Receive FREE Fantasy Sports Insurance

[Greg Ambrosius]

Remember that you are able to receive FREE insurance on one top 100 player for any Main Event, Primetime or Auction Championship team if you pay by check or money order. This is important to know because we will begin running charges on current signups starting on Monday, Feb. 17th.

Last year, NFBC owners received more than $12,000 in insurance paybacks for players who missed 60+ games to injury. Here's how the program works, so check it out:

Fantasy Sports Insurance

A Fantasy Sports Insurance policy for one player is available FREE to each team owner who pays by check for the NFBC Main Event, the NFBC Auction Championship and the NFBC Primetime Championship provided that your payment is received by the due date. This insurance policy is courtesy of the NFBC and FantasySportsInsurance.com.

Here's how Fantasy Sports Insurance (FSI) works:

Designate one player who is on your team and on the Top 100 list provided by FantasySportsInsurance.com for your insurance policy. If that player spends at least 60 days on the disabled list due to an injury in 2014, you will receive payment from FantasySportsInsurance.com for:
League Insurance Amount
NFBC Main Event $320
NFBC Primetime $300
NFBC Auction Championship $240

Last year when this offer was in place for the NFBC, team owners were able to cash in their insurance policies for the following players:

Matt Kemp
Jose Reyes
Roy Halladay
Johnny Cueto
Josh Johnson
Jason Motte

After you have selected the player who you want to insure, FSI will send out a Certificate of Insurance with details of the insurance policy and the associated coverage. Claims will be paid within 30 days of the end of the MLB regular season.

"We are excited to have the opportunity to work alongside NFBC to offer Fantasy Sports Insurance (FSI) for the 2014 MLB fantasy season," said Henry Olszewski, sales, executive at Fantasy Sports Insurance. "Offering FSI to NFBC participants is a fantastic opportunity for us to provide financial peace of mind against that unforeseen, season changing injury. Lessen the blow of losing your key player. Plan...Protect...Play"

NFBC team owners also will have the opportunity to purchase additional insurance for their teams' players through FantasySportsInsurance.com if they draft more than just one injury-riddled player. For those owners, there is a policy for two players who spend a total of 90 days on the DL list and even a policy for three players who spend a total of 115 days on the DL.

All signups after Feb. 17th will have payments run as leagues fill. The Main Event and Primetime signups after Feb. 17th run as they come in. Thanks all and good luck. This is a good program for everyone and sometimes it eases the sting of your superstar going down to injury.
