Important information for NJ and PA @FDSportsbook users regarding an upcoming offline period tonight (8/16): pic.twitter.com/XWXLQJQLkh

It might have seemed like odd timing, especially since major sports were on hiatus from mid-March through July. August brought back the familiar options of MLB, NBA and NHL to PA online sportsbooks.
A full slate of action was scheduled for August 17. Early games included Tampa Bay facing off against Columbus at 3 p.m. The Cardinals and Cubs played at 4:15. The main event was a quadruple-header to start the NBA Playoffs which started at 1:30 p.m. with the Utah Jazz vs. Denver Nuggets.
FanDuel’s Director of Publicity Kevin Hennessy commented on the timing of the upgrades:
“Pennsylvania and New Jersey was the final stage in a series of these migrations. We completed West Virginia and Indiana earlier in the year. An upgrade like this takes months to prepare. Our engineering teams have worked tirelessly to get ready for Sunday and Monday. Unfortunately, we ran into issues that prolonged the outage.”
FanDuel down, Twitter ire commences
FanDuel tweeted at 1 p.m. on Monday that their “platform upgrades” were continuing. They added that any customer who was affected by the outage and lost money on previously submitted entries for the day’s impacted contests will have their net losses refunded. The large majority were PA and NJ users.
Sportsbook users took to Twitter to express their displeasure over the timing of the upgrade and the delays.

FanDuel PA and NJ platform upgrades
The key purpose of FanDuel’s platform upgrade was migrating account and wallet functions in order for customers to have a single login and one wallet. FanDuel users in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will now have one login and wallet for their FanDuel sportsbook, online casino and DFS accounts. Winnings are also accessible across products. In addition, there is a single view of balances, transaction history and game play.
“The user experience of our platforms have been significantly improved for customers that choose to play on multiple products,” said Hennessy.
Hennessy said a small number of users in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with both fantasy and sportsbook accounts require additional security to fully merge their accounts.
“As a result, some of these users did not see their up-to-date account in our fantasy interface. To be clear, all user information, balances, pending bets and contest entries are secure and up to date. We expect to fully verify and update the account interface of users affected in this manner very soon.”
Logging in
When logging into FanDuel, here is what you may see now:
FanDuel stopped working on the day where it's used the most. On Sunday afternoon, there were nearly 3,000 reports of the daily fantasy sports and online sportsbook site being down. The company's customer support Twitter account announced the stat provider was down and were working on the issue.
'Our stat provider is currently experiencing a major service disruption,' FD Customer Support wrote on Twitter. 'This may result in delays to in-game live scoring, however all stats will be updated prior to settlement of contests. We apologize for any inconvenience!' On Sunday night, FD Customer Support announced it has found the problem and thanked everyone for their patience.
'We appreciate everyone's continued patience during our stats provider's Live Scoring outages this weekend,' the tweet read. 'They have identified the cause and are working diligently to restore service. We recognize the importance of live scoring to the DFS experience.' FanDuel was founded in 2009 and fans used the site to play daily fantasy games so they can win money. The site also allows sports betting in the states where sports gambling is legal. There are millions of FanDuel users, which meant there were a lot of unhappy people on Sunday, which had a full slate of NFL games, the start of the American League Championship Series in baseball and Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Following resolution of these issues (expected Mon 10/12), We will credit a 50% net lossback across impacted slates (where net losses above $10; paid as site credit; max $100 credit). Any user not credited under the lossback will receive a voucher to next week's Sunday Million.
— FD Customer Support (@FanDuel_Support) October 12, 2020Wow @FanDuel is still down? Smh
— AntiBreakNate (@Mdnate) October 12, 2020Our stats provider is still experiencing a major service disruption. We are working with them to have all player's scores available and finalized as soon as possible. We will provide any updates here as they happen, and once again appreciate everyone's patience.
— FD Customer Support (@FanDuel_Support) October 12, 2020prevnextStill no fix. #FanDuel where is the sense of urgency ? What the hell is going on !? #FanDuelDown get this trending. @DraftKings is clearly the better app/platform.
— P (@Let_There_Be_Me) October 12, 2020FanDuel live scoring is STILL DOWN. Lol.
— Simon Shark Coochie Lover Phoenix (@DJGeminiLyfe) October 12, 2020@FanDuel How is your site still down?!!

#FanDuelDown this company is still down and hasn't bothered contacted their customers on how they plan to remedy this situation! They ruined my day but I'm small player, can't imagine how the ppl that play thousands of$$ r feeling! What an awful way 2 do biz!
— Mike Cohen (@mikecv2k) October 12, 2020I would think reliability and accuracy would be your two most important attributes. You apparently don't have that. How can you be trusted unless you make good on everyone since you have been down.
— Madipup Sports (@madipuppy17) October 12, 2020Just wanted to provide another update (since you guys won’t) for everyone using your service. It’s still down. What an embarrassment. Put my funds back so I can over hop over to @DraftKings for the Braves & Dodgers game tonight.
— Matthew Smith (@MatthewJSmith47) October 12, 2020prevnextFanduel has been down as well. Fantrax isn't the only client that uses this stat provider.
— James Osteen (@jamesosteen1984) October 12, 2020@FanDuel_Support how is Yahoo, ESPN, AND NFL live scoring still up but y'all's stat provider still down? Now would be a good time to switch providers or procure a backup, sheesh. Now it's smelling like a hack.
— Jon 🤘🏿🧢 (@JonPCole) October 12, 2020Haven't played on @FanDuel in a long time (- free money they give me). Yday's handling of events is just reinforcement of that decision.
BUT if you keep playing there, they'll keep making poor decisions bc you've proved to them that they can treat you like💩& you'll stay.

— Dave Lewis (@Dav_Lewi) October 12, 2020@FanDuel_Support still no stats you guys took peoples money knowing it was down and your solution to it is trash. You lost a lot of people with this one!

And still #FanDuelDown
How is this possible?
😡
Big power flex by FanDuel. Showing us just how weak we really are. #FanDuel#FanDuelDown
— Ricky Bias (@rickyb8782) October 12, 2020You've got to be kidding me. How us it still down? When sleepers stats were screwed up in week 1, they got that shit fixed in two hours tops. On top of that you're screwing everyone out of their money. You just lost a lot of customers and that's your fault. No customer service.
— Ashley (@BlueMonkey1434) October 12, 2020I'm surprised I haven't seen more complaints from the #DFS community about @FanDuel live scoring being down all day Sunday and still not resolved this a.m. Must be a normal thing for them.#FanDuel
— Jim Le Moine (@JimmieKrackKorn) October 12, 2020prevnextPerhaps there should be a “back up plan” should their stats provider go down. Morons.
— EDDIII (@EddieDeMarino) October 12, 2020Ugh. This is the biggest @FanDuel day that I've ever had. Of course the site has been down since this morning... 😐
— 𝙅𝙚𝙛𝙛 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚👖🎉 (@PantsPartyRadio) October 12, 2020Come on @FanDuel. What in the world? You’ve been down for scoring all day.
