Analysis
FanDuel's Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access and use the Service, including paid contest and deposit features. The document requires binding individual arbitration as the exclusive dispute resolution mechanism for all claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement, prohibits class or representative actions, and limits FanDuel's liability to users for any cause to the amount the user paid for general use of the Service. Users are subject to a one-year contractual limitations period for all claims, a $2.99 monthly inactivity fee with no stated cap, geographic restrictions on access to paid features in six specified states, and a broad indemnification obligation running in FanDuel's favor. FanDuel reserves the right at its sole discretion to modify or replace the Terms at any time, with the exception of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions.
What this means for you
As a FanDuel user, you are subject to a monthly $2.99 inactivity fee that draws down your account balance with no stated cap, and you cannot deposit funds or enter paid contests if you are physically located in Hawaii, Connecticut, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, or Washington at the time of use. Your ability to recover from FanDuel for any harm is capped at the total amount you paid FanDuel for general use of the Service, which may be zero if you paid nothing. All covered disputes must be resolved through individual binding arbitration, not court, and any court claim that does proceed must be filed within one year and heard exclusively in New York, New York. One concrete action available to you: you may opt out of the binding arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to FanDuel within 30 days of March 17, 2026 or your first use of the Service, whichever is later.

What changed
FanDuel updated its Terms of Use on July 17, 2026 to expand geographic restrictions on fantasy sports participation. The updated terms now prohibit participation in the Canadian province of Alberta in addition to Ontario, whereas the previous version only excluded Ontario. Additionally, the terms reorganized language around Louisiana parish-level restrictions and state-level restrictions on deposits and contest entry.
Why this matters
The updated terms now prohibit FanDuel Fantasy participation in Alberta, Canada, effective July 17, 2026. Previously, only Ontario was excluded from Canadian service. Residents of Alberta who had existing accounts may no longer be able to enter contests or deposit funds for new games.

What changed
FanDuel modified Section 5.6 of its Terms of Use on June 17, 2026. The prior version stated 'Full offer details available here' followed by a sentence describing bonus offerings to new depositing users and for marketing purposes. The updated version removes that descriptive sentence, leaving only 'Full offer details available here' as a standalone statement. The operational difference is that the terms no longer explicitly describe bonus eligibility or marketing-related bonus offerings within this section; users are now directed entirely to external offer details rather than receiving in-terms description.
Why this matters
The updated terms no longer provide an explicit statement within the Terms of Use describing FanDuel's bonus offerings to newly depositing users and for marketing purposes. Instead, Section 5.6 directs readers to external offer details. This is a structural change to how bonus information is disclosed rather than a change to bonus eligibility, terms, or conditions themselves. Users seeking specifics about bonus programs must follow the external link rather than finding that information within the main terms document.
