FanDuel has announced it will no longer be accepting credit card deposits in the US from 2 March.
The Flutter-owned operator’s decision follows a similar move made by DraftKings in the summer of 2025. In both cases, the restriction does not apply to users based in Canada.
When DraftKings implemented its ban, the company expressed a desire to “avoid cash advance fees and higher interest rates”, and to protect customers from overspending.
DraftKings made the change soon after it was fined $450,000 by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission for accepting tens of thousands in credit card deposits from players in the state in 2023 and 2024.
Prior to FanDuel’s change, the operator already imposed restrictions on credit card activity in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Vermont in line with those states’ existing regulations.
Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Oregon, and Rhode Island have all also banned sports betting credit card deposits.
A FanDuel spokesperson said: “Over the last few months, FanDuel has been evaluating the payment methods that we offer to customers and made the decision to remove credit cards as an option for our sportsbook, casino and racing product in the United States.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts posted on Facebook in response to FanDuel’s decision: “Last week, I asked sports betting companies about Americans getting scammed by credit card companies when placing sports bets – to the tune of a $10 junk fee just to fund a $20 bet.
“Glad to see FanDuel take action to protect consumers from these junk fees, joining DraftKings. The rest of the industry should follow suit.”
