DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts: which states they are in

DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts are the sportsbooks’ federally regulated prediction-market apps. DraftKings lists 48 states; FanDuel offers financial contracts in all 50 states and sports contracts only in 18 states without legal online sports betting. What each covers, who runs the contracts, and the states to watch.

DraftKings Predictions

DraftKings’ own update on availability, last revised 22 July 2026, lists 48 states; Maine and New Hampshire are not among them, and the service is not available on tribal land (DraftKings). Its map divides states into those with all markets, financial markets only, and none; check the app for which applies where you are. DraftKings’ own pages say anyone 18 or older who passes identity checks can join, and that its markets cover sports, crypto, finance, politics and more.

DraftKings Predictions is a standalone app. Its quarterly report says it launched in December 2025 as an introducing broker and has operated as a futures commission merchant since August 2026, with contracts on Railbird Exchange, a CFTC-designated exchange doing business as DKeX (DraftKings 10-Q). Our review: DraftKings Predictions.

FanDuel Predicts

Flutter, FanDuel’s owner, reports that “FanDuel Predicts non-sports contract are available in all 50 states”, while sports contracts are offered “in 18 non-sportsbook states including California, Texas and Florida” (Flutter 10-Q, Q3 2026). FanDuel has said that as states legalise online sports betting, Predicts will stop offering sports contracts there, so the sports list shrinks rather than grows.

Accounts are opened with FanDuel Prediction Markets LLC, a registered futures commission merchant, and the contracts are listed by CME Group and Crypto.com’s derivatives exchanges. It is a separate app from FanDuel Sportsbook. Our review: FanDuel Predicts; current offers: FanDuel Predicts promo code.

States to watch

  • Nevada: in November 2025 the Gaming Control Board said FanDuel and DraftKings intended to engage in unlawful activities related to sports event contracts; FanDuel surrendered its Nevada licences and DraftKings withdrew its applications (Nevada notice 2025-90). DraftKings’ July list still includes Nevada, so check the app.
  • States with legal sportsbooks: FanDuel does not offer sports contracts in them, and DraftKings may offer financial markets only.
  • States suing or ordering other prediction markets to stop, such as Ohio, Utah and Michigan, are in our regulation tracker.

Every platform’s status in your state: availability by state. Both operators’ own availability pages blocked automated reading when we checked on 12 November 2026, so this lesson relies on their company filings and news pages; the app is the final word.
