FanDuel Fantasy Sports Reviews

by Bubbabashet

My account got suspended on Monday after I won and now I have no access to my money that I won not has anyone reached back to me with a solution and an explanation. I did nothing wrong. I put $125 in FanDuelFantasySports and played some lineups. I did not take any money or do anything else wrong. However, after I win I get kicked out of my account with no solutions. After contacting support multiple times they continue to tell me that they put a ticket in for the account team to get back to me yet I have still not received an response. Want to know if I got my money for my win and what I put into FanDuelFantasySports ? Yeah, well the answer is no! What happens when you ask the support team when you will get your money? They tell you that only the account team can help you with that. Go figure! Very angry and upset about this, otherwise this would be a 5 star review. This is getting out of hand…

Don’t get me wrong I have had a blast using FanDuelFantasySports, but when it comes down to the difference between this website and others is that when ever applications have technical malfunctions other company’s will take responsibility and either give you a credit for entries that you did not have the proper access to either edit or see you line ups, they will give the sense of security and confidence to entrust them with your hard earned money. This is a very important trait to have when you are looking for a place to enter money and play your money, as FanDuel although I have been a customer for quite the years, every time I ever had a malfunction cause any kind of delay in access to my account or access to editing my line ups before lock or anything they have always try to say that it has been my fault and after this recent incident I have done everything that has been recommended by their only Tech Support guy I have always gotten Gregory saying that it was still my fault and they can’t do anything so although I have always been good about owning responsibility on my end this is the last straw, and I will no longer trust them with my money their are many other websites that are more beginner friendly and offer bigger prizes and many different type of tournaments. In all honestly would you use a vending machine or claw machine if you knew it had malfunctions that were not going to secure your investment? I dot”my think so.

Beware of this company. Lucky for them, it’s only a few fantasy companies out there. So I convinced my STEP DAD, who didn’t want to join this fantasy thing but always show interest in my bets. He finally accepted my referral, joined, deposited. Two minutes later, FanDuel suspended my account and his without a notice or violating any rules. I contacted them on my behalf. I was told my location showed I was in Georgia and it was done to protect me, meanwhile I never been there before, I have always been in Texas and still in Texas. Besides they could have send me an email to verify.
My step Dad also contacted them, and he was told they need to verify if he’s the one, meanwhile, this man have already verified with his social, DOB, and a bank card in his name and address.
FanDuel have the worse customer service and they care less about their customers. It’s unfortunate customers keeps going back to them because it’s few fantasy companies out there.
This made me look so bad to my step dad, who had so much respect for me. He felt I scammed him since FanDuel refuse to refund his deposited money and kept playing games with and and he as well.
I have no trust for this company after that. Beware if you’re new to this... They have done such to a lot of customers no careless. They fell we need them instead we make them money and treat customers like ...... Be warned!

These guys are 100% rigged!!! One big example- Many of their contests include athletes/players as being available & active in their respective games for that day’s games, including many of the highest profile players like Leonard, Harden, & L.James. Their site will show them as being active & playing on game day, and they purposely don’t update their site with those player’s status until after lineups are locked & no changes can be made. Betters who include those particular players aren’t allowed to switch them out even though the actual games for said players is hours away from game time. They’re basically allowing for bad info to hamper and derail people/contestants who don’t have insider info. Stay away from this place & wager your hard earned money elsewhere where you’ll have a fair chance at winning.

WebDelvoper- pls save your BS response! Your methods don’t make for “challenging” gaming, it makes for corrupting many contests so that most of us who don’t have insider contacts/info are F’d and basically just ponds to fill your contests with money we won’t have a chance at winning. This is me leaving to wager at DraftKings, where “challenging” doesn’t actually mean the brains behind your lock out rules.

