A FanDuel bettor was treated to the harsh news of his winnings being diverted towards child support payments in a recent surprising turn of events, at least according to a photo that has popped up on social media.

The alleged screenshot has been doing the rounds on X/Twitter and Instagram this week, although the origins are not clear.

From what we can see, it includes a supposed email from the sportsbook letting a bettor know that the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services’ Child Support Enforcement branch notified them of “an open child support debt.”

The user apparently won $1580.84 off a $2 wager, per one of the images shown below. However, FanDuel sent him an email to inform him that the sum of $1,578.84 had been debited from his account for child support purposes.

FanDuel Covers Child Support In Their User Policy

While we can’t be sure that the claims above are real, child support is covered under FanDuel’s user policy. The section of the site’s ‘Responsible Play Guide’ clearly notes that third-party exclusion or play restriction requests for a user “can be made by requestors who provide proof” that the individual is, for example, “subject to a court order requiring him or her to pay unmet child support obligations.”

The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services announced its first interception of casino winnings for a child support payment in 2011. It occurred just two days after the launch of a pilot program. A state law was passed a year later which makes any winnings above $1,200 subject to such debt collection.

Can’t feel sorry for the dude if this is true. At least his kid(s) will be pleased.
