Understanding how payouts are calculated is important for every Dabble user. Adjustments can happen for a few reasons - a player being voided, a pick pushing, or special conditions like correlated projections within an entry.
Below, we'll walk through how payout calculation works, the rules for different situations, and FAQs on reduced payouts.
Refer to our Game Rules page here for the list of all specific game rules.
General rules for payout adjustments
Dabble follows its General Game Rules and Terms & Conditions for every payout. A few key points:
Voided Players: If a player in your entry is voided (withdraws before or doesn’t actively participate in a match), that pick is removed and the payout is recalculated based on the remaining valid selections. For example, a 12-pick entry with 2 voided players becomes a 10-pick entry.
Pushes: In cases of a push or tie (e.g., a player exactly matches their projected stat line), that pick is treated as active but non-contributory, maintaining the entry but reducing the number of active legs.
Refunds for Voided Entries: If a voided or reduced entry cannot meet the two-leg minimum of players, the entry is refunded. For instance, a 3-pick entry voided down to 1 player will not payout and will instead be refunded.
Impact of entry type: All-In vs. Hedge
All-In Entries
All-In entries require every pick to hit for a payout. Missing or voiding even one pick has a significant impact:
Void Adjustments: If one or more picks are voided in an All-In entry, the payout scale is reduced to the new number of legs. For example, a 10-pick entry reduced to 9 legs will align with the 9-leg multiplier.
No Payout for Errors: If even 1 player loses their projection, no payout will be provided, irrespective of how many additional legs were marked as a winner

Hedged Entry
Hedge entries offer lower payout multipliers than All-In, but you can still win even if one or two picks are incorrect.
Void Adjustments: If one or more picks are voided in a Hedged entry, the payout scale is reduced to the new number of legs, the same as for an All-In Entry. For example, a 10-pick entry reduced to 9 legs will align with the 9-leg multiplier.
Hedge game pay scale
2 pick hedge Lineups are not available.
