Contest Structure:

Welcome to the “$50K Hot Streak” promotion (“Promotion”) by FanDuel. Here are the detailed rules for the Promotion:

The Promotion begins on Monday, February 25, 2019 and ends on Monday, March 11, 2019 (the “Promotion Period”), with each day of the Promotion Period being a qualifying day (“Qualifying Day”). The Promotion will award prizes, based on a player's performance in featured “Hot Streak Eligible” fantasy contests (“Featured Contests”) he or she enters during the Promotion Period.

On each Qualifying Day during the Promotion Period, FanDuel will offer one (1) Featured Contest for users to enter. Each Featured Contest will be labeled “Hot Streak Eligible” in the lobby so user can determine which contest is part of the Promotion each Qualifying Day. There will be a total of fifteen (15) Featured Contests. Featured Contests will be a mix of single entry and multi-entry contests, and may be a fantasy golf, fantasy basketball, fantasy soccer, fantasy racing, or a fantasy hockey contest. Featured Contests will all be paid entry contests, and will be displayed in the lobby each day during the Promotion Period. Any instance of users registering multiple accounts on FanDuel in order to gain more than the maximum number of entries allowed into a Featured Contest will result in automatic disqualification from the Featured Contest and the Promotion as well as potential suspension from FanDuel.

On each Qualifying Day, if a user enters the Featured Contest and has at least one (1) entry that finishes in the top 50% of all entries in that Featured Contest, that user will earn one (1) point towards their win streak (“Win Streak”). If a user does not have at least one (1) entry that finishes in the top 50% of all entries in that Featured Contest, that user’s Win Streak will end and will reset to zero (0) at the start of the next Qualifying Day. If a user does not enter the Featured Contest on a Qualifying Day, they will not earn a point towards their Win Streak, but their Win Streak will not reset to zero (0). Users that skip a Featured Contest will not be penalized for not entering the Featured Contest, and can continue to earn points towards their Win Streak the next time they enter a Featured Contest.

At the end of the Promotion Period, the user with the longest Win Streak will win $25,000 in cash (“Grand Prize”). In the event of a tie for the Grand Prize, all tied participants, will split the cash value of the Grand Prize evenly.

Milestone Rewards

At the end of the Promotion Period, users will earn a reward based on the longest Win Streak they achieved (“Milestone Reward”). Milestone Rewards will be an entry into a private free play contest on March 12th, based on their longest streak. All Milestone Rewards are listed below:

Fanduel 50 50 Winning

Length of Streak

Reward

2 wins in a row

Entry into a $2,000 Free Play on 3/12

3 wins in a row

Entry into a $3,000 Free Play on 3/12

4 wins in a row

Entry into a $4,000 Free Play on 3/12

6 wins in a row

Entry into a $6,000 Free Play on 3/12

10 wins in a row

Entry into a $10,000 Free Play on 3/12

Users are only eligible to earn one Milestone Reward during the Promotion Period. For avoidance of doubt, if a user’s longest Win Streak was 3, they would earn the Milestone Reward for achieving 3 wins in a row, and win an entry into the $3,000 Free Play on March 12th. They would not also earn the Milestone Reward for achieving 2 wins in a row.

An Illinois bettor is suing FanDuel for allegedly displaying incorrect live betting data.

The suit was filed Tuesday in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

In it, Deerfield bettor Andrew Melnick claims FanDuel regularly showed the wrong amount of time remaining in games. He says that caused him to place bets on live totals that he wouldn’t otherwise have placed.

The Illinois sports betting market began using mobile apps in 2020.

What’s in the FanDuel suit?

Fanduel 50 50

The suit reads in part:

“After placing a number of the live Wagers, made after the start of the particular sporting events, and losing over $50, Plaintiff discovered that the purportedly real-time information provided to him on the FanDuel platform was repeatedly false and materially so.”

It said the platform frequently understated the time remaining in NCAA basketball games by 5-35%.

That made live unders appear to be a far better bet than they actually were, Melnick said.

Is there any evidence?

As evidence, the suit includes two screenshots of the New Orleans v. Incarnate Word college basketball game on FanDuel on March 1, 2021.

The first image at 8:52 pm shows six minutes left in the game. The second image, taken one minute later, shows eight minutes left in the game.

Melnick said scores were also frequently incorrect, although no further evidence is provided.

The suit goes on:

“As a result of the above-mentioned deceptive, dishonest and unfair pattern and practices of FanDuel, Plaintiff and, upon information and belief,
hundreds of thousands of other members of FanDuel, have lost millions of dollars in wagers.”

The sportsbook’s customer service did not help with the issue, Melnick said.

What does Melnick want?

The class-action suit calls for unspecified damages and wagers to be repaid to Melnick and “thousands” of others. It was filed by Chicago-based attorney Voelker Litigation Group.

The filing also calls for FanDuel to stop operating until its app accurately reflects the time remaining in a given live sporting event.

A FanDuel spokesperson did not comment on the suit when contacted by LSR.

The Flutter-owned brand is the largest US sportsbook in the market, with about 40% online share. That included more than than $6 billion in stakes at FanDuel Sportsbook in 2020.

Quick data is key for betting industry

Sports law professor Ryan Rodenberg said the suit highlighted the importance of accurate real-time data for the integrity of the betting market.

“This lawsuit also shows why a single source of real-time information has huge integrity risks,” Rodenberg said.

The NCAA of course does not have an official betting data partner. That means data scouts are likely “scouting” off the TV feed or a stream rather than being in-stadium. That can bring significant delays. COVID has arguably worsened this issue, with no fans and therefore scouts in stadiums.

What next for FanDuel case?

As for the case, the first hurdle for Melnick will be whether he can avoid the mandatory arbitration clause in the FanDuel terms of use.

Fanduel 50 50 Percent

An arbitration clause requires the parties to resolve their disputes through an arbitration process.

“There are a lot of interesting aspects to this case,” Rodenberg said. “But FanDuel will focus on the arbitration clause to try to make sure the interesting aspects never proceed.”

Saiber attorney Jeremy Kleiman also said it was difficult to predict an outcome.

“This could have been a one-time glitch with the data feed, rather than a pattern and practice of intentional deception,” Kleiman said. “It’s hard to say where this goes.”
