How to Cancel FanDuel & Close Your Account in 2026

Updated February 2026 • Difficulty: Easy

⚠️ Withdraw your balance BEFORE closing your account. Any remaining funds may be forfeited once the account is closed. Process withdrawals first and wait for them to clear.

Log in at fanduel.com
Go to Account → Withdraw
Withdraw your entire balance
Wait for the withdrawal to process (1-5 business days depending on method)

Step 2: Close Your Account

Go to Account → Settings
Scroll to Close Account
Select a reason and confirm
Your account will be deactivated

Self-Exclusion (If You Need Help)

If you're closing your account because of gambling concerns, FanDuel offers self-exclusion options:

Temporary self-exclusion: 72 hours, 1 week, 1 month, or 6 months
Permanent self-exclusion: Cannot be reversed — your account is permanently banned
State self-exclusion: Contact your state gaming commission for a statewide ban across all platforms

🆘 National Problem Gambling Helpline: Call 1-800-522-4700 (24/7, free, confidential). Text or chat available at ncpgambling.org.

Also Check: DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars

If you're closing FanDuel, audit your other sportsbook accounts too. Many people have balances sitting in 3-4 apps. Close them all and consolidate:

DraftKings — Account → Settings → Close Account
BetMGM — Contact support to close
Caesars Sportsbook — Contact support or use the app

The Hidden Cost of Sports Betting

FanDuel doesn't charge a subscription — they make money from the vig (juice) on every bet, typically 5-10% built into the odds. If you bet $100/week, you're losing an expected $5-10/week to the house edge, or $260-520/year in long-term expected losses, regardless of short-term wins.

💡 Tip: Closing your account is the only reliable way to stop. "I'll just set limits" rarely works long-term. If you're questioning whether to close, that's usually the answer.
