Key Findings

⚠ Account Limitation Discretion

FanDuel reserves the right to limit accounts at any time for any reason. Sharp bettors, winning players, and those who exploit promotions are regularly limited to minimal stakes.

"We may, in our sole discretion, limit your ability to place wagers, restrict your account, or close your account at any time without prior notice."

⚠ Bet Cancellation Authority

FanDuel can cancel bets for "palpable errors," technical issues, or suspected manipulation - even after events conclude. The definition of these terms is entirely at FanDuel's discretion.

"We reserve the right to void any wager that we reasonably believe was placed in error, resulted from a system malfunction, or involved suspicious activity."

⚠ Promotional Abuse Consequences

Using promotions in ways FanDuel deems abusive can result in bonus forfeiture, winnings confiscation, and account closure. What constitutes "abuse" is broadly defined.

"If we determine you have abused promotions, we may void bonus funds, forfeit winnings, and close your account."

⚠ Class Action Waiver

FanDuel's terms include mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver, preventing bettors from joining together to challenge platform practices.

"You agree to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration and waive any right to participate in class action lawsuits."

Recommendation

For Bettors: FanDuel is marginally better than some competitors on withdrawal speed, but terms remain heavily one-sided. Expect limitations if you become consistently profitable. Read promotional terms carefully - what seems like a good deal often has significant restrictions.

Financial Protection: Withdraw winnings promptly. Don't keep large balances on the platform. Screenshot bet confirmations and promotional offers. Be aware that "sharp" betting patterns will trigger account review.
