FanDuel Racing Outage Disrupts Kentucky Derby Day Betting

The glitch hits a peak wagering day expected to draw about $349 million.

Overview

  • FanDuel Racing said Saturday it was experiencing intermittent problems that hit deposits, account balances, and wagers on both TVG and FanDuel Racing.
  • Users had reported trouble for hours before the acknowledgment, with complaints about failed location checks, zeroed balances, and blocked bets logged by outage tracker StatusGator.
  • Some customers saw a “temporarily unavailable” error while others could still place bets, and the company gave no timeline for a fix.
  • Frustrated bettors posted on X about missing wagers on Derby Day, with some calling for investigations and others saying they could not view placed bets.
  • USA TODAY noted options such as TwinSpires, DraftKings, and BetMGM Racing, underscoring how bettors often turn to rival apps when an advanced‑deposit wagering platform stumbles on high‑traffic race days.