FanDuelFantasySports and layout of it in itself is great same as scoring and the contest offered. That’s it for the good. Unless you wanna win 3 dollars you won’t be happy. The site is completely overran by sharks entering in 100s of lineups at a time. They literally enter every possible lineup in the big money contest. And don’t reply “we suggest research Etc etc” no they suggest entering the max amount of lineups and combinations at a click of a button while regular players like me are screwed. Oh enter the single entry contest? Yeah that’s fine but there aren’t many of them. And what’s worse they just bought out Draft I turned 25 dollars into 1700 over 2 years of bestball drafts and it was fun and not insanely time consuming loved the format. Now that’s over. All in all unless you wanna fill up sharks and fanduel pocketbook with their unfair advantages stay far away. They have the worst win pct and won’t change anything about it. Until the 300 entry’s per person in a contest is addressed don’t use it. Oh and if you do win money have fun getting it off there! Thanks for ruining Dfs in general for the regular players. And no I’m not playing your BS 1 dollar contest where I would have a chance cause the sharks don’t overrun them as much

First off, I use to use this a lot in the past then for some reason I stopped using it. No real reason, just stopped using it. Recently wanted to start using it again for this upcoming NFL season but with all the issues, it appears I may have to go back to using a strong competitor that rhymes with “Raft Rings”. FanDuelFantasySports I can’t even accurately rate anymore seeing how it’s completely useless since it doesn’t even open and isn’t usable at all.
Secondly I recently received an email that apparently due to too many failed login attempts my account has been temporarily locked. Which is fine and I understand security. What I don’t understand is the complete confusion when I reach out to support and I get about 4 different explanations and how to fix it. I can’t understand why if my account is locked because of a failed login issue, why am I not even able to reset my own password after verifying my identity.
So now NFL season is just days away and I can’t even access my account by no doing of my own, with no ETA as to when/if I’ll ever regain access to my own account. Time to move to another platform if this is how things run.

Somehow they let me open two accounts under one email address with two different screen names/handles. On the second screen name/handle I made a small deposit. Fast forward to when I got a new phone, the NBA season went in the lockdown because of Covid etc I no longer used FanDuelFantasySports and the money sat on the second account. Fast forward to the start of this nba season and I download FanDuelFantasySports on my most recent device. I realize I have money on said second screen name which I only know to be my only account.

After about two weeks I am getting different stories from different people. I am told they’re going to make my first account/screen name my primary account, but I have no way to get my money back from my second account that I deposited. Mind you their system let me make two different accounts under one email, that’s not my fault. From my point of view, as a consumer, it just looks like they just took my money.

Yes, they did offer to send a check, however they can only send the check to the address on file. I can’t change to my new address or to my most recent bank account.

*Update* Another night, another big star sitting out and 1st word is a half hour before the game. Of course this is 4 hours after the contest started and no ability to make a late swap due to FDs idea of “challenging”. Challenging is competing against thousands of players where fractions of a point are the difference between pennies and hundreds, so make it dumber by having everyone guess whose actually going to be playing and hope a last minute coach/player decision doesn’t cost you a win.

FanDuel is often late with updating availability information. I just don’t understand the no late swap policy change for NBA. In so many contests I’m unable to replace sick or hurt players an hour or more before tip-off because the contest already started with other games. Makes no sense to not be able to replace players up until 5 minutes before the tip. This policy change is ridiculous and not the way things are done on other DFS sites. Tired of giving money away on last minute updates especially when there sometimes is not even a questionable tag on a player who ends up sitting out. Don’t understand why this policy exists.

If you run into any issues have no fear customer service ain’t here. First you’ll be redirected to the same webpage over and over with little to no instructions on how to fix issues. Then if you do try to find direct help it gets even better, you can only email!! Don’t worry only 3-5 *or more* (their exact verbiage) days until you get your first reply! If you don’t want to do that try out the live chat, where you can wait for 2 hours in a fake number queue then once finally directed I got a reply asking what’s wrong, upon telling the person they say “let me look up your account”. No more than 10 seconds later she disconnected the chat room and got sent right back to the queue! Don’t get me wrong I love sports betting, especially parlays, so it’s a fun app but there is no customer service nor any care for the customer base. So here I am unable to access my account not knowing if my bets are actually through that I already placed and no access to any money I had invested into my account. Thanks, a lot!!

by Poor Customer Service!!

So my boyfriend and I have use FanDuelFantasySports for a very long time it’s something we do together not only did they suspend my account in the middle of a game it is now been a month and I still have not been able to access my account or get any information back on why this happened. I’ve wrote them several emails over the last month trying to send in everything that they needed from me and they keep just sending me the same automated email. I will no longer be using FanDuelFantasySports and make sure anybody I know does not use FanDuelFantasySports due to the problems I’ve been having they want to just make their money and it’s a joke to them with any issues it has. Also their telephone customer service line is not currently accessible due to Covid and anytime you email them with an issue it’s an automated email back. I am very unsatisfied with the little bit of information that I have gotten and still my account is suspended and I have no access to any of the funds that I had.

