      I created a sports book account, but I have never deposited money or made a wager with this company. After creating account I did not feel comfortable wagering money with them and did not deposit. I asked customer service to delete info and they said the disabled account and it was same as deletion. Then I find out the next week they did not. I recontacted customer service and they said it was impossible to delete but would not say why. I dont trust my PII with this shady business. All I want is my information removed from their servers before they get hacked or sell it off.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      This only provides vague, generalized and inaccurate information.  There was no suspicious deposit transaction activity because there was no deposit transactions. There is also no legitimate business reason for maintaining any of my Personal Information because there was no business between me and this company.  I clicked a referral link and made and account but never made any deposits or other activity. I was never informed of any suspicious activity, only inactivity.  The company response also does not state a specific period of time they plan on keeping my information. Please provide what legitimate business reason you have for keeping my personal information and a timeline for deleting and de-identifying. Why cant this business provide specific answers to any questions? I do not want my info stored, sold to third parties, or compromised. There was no business transaction, no suspicious activity, and no legitimate business reason for maintaining it.  The only suspicious activity I was told of was inactivity because I did not make a deposit.

      [Your Answer Here]

      FanDuel did not answer any of my questions about what suspicious activity was happening and/or what business transaction took place between me and them that requires them to maintain my personal information indefinitely. I use indefinitely because they have not provided a timeline for the removal of my personal information. They may consider this resolved yet I do not because they havent given my any valid reason to maintain my personal information or how long they intend to keep it.

      I created an account through the ********************** app, transferred money, and placed one bet on the ******************** to win the *** The next day I received an email saying my account was suspended. I used chat service to talk to a representative and they unhelpfully said they couldn't resolve anything and I'd have to wait for an email from "accounts". "Accounts" sent an email several days later asking me to upload documents proving my identity. (Don't know why I couldn't do that from the start). I uploaded the documents but have since gotten nowhere in my attempts to login to my account. Every few days I receive the same email telling me to upload the same documents. I've done it twice. The chat service ends my chats when I attempt to talk to a live representative. My emails to the company are answered days later with the response "we've closed the case you opened with our support team" with nothing resolved. It's almost as if I'm on some sort of internal block list. My bet is no longer valid because I've been denied the opportunity to "cash out". The issue has been going on over 10 days and I can't get anyone at the company to respond to emails, phone calls (their number is disconnected) or the online chats. This is a simple issue that's turned into a circus. You'd think they'd want to resolve this so I could spend more money? At this point I can only conclude this is a predatory business that takes people's money, especially after reading all the BBB comments and complaints. I want my money back.

      The next day, October 13th at 7:43 am, **************** contacted FanDuels **************** team regarding the suspension and was escalated to the Accounts Security Team for further assistance. Due to the nature of the suspension, **************** is required to supply a series of verification documents to verify both his identity and previous activity.

      Our team contacted **************** via email on October 14th and requested these documents. **************** responded that day with the requested information.

      After our team reviewed the information submitted by **************** there was a follow email sent to him with additional questions on October 19th. **************** responded that day with the additional information. On October 20th our team sent another email asking **************** for insight on specific account activity that seemed concerning and he responded promptly with an explanation.

      After a thorough review of the given material, ****************** account was reinstated on October 20th. We informed **************** that our system detected a higher-than-normal amount of declined deposit attempts on his account within 24 hours and out of precaution his account was suspended to ensure that the deposits were not being attempted by an unauthorized party. 


      We understand how easy it is for these types of things to happen without realizing it, so we wanted to educate **************** on the matter and ensure the safety of his account.


      **************** has since regained access to his account, therefore, ******************** would consider this matter resolved.

      I have been contacting fanduel since December 2021. They allowed someone to use my social security number for a sports betting account. Which you have to pay taxes on. I have gave them all the information needed to suspend the account using my social security number. They have yet to resolve this issue. I will be the one held responsible for paying taxes on any bets and money the fraudulent account is using.

      On Tuesday October 10th, 2023, I found out my FanDuel account was compromised and my bank account information stolen and my account was negative after 5 FanDuel withdrawals. FanDuel locked my account and I made a complaint. I had to cancel my bank account and possibly will have to cancel my credit card as well. FanDuel chat told me there was nothing they can do for me and I need to wait for an email from customer support. I got the email and replied and attempted to start uploading the docs they requested and the system had an error. I emailed them to let them know I could no longer upload the docs they requested. I have been waiting for over 4 days with no response and no details about the theft of my financial and personal information. They have no fraud department to contact and I am beginning to think they have no customer support at all and just send out form emails with no actual support at all. I would really like to find out the extent of the fraud and I don't know what to do. I have had financial losses as a result of the fraud and FanDuel has locked me out of my own account and is keeping my money as well. I am desperate for help and would appreciate you contacting FanDuel for me to get some resolution to the fraud.

