- Downdetector reports peaked above 7,000 complaints as users saw internal server errors and sudden logouts.
- FanDuel said it was investigating with its service provider after stating the problem appeared tied to AWS, Amazon’s cloud computing platform.
- Roughly an hour after the disruption began, service returned for many users, though some still faced errors and reports fell to about 2,600.
- The breakdown followed a separate Kentucky Derby day failure last week and fueled fresh calls on social media for a boycott.
