What does “Draw No Bet” mean?
“Draw No Bet” (DNB) is a common betting market in football and other sports where a draw outcome results in the stake being refunded. In practical terms:
- If your chosen team wins, your bet wins.
- If the match ends in a draw, your stake is returned (no win, no loss).
- If your chosen team loses, your bet loses.
How odds differ from a simple match bet
Because the draw outcome is removed as a losing result, DNB odds are typically lower than the straight “1X2” market odds for a team to win. You are paying for the extra safety of getting your stake back in case of a draw.
Example
Suppose Team A vs Team B:
- You bet $100 on Team A DNB.
- If Team A wins, you collect winnings at the DNB odds.
- If the match draws, you get your $100 stake refunded.
- If Team A loses, you lose your $100 stake.
How this applies on betting sites like Rabbit Win Casino

On platforms offering the Draw No Bet market, the process is usually automated: when a match ends in a draw, your stake is returned to your account balance. It’s important to check the specific rules on the site as there can be variations:
- Refund processing time, some sites refund instantly, others may take a short time.
- Extra time and penalties — most DNB markets apply only to regular time (90 minutes plus stoppage) unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Partial voids — for bets with multiple legs, a single-leg draw might void that leg only; check accumulation/ticket rules.
When to use Draw No Bet
Consider DNB when you want a safer option than a straight win bet but still want exposure to a single team’s victory. It’s useful:
- When two teams are evenly matched and a draw is likely.
- When you prefer to minimize risk in knockout or crucial league matches.
