ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes FanDuel's authority to enforce conduct standards through account suspension, prize withholding, and service termination based on its unilateral assessment of user behavior, and allocates to the platform the discretion to repurpose forfeited prizes toward compliance and risk management operations.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operate under terms that permit FanDuel to deny prize awards, terminate account access, and retain withheld prizes based on FanDuel's sole discretionary determination of improper conduct, without specifying objective standards or advance notice requirements. The standards for disqualification (improper, unfair, fraudulent, or detrimental conduct) are defined by FanDuel's assessment rather than predetermined metrics.
