Responsible Gaming Policy

Overview

At FastDraft, we prioritize creating a secure, equitable, and responsible gaming environment. Our platform is crafted with the intent to allow users to participate in a manner that suits their financial capabilities and comfort levels. We take the concept of responsible gaming with utmost seriousness. In the following sections, we detail the array of tools and resources provided to our users aimed at curbing problem gaming behaviors.

To help you navigate your gaming activities in a responsible manner, we offer a variety of proactive tools and supportive measures. FastDraft empowers users with the ability to impose sensible gaming limits on themselves. Should you find yourself investing excessive amounts of money, entering too many contests, or allocating too much for entry fees, we offer the flexibility to set limits on your gaming activities. These self-imposed boundaries are designed to help you maintain control and continue enjoying the games within your own set limits.

Self-Exclusion

If you simply need a break without selecting a specific self-restriction period, you can activate a self-imposed hiatus through the Self-Exclusion and Limits on Play section of the App. This action is irreversible during the set period. During self-exclusion we will use reasonable efforts not to send you any marketing material, and we will not accept any deposits or entries from you. You may not open a new account during this time. We will not reopen any self-excluded account; however, after the expiry of the exclusion period you may contact us and request that your account be reopened.

Account Integrity

Our Terms of Use limit you to one account only. If we discover that you have created an additional account—whether to circumvent self-restriction or for any other reason—we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the account and otherwise restrict your ability to access the Services.

State Exclusion Lists

Upon receiving the most recent exclusion list for Arizona, Maryland, Michigan and Pennsylvania we promptly disseminate it to our technical team to ensure that individuals listed are promptly added to our database. These updates are swiftly implemented within a 48-hour window to ensure compliance. Concurrently, these flagged users are systematically removed from any associated email lists using their name and their email address. To maintain compliance and safeguard against unauthorized access.

Any person identified by a gaming board or agency as excluded is permanently prohibited from creating a FastDraft player account or entering or participating in any fantasy contest unless the Board or agency rescinds the exclusion. Upon receiving exclusion notice from state agencies, FastDraft will immediately suspend, close, or restrict the individual’s account so that no new deposits or entries can be made. Any pending contest entries will be cancelled and the corresponding entry fees refunded or seized as directed by the agencies, and any remaining account funds will be returned to the individual or handled according to the agencies instructions. FastDraft maintains commercially reasonable procedures and internal controls to monitor agency notices, prevent prohibited participation, and ensure timely execution of all required account actions.
