effectively in your betting strategy.
