      Sports betting became legal at the beginning of 2023 in my state. I created an account In early February and I immediately had issues depositing money. I had money so that wasnt the problem but using 2 or 3 different cards they were continuously declined. No big deal, I finally over the course of a few days was able to get enough money into my account. My first and only bet I placed won so I was excited and I withdrew the money. Before the money could hit my account I got an email stating I was suspended. This was February 4th, 2023. No big deal, I could fix this easily! I supplied Fanduel with all requested documentation including a photo of myself holding a piece of paper with the date on it. Weird but whatever! Well it is is now the end of March and they have yet to get back to me. I have sent numerous emails in regard to the case and no answer. They have been holding $6,600 of mine for close to 2 months with 0 answer from them. Is this how the biggest sportsbook in the country handles their customers? I am disappointed and Fanduel should be embarrassed. I want my issue addressed immediately and my money returned to me.

      To Whom It May ****************** write in response to *********************** recent consumer complaint in regard to their FanDuel Account being suspended with no resolution (ID #*********.

      On February 4th, 2023, *** ********** FanDuel account was suspended for security concerns regarding inconsistent activity relating to deposit transactions. 

      On that day, ********************** contacted our customer service team via email to inquire about her account suspension.  In the email, she acknowledges that her account may have been suspended due to her 50 declined deposit transactions. Our team advised ********************** that the account was suspended due to suspicious activity and was then escalated to our Accounts Security Team for further assistance.

      On February 6th, 2023 our team contacted ********************** via email to request a series of verification documents to verify both her identity and previous activity due to the nature of the suspension. ********************** responded that same day with the requested documents.

      After our team reviewed the information submitted by ********************** there was a follow email sent to her with additional questions on March 30th. ********************** responded that day with the additional information.

      After a thorough review of the given material, ********************** account was reinstated on March 30th. We advised **********************, per our terms, users can not ***own/share devices and if deposits are failing repeatedly it can lead to an automatic suspension of her account. We also let ********************** know that continuing this activity can cause her account to be flagged for further review.

      ********************** has since accessed her account and has withdrawn her funds. FanDuel would consider this matter resolved

      FanDuel refuses to stop sending me physical mailings (consisting of advertisements) and does not provide a readily available method for this. I have never been their customer. I do not know why ******************** has my name and address and think it is inappropriate for them to send me mail.I would prefer to deal with this through some sort of unsubscribing feature online. Many companies that send catalogs have a section of their webpage that is dedicated to removal from the mailing list. FanDuel has nothing of the sort. Instead, seemingly the best option is a chat service that requires the request to be narrowed into categories that might only apply to existing customers. To use the chat service to connect with an agent, one is required to provide an email address, which is counterintuitive as I am not interested to provide the business more of my contact information.In using the chat service, the chat agent was unable to process my request and had to forward it to another team, who picked it up over email. This was okay, but I would have preferred to have been transferred to a person who could do something about this simple request, especially as email did not pan out.Over email, I provided the address required to be removed from the mailing list once FanDuel contacted me for it. Another agent took over and said it was impossible to change the information on my account. Yet, I do not have an account and do not wish to change information - simply to have it removed.I replied that it did not make sense that they could not offer a solution as it indicated they had no control over their mailing list, which can't be true. After I stated this, FanDuel stopped replying. Thus, they will take no action to stop contacting me via mail. Email correspondence attached for support.

      To whom it may concern.I opened a FanDuel account on the first day of gaming in MA. I deposited $25 then a few days later $50. I made bets and won about $200. Then on Saturday the 18th I couldnt access my account. At the same time I started getting over 500 emails in several different languages asking to confirm over 500 subscriptions. I immediately contacted FanDuel via their chat support. They told me my account was suspended due to unusual activity. They emailed me and asked to send copies of my drivers license. Debit card and a photo of myself with the date handwritten I was reluctant since I felt my account was hacked. I ended up sending copies. I next got an email asking who belonged to a credit card with the last 4 digits I have never seen before. The next day my initial deposits of $75 were deposited into my account on file. I have not been told what the issue is. Now I get no responses from the. According to my latest email my account does not exist. Where are my winnings. What happened to my existing bets and the money used to place them. What gives them the right to just keep my winnings and wipe my account off the planet. This is wrong and needs to be corrected.

      I recently started using FanDuel for sports betting. On March 14 I deposited $50 into the account and FanDuel was offering a referral a friend promo which promised $75 account credit for both myself and the friend if they used the code to sign on. I referred two friends and both used the code given to sign up. They each deposited the required $25 wager to their account. Once their beta settled we were all suspended from the account approximately 24hours later. I have made many attempts to resolve the matter through their customer support. I was given a list of items required to have account reactivated. I have satisfied all their requirements and my account is still suspended and I am not receiving a reply or resolution. I cant even access the account to handle my own money. I would like my account reactivated. So I can withdraw my balance and Im hoping FanDuel will honour the promotion they advertised.

