Kansas City Royals 2025 MLB Betting Lines
So far in 2025, the Kansas City Royals are in danger of losing much of the goodwill that they earned last year by making the ALDS. Kansas City was touted as a team on the come for 2025, but at the midway point of the season, it is not turning out that way. The 2024 campaign ended eight years of misery for gamblers and the Kansas City Royals. Following a 56-106 campaign in 2023, the Royals unexpectedly made the American League playoffs. Since winning the 2015 World Series, the Kansas City Royals did not have a winning season until last year. KC has spent the past few years in a painful rebuild. Of course, Kansas City is still rebuilding, and it shows. However, at the same time, ownership is making a greater effort to invest in its talent and resources. This year, Kansas City was more popular on the futures market, but the Royals are failing to meet the higher expectations and the full attention of their opponents.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