      On October 10th, 2023, at 4:32 pm, *** **** contacted our customer support team via chat to advise his account had been compromised and funds were being taken out of his account for ******************** sports book and casino.

      Our team immediately escalated his case to our Accounts Security Team for further assistance. The account was on a ***** time out which is an option available to our users should they want to take a break from gambling. This would prevent further action from being taken as the account is inaccessible during this time.

      Due to the nature of the suspension, *** **** was required to supply a series of verification documents to verify both her identity and previous activity.

      Our team requested verification documents from *** **** on October 12th. *** **** responded that day and provided the necessary documents.

      Following a thorough review of the given material, *** ***** account was reinstated on October 14th. We restored *** ***** balance and recommended that he reset his password upon logging in as an extra security measure and set up Multi-Factor Authentication.

      *** **** has since accessed his account and withdrew his funds. He has continued to wager on our site so at this time FanDuel would consider this matter resolved.

      Fanduel Sportbooks allowed my account to be hacked and withdrew $421.00 out of my bank account. They are impossible to get ahold of and just keep telling me they don't need anything else from me. They have completely locked me out of my account so I can't even see what was done. I am extremely upset and feel that many people are at risk of this happening to them and conveniently they have no active phone numbers.

      I've been using fanduel since around the the beginning of 2023. I've never had any issues with loading money and never had any issues when I've lost my bets. and on sunday October 8th, I finally won a bet that I made that I wagered $100 and won $4,331.51. The next morning they suspended my account and demanded I provide multiple forms of documentation regarding my payment information and picture id and photo of myself holding a picture with that day's date. I provided all of it. the email said I would be contacted around 12 hours. it's going on 24 hours now and I've read multiple reviews of this happening to others also and it only being after they have finally WON a bet of a decent amount of money and they also had account immediately suspended and didn't hear back from them after providing information requested by fanduel. I would like help getting the money I rightfully won please. they never had any issues with my account when I was loading money for the last 2 months since *** season started and now that I have finally won they have suspended my account indefinitely and seems to me trying to avoid paying out money I won.

      On 10/9/2023, ******************** account was flagged and temporarily suspended due to suspected credit card sharing and login sharing with two other accounts. It is important to note that this suspension was unrelated to his deposits or winnings.

      After a thorough review by our accounts team and successful verification, **************** was informed about our terms, which prohibit patrons from co-owning or sharing an account or payment method to fund an account, as well as account sharing. We stressed the importance of **************** ensuring that he is the sole user of a payment method/device registered in his name to fund his FanDuel account, and that no one other than himself should access his account from a different device.

      We issued a ***** warning, emphasizing that any future references or suspicions of account sharing, payment method sharing, or device sharing could lead to a permanent suspension.

      On 10/11/2023, ******************** account was successfully reinstated. Furthermore, **************** was able to access and retrieve his funds. FanDuel considers this matter resolved and we appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns and clarify our processes with the consumer.

      Between 10/2 - 10/3 there were multiple failed deposits and multiple successful deposits totaling $10,400 worth of deposits on ************** account. At some point, ************ then disputed charges with her banking institution in the amount of $6,000.00, to which we complied. 

      At that time once the funds were returned, ************** account was temporarily disabled due to the disputed claim. At the time ************** account was disabled, there was a $3,3791.60 balance on the account which was promptly returned to her. 


      ************** account will remain disabled, until the disputed amount is repaid to FanDuel, per our Terms & Conditions.

      On Sunday morning Oct 8th at approximately 05:22 my account was hacked into on FanDuel. They proceeded to Withdraw $701 from my account they also Withdrew me from approximately $285 worth of entries that I was already in. They appeared to put a CC on my account somehow and Withdrew the money that way. I have contacted FanDuel Live Chat support numerous times since then and keep getting the same response that someone will look into it. I do not find this to be a sufficient response which I have tried to tell them and they keep saying it will be looked into. I am attaching the pictures of the withdrawal I received while sleeping from FanDuel.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
