"Each year all winners who have won $600 or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to FanDuel. These details will be used to allow FanDuel to comply with tax regulations and may be shared with appropriate tax authorities. You, not FanDuel, are responsible for filing and paying applicable state and federal taxes on any winnings. FanDuel does not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in this agreement or on the Service be construed as tax advice. By agreeing to these Terms, you are consenting to electronic delivery of all informational tax forms such as Form 1099 and Form W-2G.— Excerpt from FanDuel's FanDuel Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision reflects IRS reporting obligations under applicable US tax law for gaming platforms, including the requirement to issue Form 1099 or Form W-2G for qualifying winnings. The collection and storage of Social Security numbers engages state data security statutes, including those in California, New York, and Massachusetts, which impose specific obligations on entities that collect Social Security numbers. Electronic delivery of tax forms is governed by IRS e-delivery requirements and must satisfy applicable consent standards. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The collection of Social Security numbers from a large consumer base creates meaningful data security and breach notification exposure. The IRS has specific requirements for electronic delivery consent that may impose additional obligations beyond the general Terms of Use consent mechanism used here. JURISDICTION FLAGS: State Social Security number protection statutes in California, New York, and Massachusetts impose specific restrictions on collection, use, and storage of SSNs. The adequacy of the general Terms of Use as a consent mechanism for electronic tax form delivery should be evaluated against IRS guidance on e-delivery. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party tax reporting or compliance vendors who receive Social Security numbers under this provision should be subject to appropriate data processing agreements and security requirements consistent with applicable state data protection law. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that the electronic delivery consent mechanism satisfies IRS requirements and that users are informed of their right to request paper forms if applicable. Data retention and security practices for Social Security numbers should be reviewed against applicable state statutes and breach notification requirements.
