I recently began using fan duel and was placing bets for the September 10th MMA matches, and a few of the September 11th *** matches. After winning some money and attempting to withdraw, they locked me out of my account. I keep getting run around by the customer service and am becoming anxious that they just straight up stole my money. Apparently LOTS of other people have had these issues. Please update your processes for account verification and stop locking people out of accounts without any warning. You can't take people's money and then lock the account as soon as they try to withdraw something - that is criminal.Business Response

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:They managed to unblock my account but $200 of bonus credits are missing. They keep telling me the people who signed up with my link used a different link which is IMPOSSIBLE. They were in the same room as me when they signed up!!! If I dont get the $200 bonus credits Im just moving onto a different sportsbook where they dont lie constantly.
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

To confirm, users must send their referral link to anyone who does not already have a FanDuel account, they must sign up directly through the link, and meet all the requirements. If all requirements are met, then the bonus is automatically applied, but if the credit is not applied that means that it wasnt done correctly. As a one-time courtesy the user was given a $100 courtesy credit by Support on 9/24/22.
Please be advised that our stance remains unchanged. The users account was reviewed and reinstated, they have been given a one-time courtesy credit, theyve been advised on how Refer a Friend works, and we consider the matter resolved.Initial Complaint

We write in response to ************************ recent consumer complaint regarding Billing or Collection issues (ID #*********.
On September 22, 2022, *** ********* FanDuel account was suspended for security concerns regarding inconsistent activity relating to deposit transactions.
On this day, ******************** contacted FanDuels **************** team regarding the suspension and was escalated to the Accounts Security Team for further assistance. Due to the nature of the suspension, ******************** was required to supply a series of verification documents to verify both his identity and previous activity.
At our request, ******************** provided us with the requested documentation. After a careful review of the given material, it was found the material provided was insufficient and we could not allow ******************** continued access to our site.
As a result, *** ********* account was suspended indefinitely and will remain permanently suspended. ******************** was notified of such on a follow-up email. The available cash funds was partial of a deposit and refunded back to the original source of payment on 09/22/22.
Due to the security concerns revolving around the account and the inability to provide material and due to the nature of the security concern, his account would not be reinstated. FanDuel would consider this matter resolved.Initial Complaint

We write in response to **************** recent consumer complaint regarding their suspended account and refund of funds. ID # *********
After a review of **************** account and issue, we see his account was initially suspended on 09/06/2022 by our security team as they noticed a potential deposit issue. ************** reached out to our chat support on the same day and asked for a refund right away of his remaining funds in his account. Our agent advised them that once an account has been suspended, the accounts team has to do a complete review to determine the cause and solution for the suspension. This is was reiterated to ************** multiple times by the agent. To which ************** responded with "You can keep it suspended I just want my money back" and "Im so done with fanduel". ************** was also advised that a member of the Accounts team will reach out to them directly to complete the potential deposit issue review process to get their account up and running.When the Accounts Team reached out to ************** on 09/14/2022 and asked for some required verification documents to complete the review, ************** refused to provide any documents requested and instead responded with "You can keep the money. I'm done with Fanduel I'm glad it wasn't much money". We have no intention of keeping ****************** money from them, but unfortunately until they do not provide us with the requested verification documents, we will need to keep their account suspended.
We consider this matter resolved.

A few months ago, I deposited ~$10,000 into FanDuel Sportsbook, and ended up winning ~$12,000. When I tried to withdraw a chunk of this once everything settled, my account got suspended without explanation and the withdrawal never went through. I've tried to email support, primarily inquiring about why I had been suspended in the first place, and secondarily in hopes of quickly getting my account reactivated to regain access to the money in my account. It's now been 9 weeks, and all I've heard from their support is that they're "investigating the claim". I have been in a now two months back-and-forth with customer support, as well as the accounts team, about my suspended account, and I've uploaded all requested verification. But for most of the near dozen times I've reached out, all they've told me is that it's ongoing. In the latter follow-**** I've heard nothing. Considering the amount of the damages, I feel like some sort of recourse in this matter should have been expedited by now, and I wish to re-gain access to/get back the funds in my account.Business Response

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:I was able to receive most of the funds from my account, as per the attachment. However, a remaining balance of ~$4000 still has not been received. I replied with my PayPal email within 2 hours after their initial resolution, but that was one week ago and I still have not received any confirmation. This is after waiting almost 3 months to receive the first amount.

