The company, Fanduel Faceoff, runs multiple tournaments throughout the day. There are players clearly cheating (same people consistently getting 1st fee places with scores only obtainable by cheating). I've brought this to supports attention, but they day they'll look into and get back to me, and they never do. Either they don't care about the cheating, or they themselves are involved in it.Business Response

On 3/31/2024 my account was temporarily suspended due to "unusual activity". after uploading all documents the company asked for they have not responded to any of my messages whether it be an email directly to them or trying to contact them on ******** as these are the only ways to even try to get in contact with them. I have $500 that i had recently deposited into the account that I no longer have access to. i am not the only person who had their account randomly suspended within the last 2 weeks. if you go on ******* and search "fanduel suspended" you will find hundreds if not thousands of other customers whose accounts were randomly suspended.Business Response

I took part in a market research that fanduel had hivemind.zone conduct for them that took place on march 12th. Compensation for this market research was to be 200$ for 2 hours worth of my time. I have not been compensated, I have reached out to hivemind without a response and also have opened 2 support tickets with fanduel which again I have never received a response back.

To Whom It May ****************** write in response to *********************** recent consumer complaint regarding his FanDuel Account being suspended (ID #*********.
On March 26th, *** ****** FanDuel account was suspended for security concerns due to inconsistent activity.
On that 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, ************** is required to supply a series of verification documents to verify both his identity and previous activity.
On March 27th, ************** provided the requested verification documents.
On March 30th, our accounts security team requested the verification documents to be uploaded once more. ************** was having trouble with this process and so the documents were not received until April 2nd.
On April 3rd, after a thorough review of the information submitted, our team sent a follow up email with questions regarding the recent deposits made on the account. Our team found that ************** had made deposits using a card that was not in his name.
************** explained that his brother-in-law helped him set up his FanDuel account and had made a deposit with his card. This is a direct violation of our Terms of Use.
Per our terms, users can not ***own/share an account or share payment methods to fund an account. This includes family members, partners, and spouses. Payment methods used to fund an account need to be in the account holders name and cannot be used on another FanDuel account.
Additionally, FanDuel customers cannot share a device to place ****** or have someone else place ****** for them. Each device can only be linked to one FanDuel Account.
This is why the account was flagged.
On April 6th, prior to our team completing the review, ************** replied to our accounts security team and requested the closure of his his FanDuel account and withdrawal for his remaining balance. Our team had already initiated a refund for the remaining balance of $2,912.90 on April 5th.
*** ****** FanDuel account has been closed as requested and the remaining balance on the account has been refunded. FanDuel would consider this matter resolved.Initial Complaint

I signed up with Fanfuel as a part of a promotion. After I deposited the $10 required, I placed a $5 bet as required and the promotion promised $200 in bonus bets within 72 hours of the settled bet. After that time had passed, I sent an email to customer service to inquire about it. I was told it had been made out and expired within 3-4 days which is a lie. I kept responding back asking them to correct the error and now they won't respond back to me. They scammed me.Business Response

This experience has been an absolute nightmare. They took my money and then suspended my account. This was during a promotion they had where you receive 1 entry for every $10 spent on certain games. I had spent thousands of dollars on 7's wild and diamond cats at that point, and now that is just gone for no reason. On March 29th I had tried to make a deposit using my apple pay card. I was unaware you could not use Apple Cash when depositing as there are no indicators on their website to clarify. So when the $5 deposit failed, Fanduel immediately suspended my account due to "suspicious activity". So, FanDuel asked me to send them my cards and my ** and me holding the ** for verification. I did and they would not reach back out to me for 5 days. Then today I received an email saying they needed 2 more cards or my account would be suspended indefinitely. Those cards are my Applepay card which is not a physical card at all. The other is a virtual card. I am just so frustrated and every time I try to talk with someone there they give me the same answer. Wait for instructions, I will escalate this. They do not listen to what someone has to say and are very short. I used to enjoy FanDuel. The odds were good and bonuses nice but there are SO many better options. Draftkings is now my new number 1, MGM has customer service far superior.Business Response

To Whom It May ****************** write in response to *** ******** recent consumer complaint regarding Refund or Exchange Issues (ID # *********.
We would first like to apologize for the delay in the resolution of this matter.
FanDuel monitors all accounts for inconsistent activity and as a result, on 3/29/24, FanDuel temporarily suspended *** ******** account due to some inconsistencies flagged by our system.
On 4/4/24, our team made first contact with ******************, who complied in sending requested information we needed to verify. The delay in initial outreach can be attributed to our team's substantial backlog, and we thank ****************** for his patience. While the ****************** provided the information needed, our team requested additional information given the nature of the inconsistencies.
Shortly after providing the additional information, our team reviewed it, explained the reasoning for suspension and reactivated his account accordingly.
As for the promotion in question, ****************** has since been provided a bonus for the matter.
As *** ******** account has been reactivated, FanDuel considers this matter resolved.Initial Complaint

I have been a customer of ******************** with no complaints for a few years now until today.A few months ago, I added my boyfriends card so I could just use it directly from the app instead of having him send it to me. That caused my account to get flagged which is understandable, so I had to verify my identity. After sending a photo of myself holding a paper with todays date, my license, and a bill statement for proof of address, they then ask me to provide his license and information as well? Why? They say they need everyone on the account. 1. This is not a joint account and 2. I told them to just remove the card information so it would no longer be on the account. I have verified my identity and explained the discrepancy as requested and I am constantly getting the runaround from incompetent employees. They are asking me to provide a separate individuals information when I can not possibly do that, and I wont. This is solely my account and I am only responsible for my own personal information. Furthermore, when I asked what other options are available, I received a copy/paste reply from the last message they sent asking for the individuals info AGAIN.Constantly asking me to provide someone elses information is asinine and makes no sense or has any use in this scenario. They do not care about the customer or making them happy. Why collect data from me, regarding someone else? Ridiculous.Business Response

****************** contacted FanDuels **************** team regarding the suspension, which 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 her identity.
