How to quit FanDuel

Mobile sportsbook, online casino (in eligible states), DFS, and horse racing (TVG). This page walks through how to close your account, enroll in self-exclusion, and find gambling-recovery support that fits your insurance.

1. Close your FanDuel account

Support channel: [email protected] or in-app chat.

1. 1Open the app and go to Account → More → Responsible Gaming.
2. 2Select Self-Exclusion or Account Closure.
3. 3Choose a duration. Permanent closure is final and cannot be reversed without a formal support escalation.
4. 4Confirm; expect an email receipt within 15 minutes.
5. 5Withdraw remaining balance before confirming permanent closure.

Note. FanDuel and TVG share account infrastructure; closing one may close both. Confirm with support if you only want to close sportsbook.

2. Enroll in your state's self-exclusion registry

Closing your FanDuel account does not stop you from signing up elsewhere. State self-exclusion binds every operator licensed in your state, typically for a minimum of one year. It's the step that actually keeps the door locked.

3. Block the app on your phone

Deletion is not enough. Apps can be reinstalled in seconds. Gamban, BetBlocker, and phone-level restrictions (iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link) all make reinstalling much harder. Hand the passcode to someone you trust, not yourself.

What FanDuel will do to pull you back

Closed accounts are a marketing problem for operators. Expect outreach. Being ready for it matters.

• →Email campaigns with "odds boost" promos during sports seasons.
• →Same-game parlay nudges during live events.
• →DFS contest reminders even when only sportsbook was used previously.

Get recovery support

Closing one platform is the start, not the solution. Gambling disorder is a behavioral addiction recognized in the DSM-5, and it responds to real treatment — CBT, peer support, medication management in some cases, and community.