The pictures of the players are too big. Do I really need to be looking at their huge mugshots when all I'm looking for are their names and stats? Too much blank space. Because of this, it takes way too long to scroll down to find a player. While watching my stats, I want to see my players in one glance, not have to scroll because the pictures are too big. It takes away from the experience and it’s frustrating. I want to all my players stats change at once when I check how my team is doing. Are we in out 80’s that we need to see these big players faces? It’s horrible too look at, frustrating when trying to build a lineup, especially on a big slate because you have to scroll so much. Not as fun to follow your team when you have to scroll down to see your teams stats. I’m probably going to avoid playing until this is resolved. It’s that bad.

They offer a service that shows which players are in and out. This service is super lagggggy compared to when information is actually released. Often it happens that players aren’t confirmed in or out until after lock, when the information was available in the industry 20-30 minutes prior. They state that “it’s every players responsibility to check all social media and online sources”. It’s not like they even have to pay for the information, all teams are required to have lines ups before the game. Not sure why it take 20-30 minutes to update that in the FanDuel System. Also, once the first game locks, you can no longer go in and view the notes through FanDuelFantasySports . I just don’t understand how you have this massive system and website and algorithms but can’t figure out how to update player’s status in a timely manner. In the past, they would accommodate such mistakes with a credit. Which is fine, but that has come to and end. Customer service simply said it’s my fault/responsibility. I get that, but I had my app open, watching the games live and none of the teams players showed any status updates until the second after that game locked. I’ve been playing daily for like 9 years and they are now concerned about giving me a $15 play credit.

Recently FanDuelFantasySports was experiencing technical difficulties with their stat provider, according to their customer service. That’s fine. Things happen. However, they didn’t do right by their customers. We couldn’t access out stats, progress, or lackthereof. The whole premise of FanDuelFantasySports is to have fun with live updates on yards, completions, scoring, etc. This went on for three days.
To make matters worse, they only compensated players that bet under a certain amount with a lousy voucher.
Now, on my app, it freezes when I try to look at the prizes for the games I may want to play. I’ve deleted FanDuelFantasySports and restated my phone and it still does it.
FanDuel has a lot they need to work out but most of all, in my opinion, they owe their customers more than what they’ve given.
Fun app when it’s working though!

I’m at work and can’t check my phone and my contests have started and I can’t change any players because that game has started for the night. You guys made the lineup changeable after being submitted but if I’m not staying by my phone constantly and I miss an update to see a player has just been sat out 2 minutes before, it’s pointless. The SIMPLE and EASY fix for this is to allow members to have a standby player in the case not everyone can see those last minute notifications to see if a player is out or not. It’s a 100 percent fair on both sides as long as the backup player is only counted in the case that a player has been ruled out In a short amount of time and as long as that player is still within the standard fan duel rules.

The Key word here is, “usually”. Most of the time I make my picks and have decently successful outcomes. However, I’m looking into seeing if anyone else is having that really unfortunate glitch or removal of completed line ups which should have no issue for the reason funds are more than sufficient balance wise.
For example, I made numerous line ups today for the wild card games. The last game of the day was Steelers vs Chiefs. Didn’t do too well so I decided to make an entry for the fourth Qtr only. Had plenty of time with about 8 min left in the 3rd. Submitted my entry and was extremely confident in my 25$ fee so was hoping for a great prize!
.......I look back after the first score of the Qtr and my entry was gone. Of course I had the player who scored and would been almost top 5 in points if not removed mysteriously.... very up set cuz we all know the feeling of making a rewarding line up. Sorry for the story just would’ve been sitting here with about 1k wealthier instead 😞

I started using FanDuel probably 5yrs ago and never played any fantasy football before that. It gives you a fair chance by starting you in beginner bets, and explains well how each type of betting works. I’ve won money from playing pretty consistently and it has made watching the games even more fun. I don’t feel intimidated at all because you get professional insight when you click on players to see what their standings are. It’s very easy to pull your money out and I usually have it within 2business days because I get it sent to my paypal. Love FanDuelFantasySports . Couldn’t recommend it enough(I like it more than draft kings too btw)

