FanDuel Racing - Bet on Horses

TLDR: Fan Duel happily took my money before locking me out of my account (and deposited funds). Customer support could not give me access to the account. I tried to use Fan Duel Racing to bet on horse races while on vacation in California. When I initially set up the account, everything went fine and I was allowed to deposit money from my bank account. As soon as the transaction went through, I was logged out of my account and told that I could not access my account because sports betting is illegal in my state of residence, regardless of where I was currently geographically located. That meant I had zero access to the funds I had just put in. After several weeks of attempting to get help from very unhelpful customer support, I finally just disputed the charge through my bank, since I was unable to access the agreed upon services. Fan Duel then sent my issue to a collections agency. I ended up just paying the collections agency to avoid the whole mess, so I never got my money back.

I’ve tried them all and this is literally the worst app I’ve ever used. Signs you out every 5 minutes or so, was just in the middle of a race when it said Face ID required and went to the Home Screen, they try to add little animations when you click on a horse rather than using there time for for more racking info….. pace, na that doesn’t matter

I have never tried to bet on horses before but during this pandemic I’m trying anything now. The first big plus was the easy signup and great first deposit bonus that was very friendly for someone that only wants to put in $50. I quickly have become hooked on betting the constant stream of races that are always going on. It has a tutorial to get you started and a pretty clean interface. A few things that would make this 5 stars for me. A little more info on tutorials like for international bets and easier way to learn more about the tracks or what the importance is of things the tracks show on their broadcasts. I feel like the odds don’t always update the fastest. My biggest complaint is that the broadcast blocks information on betting on my iPad so that I can’t see anything without turning the broadcast off.
