FanDuel Fund Withdrawal Denial Class Action Lawsuit Overview:
- Who: Paul Manganaro filed a class action lawsuit against FanDuel, Inc.
- Why: Manganaro claims FanDuel breaks the law by refusing to let bettors withdraw funds that have not been played through.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey.
FanDuel breaks the law by not allowing bettors to withdraw funds that have not been gambled or played through from their accounts, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Paul Manganaro claims FanDuel is in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act by requiring bettors to play through any deposited funds before being able to withdraw them.
Manganaro wants to represent a New Jersey class of individuals who have deposited money into FanDuel and weren’t allowed to withdraw it before playing through it first.
Manganaro says he created an account on FanDuel and deposited $500 in February “in large part due to the advertising materials indicating that consumers could easily and conveniently deposit and withdraw funds.”
FanDuel specifically advertises the ease at which bettors will be able to deposit and withdraw funds, in an effort to “induce potential consumers into signing up and placing sports betting wagers,” the class action lawsuit alleges.
Further, Manganaro argues FanDuel falsely advertises that bettors can “withdraw deposits and/or winnings at any time for any reason.”
“However, it is clear … that Defendants’ advertisements are fraudulent, misleading, and incorrect, and consumers are unable to withdraw deposited funds without betting them first,” the class action lawsuit states.
Manganaro claims that, after losing an initial $200 bet, he decided to withdraw the remaining $300 balance but was denied and told by FanDuel through email that “you can only withdraw winnings or eligible promotions.”
FanDuel ‘Illegally Holding’ Funds That Have Not Been Bet
“Defendants are currently impermissibly and illegally holding Plaintiff’s funds and refusing to return them unless and until Plaintiff bets such funds,” the class action lawsuit states.
Manganaro claims that nowhere in the terms and conditions provided by FanDuel does it state that funds placed in an account must be played through before they are able to be withdrawn.
“Prior to creating his account with FanDuel, Plaintiff was aware of the Defendants’ Terms of Use and Terms and Conditions and the advertising’s claims that he could deposit and withdraw funds from a FanDuel Sportsbook account easily and at his discretion without gambling all of his monies,” the class action lawsuit states.
Manganaro claims that, in addition to being in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, FanDuel is guilty of conspiracy, fraud and breach of contract.
Plaintiff is demanding a jury trial and requesting injunctive relief along with restitution and compensatory, treble and punitive damages for himself and all class members.
In January, FanDuel competitor DraftKings agreed to pay $325,000 to resolve claims the sports betting platform enabled problem gamblers by violating gambling laws.
FanDuel had previously agreed to donate $375,000 to a gambling addiction organization to resolve the same claims in July 2021.

I put myself on a self exclusion on FanDuel last year till March this year and I started betting again in August and i out of of nowhere they disabled my account without notice and will not let me withdraw my funds that I deposited and have in the account not used . If I would have known this was going to happen I would have withdrawn the funds. I had current bets in play and deposited $1500 within the last 24hours that they won’t let me withdraw.

They said that they have to check with the state gambling board before anything because I may be on a longer exclusion

But isn’t that they’re problem to figure out and not take my money and not let me withdraw what I have in the account?
They are doing basically the same thing to me. They suspended my account will not let me withdraw my funds
Same here. On the same day as yours. Did you get your account back?
The blackjack game is rigged with unrealistic outcomes that are not consistent with reality. The dealer shows a large amount of times a 10, dealer to player ratio of blackjack is insane, dealer gets unrealistic 6/7 card 21’s….the amount of pushes which I’m sure fanduel considers a winning hand is alarming and unrealistic. You will send a copy paste how the casino is regulated which again seems like bs the way fanduel goes about their business.
