FanDuel does accept credit and debit cards for payment, and you can add or remove your credit card from your FanDuel account. Adding your card to FanDuel or any other online platform for payments carries some potential risks.
Why You Should Remove Card from Fanduel
Here are some considerations:
1. Security: While reputable platforms like FanDuel take measures to protect your information, there’s always a risk of data breaches or unauthorized access. If you’re concerned about the security of your financial information, you may prefer not to add your card.
2. Unauthorized Charges: If someone gains access to your FanDuel account or if there’s a billing error, there’s a risk of unauthorized charges being made to your card. While you can dispute these charges with your bank or credit card company, it can still be a hassle to resolve.
3. Overspending: Having your card linked to your FanDuel account can make it easier to spend money on the platform without considering your budget. This could lead to overspending if you’re not careful with your betting or fantasy sports activities.
4. Addiction Concerns: For some individuals, the convenience of having a card linked to their FanDuel account exacerbates issues related to problem gambling or addiction. If you’re concerned about these risks, it may be better to avoid linking your card.
However, if you’re comfortable with the security measures in place and trust the platform, adding your card may not be a significant concern. However, if you have reservations or prefer to use alternative payment methods, that’s entirely understandable as well.
