Draw No Bet (DNB) is a sports-betting market, not a casino game. It lets you back one of two teams or players while removing the draw as a losing outcome. If the event ends level, your stake is returned. At Guts Casino, New Zealand players should check whether this market is available in the sportsbook section and read the specific event’s rules before placing a bet. Availability, odds, and settlement terms can change.
This guide explains how DNB works, how to calculate a possible return, and what to check before using the market. It also clarifies how sports betting differs from casino games, so you can find the right section of Guts for the activity you want.

What does Draw No Bet mean?
In a standard three-way match-winner market, you choose between Team A, a draw, or Team B. A DNB bet removes the draw selection. You back either Team A or Team B, and the stake is refunded if the match finishes level. If your selection wins, the bet pays at the listed odds; if it loses, you lose your stake.
For example, suppose you back Team A at decimal odds of 1.80 with a NZ$10 stake:
- Team A wins: your total return is NZ$18, including your original NZ$10 stake.
- The match is drawn: the bet is void and your NZ$10 stake is returned.
- Team A loses: you lose the NZ$10 stake.
These figures are illustrative, not a prediction or an offer. The odds available on Guts may differ, and the return shown on a bet slip is the one to check before confirming.
How DNB differs from a regular match-winner bet
The central difference is what happens when the score is level. In a three-way market, a draw selection can win, while backing either team loses if the match is drawn. With DNB, a draw usually means the bet is settled as void and the stake is returned.
That protection comes with a trade-off: DNB odds are generally lower than the equivalent odds for backing a team in a market where a draw counts as a loss. The precise difference depends on the teams, competition, and bookmaker’s pricing. DNB does not make a bet risk-free, because your selection can still lose.
How to place a Draw No Bet wager
- Sign in to your Guts account and open the sportsbook, if sports betting is available to you.
- Choose a sport and event, then look for a market labelled “Draw No Bet” or “DNB.”
- Select the team or competitor you want to back.
- Review the odds, stake, and potential return on the bet slip.
- Check the event rules and confirm that you understand how extra time, abandoned play, or other unusual outcomes are handled.
- Place the wager only if the market and terms match your intention.
The precise menu names and available markets can vary by event and by account. If you cannot find DNB, do not assume that a similarly named handicap or “draw refund” market has identical rules. Consult the market information or contact support for clarification.
Settlement details to check
“Draw No Bet” describes the basic settlement, but event rules still matter. In football, for example, a market may be settled on the score at the end of normal time, excluding extra time and penalties, unless the market says otherwise. Other sports have their own definitions of a tie, completion, or abandonment.
Before betting, check whether the selection applies to the full event or a particular period, and whether the result includes extra time. Also look for rules covering postponed or abandoned events, participant withdrawals, and any special competition format. If the event is part of a tournament with knockout rounds, do not assume the match-winner market and DNB market use the same settlement period.
Examples: reading the odds and outcomes
Imagine a football match between Harbour FC and Ridge United. You choose Harbour FC Draw No Bet at odds of 2.10 and stake NZ$5.
- If Harbour FC wins, the total return is NZ$10.50: NZ$5 stake multiplied by 2.10.
- If the match is a draw under the market’s settlement rules, your stake is returned.
- If Ridge United wins, the stake is lost.
The refund applies only to a draw as defined by the market. It does not guarantee that you will receive a refund if the event is abandoned, postponed, or otherwise disrupted; those cases are governed by the bookmaker’s event rules.
New Zealand player considerations
Players in New Zealand should confirm that the service is available to them and review the operator’s current terms, age requirements, and account restrictions. Gambling products and access conditions can change, so use the information displayed on the site rather than relying on old promotions or third-party listings.
Set a spending limit before betting, and treat any stake as money you could lose. DNB reduces one specific risk—the possibility of losing a team bet solely because the match is drawn—but it does not improve the underlying team’s performance or remove the chance of a loss. Avoid chasing losses, and take a break if betting stops being enjoyable.
Choosing a market responsibly
DNB may suit someone who expects one side to have an advantage but considers a draw a meaningful possibility. It is not automatically the best choice. Compare the DNB price with the three-way match-winner odds and think about whether the lower price is worth the draw refund to you. Do not select a market simply because its name sounds safer.
Before depositing or placing a wager, check the minimum and maximum stakes, payment conditions, withdrawal requirements, and any applicable bonus terms. Promotional funds may have restrictions and may not be eligible for every market. If the terms are unclear, ask support before opting in.
Sportsbook betting versus casino games
Guts may present sports betting and casino products on the same platform, but they work differently. A DNB wager depends on the outcome of a sporting event and the market’s settlement rules. Slots, table games, and live casino games use their own rules and odds, and none of them uses a Draw No Bet settlement simply because a sports market does.
If you came to Guts looking for casino games, open the casino section and review each game’s rules, minimum stakes, and payout information. If your interest is DNB, look in the sportsbook instead. Keeping the two activities separate makes it easier to understand what you are betting on and how a result will be settled.
Finding the right Guts page
Use the NZ Guts Casino Path to navigate carefully: start from the official Guts website available to you, choose the sportsbook for a DNB market, and verify the event rules and odds on the bet slip. For slots or other casino products, use the casino lobby instead. Always confirm you are on the genuine site and that the product is accessible under the current terms.
In short, Draw No Bet means that a drawn event normally results in the return of your stake, while a win pays according to the odds and a loss costs the stake. It is a two-outcome team-selection market with a draw refund—not a guarantee of profit. Check the exact rules, compare the price, and wager only within limits you can afford.