9/7/22 @ 6:57pm ***** Kitchen Slot Game ID ********** I was playing the ***** Kitchen slot and increased my spins to $12 dollars a spin. I then hit a 3 symbol 10 free spin bonus round. I had to pick the winning team (blue or red) before starting the bonus round and if you pick correctly the game goes into another bonus. My team (blue) was well ahead with 2 free spins left. I was at $444 dollars in winnings so far from the free spins and the game lagged out. I then restarted the app to no avail. It just said continue where you left off with 2 free spins remaining. When I clicked continue it would lag out again. I took screenshots and screen recordings of all this as it happened and provided all of those to FanDuel and have saved them for myself. As of 5:17am on 9/8/22 the game in question is now showing ended on the transaction details but I did not get my final 2 free spins, the second bonus round, or the current $444 dollars that I won so far from the free spins. FanDuel is giving me the runaround and wonders why I am extremely frustrated. That was going to be a $700-$1k game at the very least. No one at FanDuel is even acknowledging my issue so Im left with escalating this to the fullest extent possible. I would just like this corrected so I can continue to enjoy gaming.Business Response

To Whom It May ****************** write in response to *** ******** recent consumer complaint regarding repair issues (ID #*********.
We would first like to apologize for the delay in the resolution of this matter.
On 9/7/22, ****************** experienced an issue during one of our slot games, H**** Kitchen. During this game, ****************** was in the middle of a bonus round when there appeared to be a lag, kicking him out of the game. After doing standard troubleshooting steps, he was unable to re-enter the game, and was unable to receive the potential winnings from the bonus round he was in.
This was escalated to our Third-Party Game Provider to resolve this stuck session for ******************. During this review, ****************** was in direct contact with a Senior Member of our Accounts Team who was monitoring the issue for any updates.
On 9/13/22, the review was completed, and our Third-Party Game provider confirmed there was a stuck session, and this has since been released. ****************** was owed potential winnings of $767.52, along with the original stake of $12.
*** ******** account has since been provided the total of $779.52.

The business has $254 of my money and there is no way to withdraw it because they will not change my name to my legal name after marriageBusiness Response
Date: 09/21/2022
To Whom It May ****************** write in response to ********************* recent consumer complaint regarding failed withdrawals (#********).
On September 8th, ******************* had $254 in her FanDuel account - $207.09 of which were deposited funds and $46.91 of which were Sportsbook/Casino winnings. She was able to successfully refund $100 of her deposited funds back to her PayPal, and for the other $154 she requested a check. This request was denied on September 9th not due to it not matching the verified name on the account, but rather because it included deposited funds. Per FanDuel policy, users are required to play through their entire deposit as only winnings are eligible to be withdrawn.
After the check withdrawal request was rejected, the $154 was returned to ********************* account, where she proceeded to play with those funds on FanDuel's Casino platform.
After contacting FanDuel Customer Support on September 7th to change the linked Venmo on her FanDuel account, on September 10th, a member of our Payments team followed up with ******************* to inform her this had been taken care of. ******************* is now able to make a deposit via Venmo to establish her preferred ***** account on file with FanDuel. Once she does this, it will resolve any previous withdrawal issues she may have had with ***** on FanDuel.
On September 8th, ******************* contacted FanDuel Customer Support again, requesting to change the verified name on her account to her legal name after marriage. On September 18th, a Supervisor followed up with ******************* to inform her that her verification attempts have been reset so she can attempt to verify with her updated legal name after marriage. FanDuel would like to apologize for the amount of time it took for her inquiry to receive a follow up.
Since ******************* is now able to link her preferred ***** to her FanDuel account and attempt to re-verify with her updated legal name after marriage, FanDuel considers this matter resolved.Initial Complaint

I received an email 5 days ago saying that my account was suspended for inconsistent activity. I waited 4 days for a reply. I was told to send in a front and back picture of my ID, the front and back of the card or cards I used on the app for deposits, and a photo of myself holding a piece of paper with today's date on it. I complied within 20 minutes of receiving the email and now, 2 days or so later, I am still waiting for my account to be unsuspended. When I contact customer service online, I'm told I just have to wait and that they can escalate my issue (which as of this post, my issue has been escalated 4 times), but that's all they can do. I just want my account unsuspended.Business Response