As an avid, “seasoned,” Daily Fantasy player/participant.. I’ve found FanDuel to be top notch in all categories. Analysis, predictions, rankings, salaries, all spot on. It is both informative and entertaining. I love the variety of play styles and entry formats.. as well as the free pools. But I think my favorite thing about FD is the Opponent Rankings, the breakdown of the 3 categories.. Pass/Rush/Overall. This has been significantly beneficial tool to utilize while making lineups and comparing/considering players/stacks/etc. Bottom line.. for me.. is the platform set up (easily navigated, basic format but detailed and streamlined “necessary info”) provided info/stats/predictions/rankings, plethora of play styles/formats, both paid and free… all in all… IF ever my lineups don’t hit (sarcasm)… it can’t be blamed in their info. The NFL is crazy and unpredictable and somehow you guys still cover the bases and provide top notch platform for DFS. TOP TIER, MVP for DFS. I only play NFL and occasionally NBA.. but they’ve got all sports… and a little something for anyone. The freebies are a great way to go if just getting into fantasy sports. Well Done, FanDuel.. for keeping a seasoned, MVP, Journeyman DFS player like me enjoying game and world of fantasy sports.. even when I make some pretty poor picks🤣THANK YOU!! Here’s to a profitable Sunday Fantasy FunDay! 🔥🏈💰🧹(🧹-rake.) RAKING IT IN!

Never thought winning a whole penny in a fantasy horse race would be so satisfying. But this is 2020 and who knew all the happy tappy things we used to do would be taken away. In all seriousness, my very first FanDuel was a $10 win on an NFL roster. Believe me, it was all picks made based on players names. But I was hooked. Got my son hooked, and now we make nickel bets on NASCAR, NBA, PGA, and NFL. I continue to amaze friends and strangers alike with my profound knowledge of pro athletes, and being a female senior citizen that even impresses my hot shot nephews. And shout out to the crews behind the scenes. On the two occasions in the past two years something glitchy went on with my account, I had an answer and a fix almost before I could even finish asking. If they ever change their name FUNDuel would be a good choice!

Great for people new to this activity as they have specific contest just for beginners. Can earn free plays (who doesn’t like free) and even create hard to head or small year long fantasy leagues. We did a baseball on and picked a new team every weekend and played all season (very low key). Many options w/ the huge player pools with the big payouts to a pool of 100 players or head to head. Even games that pay if you beat 50% of the field. You can even start with like $5 or something and play games for a quarter to get the hang of everything. PayPal, credit cards, or a checking account make it easy for deposits (although you may want to consider a checking account to withdraw your winnings). Playing 3 years now 😀

I was using FanDuelFantasySports for fantasy’s basketball with no problems for about a week. Suddenly it asked me to verify my identification by uploading by driver’s license. I could not play any other matches until I verified my identity. Once I uploaded it it took about 2 hours for FD to get back to me. They said that it failed and sent me a link to upload it again. Once again it failed. They sent me another link. This happens around 10 times. At the same time their responses took longer and longer. At one point it took them 5 days to get back to me just to give me another link to try and upload it again. Finally after contacting them through their live chat they said there is something wrong with there verification provider and they are trying to figure it out right now. They still have not gotten back to me. This process has been very time consuming and frustrating.

Granted, although a member, i do not play much; therefore, I am not one of the high profile customers. Nevertheless, I don’t believe the treatment should be significantly tilted. A week ago, I got a promotional email from RotoPass (partners with fan duel) that by just visiting their site and pressing on the fan duel “redeem” $10 would be added to my account. Fan duel did not recognize that and in a series of emails refrained payment. Finally, I told them that at this point I wish I had not deleted the email so I could have provided it as proof, yet rejecting the free money. I did not wake up one morning scheming, I added, for a measly $10.
When I told them that I will redeem my chump change out of the account and play exclusively at”Draft Kings” and write the summary of the incident, I received one final email telling me that they will issue a credit of $5 to the account!!!! as a one time courtesy at that. Miserable cheap skates.

They spam the hell out of your inbox even if you unsubscribe from all emails, which is actually a violation of the Can Spam Act for which they should be paying massive fines. Lucky for them, big business lobbies have destroyed our regulatory agencies so they will never be held accountable unless consumers stop doing business with them.

Response: Yes I already went through this process over a 6 month period. The “Unsubscribe” button always takes you to an “expired link”. Support made assurances that never resulted in being removed from Fanduel’s email list. It wasn’t until I filed a complaint with the FTC that I was finally removed. This is a WARNING to anyone who doesn’t want to endure a months long battle to stop receiving SPAM from Fanduel.

