If you're reading this, part of you is done. Act on it while that part is loud. A closed account makes the next bet harder to place, and the hard moments are where that counts. FanDuel runs a sportsbook, casino, daily fantasy and racing, and some of its limits carry across those products.
Apps move their menus around a lot. If a step doesn't match your screen, open the app's help or chat and ask for the same thing by name.
How to close your FanDuel account
- Withdraw your balance first.
- Contact FanDuel through support.fanduel.com and ask to close (deactivate) your account. FanDuel's terms say you can close it at any time.
- Some versions of the app also show a Close Account option under Account settings.
A closed FanDuel account can reportedly be reactivated through customer service, so pair closing with a timeout or self-exclusion if you want a real barrier.
Closing vs. self-excluding from FanDuel
A closed account can usually be reopened. Self-exclusion usually can't be undone early. When you're quitting, the one that's hard to undo is the one you want.
When you feel the pull to reopen FanDuel
The urge to reopen an account usually shows up around big games or right after payday. Decide now what you'll do instead when it hits, and tell one person you closed it. You're doing this while you're clear-headed so the version of you on a bad night doesn't get a vote.
Take a break from FanDuel
- Take a Timeout: Lock yourself out for 3 to 365 days. You can't log in until it ends. Start it at fanduel.com/rg.
Self-exclude from FanDuel
- Self-exclusion: Choose a length in years, starting at 1, at fanduel.com/rg. FanDuel also points you to your state's self-exclusion program, which covers every sportsbook there.
FanDuel is state-licensed, so your state's self-exclusion program covers it, along with every other licensed sportsbook in your state. How state self-exclusion works, and your state guide has the sign-up steps.
Set limits on FanDuel
Deposit, wager, maximum bet size, time and loss limits, plus deposit alerts. Lowering a limit takes effect right away. Raising one makes you wait. Set a limit if you want a speed bump. If what you want is a wall, that's self-exclusion.
Keep FanDuel off your phone
- Remove every saved card and bank link from FanDuel before you close it.
- Lock your phone with a gambling blocker like BetBlocker, and have someone you trust hold the passcode. More blocking options.
- Turn off the noise. Use the unsubscribe link or email [email protected], and turn off push notifications in the app's account settings.
Stop FanDuel VIP hosts, rewards and offers
FanDuel's rewards program is the Sportsbook Rewards Club. Its top level is invitation-only VIP, with VIP account managers. FanDuel's terms say people on self-exclusion or self-limit lists aren't eligible for the rewards club.
A host's job is to keep you betting, even when they sound like a friend. Self-exclude, put your opt-out request to FanDuel in writing, and screenshot anything that arrives afterward for your state regulator. What to do about VIP hosts.

FAQ
How do I delete my FanDuel account?
Some versions of the app also show a Close Account option under Account settings. A closed FanDuel account can reportedly be reactivated through customer service, so pair closing with a timeout or self-exclusion if you want a real barrier.
How long does FanDuel self-exclusion last?
Choose a length in years, starting at 1, at fanduel.com/rg. FanDuel also points you to your state's self-exclusion program, which covers every sportsbook there.
Does self-excluding from FanDuel block other apps?
Self-excluding on FanDuel covers FanDuel. Your state's self-exclusion program covers every licensed sportsbook in your state, but not prediction markets, sweepstakes sites or, in many states, pick'em apps.
What happens to the money in my FanDuel account?
Withdraw it before you close or self-exclude. Some apps lock your balance until a self-exclusion ends.
Should I tell someone I closed my FanDuel account?
Yes. Telling one person makes it harder to quietly reopen, and it gives you someone to text when the urge hits.
Now make the rest of it stick
A closed account handles one door. Your 90-day plan handles the urges and the money.
