      Hello.Begging in August, I participated in sports betting with Fanduel. Within a month (Early September), I had given it up and closed down my account. Three weeks following that, I received attempted charged of $25, $50, $10, and $10 to my bank account which were declined. The following week (Today), I received a collections notice from Indebted for these amounts. Fanduel has made no contact with me attempting to collect the debt and has not waiting 6 months.

       Issues ID #********.

      Between 9/1 - 9/16, there were 76 deposit attempts on *** ****** account. In regard to deposit attempts made via PayWithMyBank, FanDuel uses a third party company (Trustly) to process these deposits. 

      Trustly has explained that for **************, the returns were for Non Sufficient Funds. In NSF scenarios, Trustly processes Representment up to two times to recoup the funds and the attempts are unsuccessful. Due to this, ************** was sent to Trustly's partner, Indebted for the collections process. The first contact ************** would have received is from Indebted.

      As all information have been relayed to **************, in regard to his collections letter, FanDuel considers this matter resolved.

      My twin brother and I were referred to Fanduel by a family member. We made big bets on some football teams and I ended up winning **** and my brother won ****. After we won and withdrew the money they suspended both of our accounts for no reason. They took money off both of our checking accounts but its been over a week and we have not heard from Fanduel. Both have contacted them through chat and through e-mail. They asked me to send a picture of mystery id, the date written on a piece of paper and me holding the paper, and all my methods of deposit. My brother was asked to send it three times. Only thing I can think of causing this is because were twins and were referred by the same family member, but we live at two different addresses and obviously dont share the same banking accounts. **************** has no answers and says that another department tracks this but doesnt know when they should reach out to me.

Following the suspension, they reached out to Support via chat. The user was advised that their account would be raised to the Accounts team who would follow up via email.

      The Accounts team sent the user an email requesting verification documents on 10/2. The user was able to follow up with the requested documents. Once reviewed, the Accounts team reached back out to the user with further questions for clarification. After providing the necessary clarification, the users account was reactivated on 10/11.

      We apologize for any inconvenience. At this time, the users account has been reviewed, it has been reactivated, the user has been able to withdraw their winnings, and we consider the matter resolved.

      After our team reviewed the information submitted by ***** ********* there were several follow up emails sent with additional questions. Our team found that ***** ********* account was linked to other FanDuel accounts via pay method and device. This is a violation of our terms and is not permitted.

      My account was suspended multiple times during 2023. You have to jump through multiple hoops to help with any issue. If you have an account problem, it will rarely get resolved in a timely manner. If you ask for a supervisor, you will not receive one. All communication is by email, and you cannot speak to a live human being. I have missed out on all free promotional bets for the ** Sportsbook open during 2023 due to Fanduel not being able to verify my **. I've sent a pic of the front and back of the ** multiple times and this is still not resolved on Fanduel's end. I am able to place fantasy bets, but not Sportsbook bets, which no one has been able to explain. Fanduel's lack of customer service is extremely frustrating and not reliable. They offer zero assistance and no store credit for any issue. There has got to be a better system for a multi-billion dollar company to use.

      To Whom It May ****************** are writing in response to ******************************************* recent consumer complaint regarding **************** Issues (ID #*********.

      Upon reviewing the consumer's account, we did not find any recent issues. The last time the consumer's account was suspended was early 2023 due to a Deposit Verification process. Our system flagged a deposit that required ************************** to provide additional information for verification. The consumer also reported unauthorized activity on their account, which necessitated an investigation. On both occasions, ************************** was granted access to his account after the necessary verifications and reviews were completed.

      When customers reach out to our customer support, there are limitations on the information that can be shared to avoid miscommunication or confusion. Our Accounts/Fraud team conducts thorough investigations to ensure the safety of our users and the integrity of our platform.

      As of today, ************************** has not encountered any account issues. He successfully verified with Sportsbook on 10/5/2023 and has been playing without any reported problems.
