FanDuel experienced a major outage on Saturday, with over 1,000 users complaining about issues on Downdetector. The problem affected FanDuel Racing and TVG, causing frustration among users on social media.

Users took to social media to express their disappointment, with one person writing, 'FanDuel racing is down. Embarrassing.' Another user added, 'Biggest day of the year and it's down.'

Those who tried to place bets on the Kentucky Derby reported difficulties, including incorrect balance displays and issues with cancelling bets on scratched horses.

One user described their experience as 'pretty wild,' saying, 'It's the one time of the year that I will bet on horses.'

FanDuel has issued a statement, saying, 'We're currently experiencing intermittent issues affecting deposits, account balances, and wagers on TVG and FanDuel Racing. Our team is actively working to resolve this as quickly as possible.'

Users can try force closing the app, clearing cache/data, toggling location services, or restarting their device to fix the 'temporarily unavailable' issue. However, if the problem persists, it's likely due to an issue on FanDuel's side.
