FanDuel gives you two ways to stop using your account: temporary suspension or permanent deletion
If you want to close your FanDuel account, you have a choice. You can suspend your account, which pauses it temporarily and lets you reactivate it later. Or you can delete it permanently, which removes your account and data from FanDuel's system. Deletion is irreversible — once it's gone, you cannot recover the account or its history.
The deletion process itself takes a few minutes on the website or app, but FanDuel may take up to 30 days to fully remove your data from their servers. During that window, your account is closed to you but still exists in their system. If you have an outstanding balance or pending withdrawals, FanDuel will process those before completing the deletion.
Key Takeaways
- You can delete your FanDuel account through the Account Settings menu on the website or mobile app without calling customer service.
- Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, so read any records you need before you start the process.
- FanDuel will process any remaining balance in your account and may take up to 30 days to fully remove your data.
- If you want to pause your account instead of deleting it, use the suspension option, which you can reverse later.
How to delete your account on the FanDuel website
Log into your FanDuel account on the website. Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner, or look for your username in the top right and click it. Select Account Settings.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Account Settings page. You will see a section labeled Account Closure or Close Account. Click the button that says Delete Account or Close Account Permanently. FanDuel will ask you to confirm your choice and may ask why you are leaving — this is optional. Click the final confirmation button. Your account is now closed.
How to delete your account on the FanDuel mobile app
Open the FanDuel app and log in. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right of the screen. Scroll down and tap Account Settings or Settings.
Look for the Account Closure or Close Account section near the bottom. Tap Delete Account or Close Account Permanently. Confirm your choice when prompted. The app will show a message confirming that your account is closed.
What happens to your money and data after deletion
If you have cash in your FanDuel account when you delete it, FanDuel will send that money to the bank account or payment method you used to deposit it. This process can take 3 to 5 business days, depending on your bank. If you have pending withdrawals, FanDuel will complete those first before closing the account.
Any open bets or contests will be settled according to FanDuel's rules. Winning bets will be paid out; losing bets will be closed. Once your account is deleted, you cannot view your betting history, account statements, or any other records through FanDuel. If you need documentation for tax purposes or personal records, read or screenshot what you need before you delete.
The difference between suspending and deleting your account
Suspension pauses your account temporarily. You cannot place bets or access your money, but the account still exists. You can reactivate it anytime by logging back in. Suspension is useful if you want a break but might return later.
Deletion removes your account permanently. You cannot reactivate it, and FanDuel will not restore it. If you change your mind later, you would have to create a new account from scratch. Deletion is the right choice only if you are certain you will not use FanDuel again.
If you cannot find the delete option
The account closure section may be in different locations depending on which version of the website or app you are using. If you cannot find it in Account Settings, try scrolling all the way to the bottom of the settings page — it is often the last option listed.
If the delete button is still not visible, you may have an outstanding balance or a pending withdrawal. FanDuel requires these to be resolved before deletion. Check your account balance and make sure no bets are still open. If you still cannot find the option after checking these, contact FanDuel customer service through the app or website chat. They can walk you through the process or delete the account for you if there is a technical issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a deletion after I confirm it?
No. Once you confirm deletion, the process cannot be stopped. FanDuel may take up to 30 days to fully remove your data, but your account is closed when ready and you cannot reactivate it. If you think you might return, use suspension instead.
Will deleting my FanDuel account remove it from my bank's records?
No. Your bank will still show the deposits and withdrawals you made to and from FanDuel. Deleting your FanDuel account does not erase your banking history. If you need to dispute a transaction, you can still do that through your bank even after your FanDuel account is gone.
What if I have a promotional bonus I haven't used yet?
Unused bonuses are forfeited when you delete your account. If you have a bonus that has not been played through, you will lose it. Use or decline the bonus before you delete if you want to avoid losing it.
How long does it take for my money to arrive after I delete my account?
FanDuel processes withdrawals to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days. If you used a debit card or bank account, the money goes back there. If you used a third-party payment service, it may take longer depending on that service's processing time.
Can I delete my account if I have an outstanding balance?
You cannot delete your account if you owe FanDuel money. If you have a negative balance, you must deposit funds to bring it to zero before deletion. Contact FanDuel customer service if you are unsure whether your account has a balance.