      On March 10th I was informed that my Fanduel account was suspended due to suspicious activity and multi-accounting. This just so happened to be the day that I won a bet and was in the process of withdrawing over $5000, which was denied immediately upon my account suspension. I find it odd as I only have one account in my name and would describe my bet as normal, not suspicious. I was later informed that I needed to submit proper documentation in order for my account to be reviewed, and so I obliged. It has been well over 7 full business days and I have yet to hear word regarding this review of my account and am now concerned that Fanduel is using tactics in order to steal money from their customers because they are fraudulently deeming customers in violation of their terms of service. I request my funds be returned to me immediately.

      On 03/06/2023 I deposited $300 to my fanduel account to get $150 in free bets ..after depositing $150 twice I received the free $150 bet from fanduel ..and I immediately withdrew my initial $300 but never received it back to my bank account.. I've spoken with 3 or 4 different people and each say it's been released by fanduel and I need to check with my bank they even gave me transaction ID numbers to give to the bank . The bank says they don't need id's because they just accepts deposits and there hasn't been any other deposits from fanduel..I have since been playing sports book and depositing and withdrawing money without any incidents.. but they won't return my $300. I have even sent them screenshots of my bank statement proving that I sent $150 twice but they mistook the withdrawals as deposits.. all I want is someone to take a look and realize that the money never reached my account.. today is 03/21/23 and I still haven't received my money.. what can I do?

      Our customer service team, payments team, along with our accounts team has had the opportunity to review ************** transactions and we have come to the conclusion that there are no pending deposits that are currently owed to ************.  

      On 03/06/23, ************ made 2 separate successful $150 deposit transactions (once at 6:30pm and another on 6:33pm) into his Fanduel account.  We can see that there was a request for $300 to be withdrawn on 03/06/2023 at 6:34pm, which was also successful.  

      On March 26, 2023, a member of our customer service team provided ************ with the Network Transaction  ID that was used for the withdrawal from ************** Fanduel account to his Debit card.  As these funds were successfully released to his debit card and the funds were successfully accepted by ************** institution, Fanduel no longer has liability to these funds.  

      As it was suggested to ************ by our customer service team, he would have to reach out to his banking institution for any resolution regarding these funds as we have already released these funds to that institution per the request of ************.  

      As Fanduel has already released the funds to ************** debit card, Fanduel would consider this matter resolved.

      FanDuel is a bad actor under various circumstances and here is something I encountered yesterday.You can deposit your money in about 10 different ways and there are also many options to cash out for example paypal, bank transfer, etc.I asked for a time out because gambling is crushing me.My remaining balance seems inaccessible. According to thier website, you can ask to have your balance sent to you.When I inquired about accessing my money, the customer service rep *********** told me via chat: the funds will remain on the account until this block is lifted.Thats a lie and im being tricked into keeping my balance with FanDuel when I clearly want to cash out.Ive been given the run around and Im filling this complaint before I ****I demand any balance on my account to be paid promptly and through the same or similar means I deposited, through electronic bank deposit or PayPal. I already have been financially affected by this fraud and I intend to ****

      The users account was flagged for suspicious activity and suspended on 2/23. After the suspension occurred, the user reached out to Support on 2/25 to inquire about their account. They were informed that their case would be sent over to the Accounts team to review.

      An email went out to the user on 3/23 to request verification documents for the review process. Following the submission of the documents, the user was asked to clarify the activity in question. After providing this information, the user was warned, and the account was reopened. The user can now withdraw their winnings, refund their deposited funds, or continue their play as they see fit.

      We apologize for any inconvenience. However, at this time, the account has been reviewed, it has been reactivated, the user is eligible to withdraw their winnings, and we consider the matter resolved.

      I signed up for FanDuel in December.Shortly after my account was suspended.I contacted support and was told I would hear back from the accounts team soon regarding a review of my account. I heard back in March 4 months later.I was asked to provide my ID and card information.I provided everything and my account was unlocked.The next day it was suspended again.Ive emailed an employee named ****** numerous times since the second suspension and he refuses to respond.I have a $1,012.50 balance in FanDuel. At this point it seems like they are just trying to scam me and stealing my money by ignoring me.Im not interested in doing business with such a dishonest company and horrible customer support.I need my deposit refunded or my account unlocked so I can withdraw my money.
