Why It Matters — Players
Why It Matters — Operators
FanDuel operates a responsible gaming programme across its licensed US sportsbook and online casino products. The programme is designed to provide players with practical tools to manage their gambling, meet state regulatory requirements, and support players who may need assistance with problem gambling.
Standard Player Controls
FanDuel makes the following responsible gaming tools available through account settings on its website and mobile apps:
- Deposit limits — Daily, weekly, and monthly limits on account deposits. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a cooling-off period before activation.
- Wagering (spend) limits — Caps on the amount wagered in a defined time period.
- Session time alerts — Notifications when a player has been active for a defined period, helping players stay aware of time spent gambling.
- Cooling-off periods — Temporary account suspension for a chosen number of days, during which the player cannot deposit or wager.
- Self-exclusion — Players can permanently exclude themselves from all FanDuel accounts and products. FanDuel also participates in state self-exclusion registers maintained by state gaming commissions, meaning players who register through a state programme are blocked from FanDuel in that state.
Reality Checks and Spending Summaries
FanDuel provides account-level transaction history and deposit summaries so players can review their gambling activity and spending over time. This transparency tool is designed to help players stay informed about their actual spending patterns.
State Self-Exclusion Integration
State gaming commissions in every state where FanDuel holds a sportsbook or iGaming licence operate self-exclusion programmes that FanDuel integrates with. Players who exclude via a state system are identified and blocked across all licensed operators in that state, including FanDuel.
Support Resources
FanDuel displays the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-522-4700, operated 24/7 by NCPG) prominently across its platform. FanDuel also provides links to the NCPG's online chat service, Gamblers Anonymous, and state-specific treatment and counselling resources. Players can access FanDuel's responsible gaming resources directly through the "Responsible Gaming" section of the FanDuel website or app.