I only use for football at this point and it’s great overall. Started using friends mode last year and it’s got quirks that I think should be ironed out. Had a 3 person league playing winner take all. Went to add 3 additional people and had to terminate one league and start another, forcing everyone to rejoin. Now at 6, and a winner take all league, your league will default to $0 if 1 person doesn’t join in time. Who cares? It’s our league and if only 5 play, so be it. Not the end of the world but certainly 1 of many things that should be a setting option for leagues. Room to grow, I suppose.

by Adam The Almighty

For just the casual fan, you may not enjoy this service. I call it a service since it technically is betting on sports, but just on individual players rather than the whole team. For the die hard fan, $1 can go a long way! If you know your superstar receiver is going up against a 3rd string defender, you have the inside edge and are able to put him in your line up.

Very easy to learn, very often have promos for free money, and you can withdraw your money at any time! Keeps you entertained throughout the whole week with every kind of sport you can think of. And constantly adding new ones every year.

Very fun service and very easy to use app. Keep it up FanDuel!

I've been playing fantasy football for a long time, and started with the old AFFL league when it was dial in and phone props for a salary cap league. And I always spent $150/ year, so you can have weekly action and budget yourself for a season of fun. There are games for as little as pennies and double up, to quintuple up for $2 or $5 dollars, which keeps your bankroll alive. I do it every week, maybe spread $20-$50 put for the week and have some small double ups or triple ups for $2 or $5. And the big pools have prizes far down enough, that if you're in the top thousand, even top ten thousand you win something. Highly recommend!

by UNC Blows

App works great and there have been a lot of good updates recently. There are still times when I try to refresh my Friends leagues scores and it doesn’t show anything. I have to close app and reopen.

Also, would love to see the Friends Championship leagues be able to split the weekly earnings among the top X number of people. Would help keep people more interested if they got a little something even if they didn’t win outright and makes the Sunday night game more intriguing if 8-10 people might have a chance at a few dollars rather than just 2 or 3 at 1st place money.

by Antgreene47

I’ve been using DraftKings for the last two years this is a bit different especially the NBA with no triple double or anything like that but I actually like it it’s user-friendly and I do like some of the things that they’ve changed when I first started using FanDuel years ago the reason I change because they wouldn’t let you change players wants the actual contest started now you can enter contest where you can change your flyers up until their game actually starts

by Donutprince

Certainly there’s real money at stake here and there are of course sharks lurking all around these contests waiting to strike. Seriously, what blows me away as a “semi experienced” player at this point is how often you see same names at or near the top of these contests. The amount of work and dedication these folks put forth, Is clearly evident and certainly why they are genuinely pros...Still am amateur (in my mind) albeit having tasted victory a few times, once or twice with pots in excess of $10k, I am amazed at the pros and their seemingly always being “in it”

Anyways, like I said, still being an amateur and doing this mostly for entertainment purposes only, I only wish that my state of NY, didn’t still possess some of the restrictions over eligibility to certain sports, contests, up to and inclusive of the ability to utilize the FanDuel Sports-book services offered in my neighboring state of NJ.

Thanks,
Matt

Since I’ve been playing FanDuel I found an interest more in player stats and how games are put together when it comes to winning and in the process have fun doing so. Basketball and football are my favorites I try from time to time golf but don’t do much good with my picks. More research on my part but o well I’ll stick with what I’m good at. In the meanwhile it’s just an awesome and good to challenge myself with the games provided by the FanDuel team. Thanks for the opportunity to test my skills in your competitive sports games. Thanks FanDuel team😁

It’s very entertaining
As long as you bet with in your means
Gambling is an addiction but if it’s under control it’s not an addiction it’s an entertaining way to pass your Sunday
The ones that play every day there should be some kind of player protection so that if the players get out of hand FanDuelFantasySports automatically realizes and Red flags that account so that there a net at the bottom of there day so that they can keep being customers that bet with there head not over it
When a player plays for necessity they have to lose forever as an obligation
Gambling should be an entertainment not A way to make money
Some have control some don’t
The ones that don’t should be protected by the same people that are ruining there lives so they can wake up smell the coffee and do the right thing for there families
That’s my opinion
