Millions of individuals use FanDuel to wager on their favorite teams. While the betting service makes every effort to keep its customers pleased, the occurrence of an infrequent account suspension or restriction might create concern.
Why Have I Been Suspended from My FanDuel Sportsbook Account?
While the rationale for suspension may seem to be unjust, FanDuel must adhere to its terms of service in order to comply with federal law. You’ll know you’ve tripped its sensors if your screen shows a notification stating that your FanDuel account has been suspended.
The most often cited grounds for suspension are as follows:
Creating an account using fraudulent information
Numerous accounts
Utilizing a VPN
Suspicious activity detection
Inaccurate Information
The federal government taxes all winnings from online betting businesses. Tax records will be tampered with by providing incorrect or not complete information on FanDuel, which is a significant offense. To prevent legal complications, the following information must be accurate:
- Date of birth
- Telephone number
- Email address
- Your Social Security number’s last four digits
When FanDuel discovers that you submitted inaccurate information, it has the authority to suspend you until you verify your identity and demonstrate that you committed an error.
Numerous Accounts
FanDuel may detect your impropriety based on your IP address, credit card information, and social security number. Bettors are not permitted to create multiple accounts on the site. If you establish a second account without realizing it, you risk being suspended or banned.
You may attempt to resolve the situation and get your account unbanned, but this will need a persuasive appeal letter.
VPN
Online betting is not permitted in every state in the United States. If you use a VPN to fool FanDuel into believing you are in another state, FanDuel will ban your access. To wager legally on this service, you must reside in one of the following states:
- Colorado
- Pennsylvania
- Illinois
- Virginia
- Michigan
- Indiana
- West Virginia West Virginia
- Tennessee
- State of New Jersey
- Iowa
Additionally, FanDuel said that if your accounts in Pennsylvania, Indiana, or New Jersey were suspended before August 17, 2020, they would be stopped again.
Suspicious Behavior
If FanDuel detects any indication of a hacker attempting to access your account, it will be suspended. This is how it safeguards your account.
You may reclaim it, but you must first contact customer support team and reset your password.
How to Restore Your Suspended FanDuel Account
To regain access to the betting platform, you must contact customer care. You may contact them through the following methods:
- By emailing support@fanduel.com
- Submitting an online request
Explain what occurred, and they will inform you of the reason for the suspension. Within a day or two, you should get a response. Following that, you should present your case and convince them to lift the suspension. If the process was successful, FanDuel revokes suspension.

Can I make a new FanDuel account?
It depends on the reason your previous FanDuel account was suspended. Here’s a breakdown:
No new account with the same information – if your suspension was due to fraudulent information, multiple accounts, using a VPN, or suspicious activity, FanDuel likely linked your identity to those actions. Creating a new account with the same information will likely result in immediate suspension again.
Possible new account under certain conditions:
- Inaccurate information. If the suspension was solely due to incorrect details like date of birth, phone number, or email address, you might be able to create a new account after resolving the issue and verifying your identity with FanDuel.
- State restrictions. If your previous suspension was because you attempted to use FanDuel from a prohibited state, creating a new account from a legal state could be an option. Remember, online betting is only legal in specific US states.
Always contact FanDuel support:
Regardless of the reason, the best course of action is to contact FanDuel customer support.
They can provide specific details about your suspension and potentially guide you toward regaining access or creating a new account under legitimate circumstances.
Remember, FanDuel takes its terms of service and legal compliance seriously. Respecting their rules and seeking proper channels for resolution will improve your chances of a positive outcome.
