Sports prediction markets: the best apps and sites

Every scored platform that lists sports markets, in one list. They are not the same product: some are CFTC-regulated exchanges and brokers selling event contracts to US customers, others are offshore on-chain order books, and the difference decides who can use them and how a dispute is settled.

Ranked by Editor Score, with availability for your region on every entry. Sports contracts are where the legal picture moves fastest — several US states have challenged them — so check the review before you fund an account.

New to sports contracts? Start with prediction markets vs sports betting; for phone apps specifically, see the best prediction market apps.

Live prices from the exchanges: Super Bowl odds and NBA championship odds. On 5 November 2026 the CFTC told exchanges to stop blocking states, while courts in Nevada, Washington and Michigan require it; what that means for sports traders.

Ranked platforms

  1. Kalshi

    7.7/10preliminary
    Regulated✅ Available

    KalshiEX is a CFTC-designated contract market and its Member Agreement names no US state as restricted. State court orders block some contract categories in Nevada, Washington and Michigan; elsewhere its contracts are available. Kalshi is in litigation with about 20 states, so this can change quickly.

  2. OG

    7.1/10preliminary
    Regulated✅ Available

    Help centre: “currently available in all U.S. states”, though some event contracts may be unavailable in some states (not named). App Store: “Available in all 50 US states”. New York has separate funding and portfolio articles.

  3. Novig

    6.5/10preliminary
    Regulated✅ Available

    “Novig is available nationwide except Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and Ohio” (Novig’s state page, updated 4 November 2026); its help centre still lists only Arizona, Nevada and Michigan. Eligibility is based on physical location when you trade, and users must be 21 or older.

  4. DraftKings Predictions

    6.3/10preliminary
    Broker✅ Available

    DraftKings' own availability page (updated 2026-07-22) lists 48 states for Predictions, plus DC and US territories. Access depends on physical location and excludes tribal land. Sports markets vary by state; the breakdown is shown only as an image that could not be read. The official availability page and Predictions Terms returned 403.

  5. FanDuel Predicts

    6.2/10preliminary
    Broker✅ Available

    FanDuel Predicts is available in all 50 states and DC. Users must be 18+ and verify their identity. It is not available on or near tribal land.

  6. Regulated✅ Available

    Prediction Trading (and Sports Event Trading) is a CFTC-regulated feature of the Crypto.com App, offered through Crypto.com | Derivatives North America. The help centre says it is available in the US only.

  7. Alpha Arcade

    5.1/10preliminary
    Crypto✅ Available

    Not on Alpha Arcade’s list of restricted jurisdictions. Absence from the list does not by itself establish that an individual may use the platform.

  8. Delphi

    3.5/10preliminary
    Crypto✅ Available

    Not on Delphi’s list of restricted jurisdictions. Absence from the list does not by itself establish that an individual may use the platform.

  9. Polymarket US

    7.3/10preliminary
    Regulated⚠️ Restrictions

    QCX LLC publishes no list of eligible or excluded states. A Nevada court granted a preliminary injunction against QCX LLC d/b/a Polymarket US on 29 May 2026 (Nevada Gaming Control Board). Missouri's Attorney General has sent a cease-and-desist over sports contracts, and New York has announced a lawsuit; neither state is marked closed because the operator has not said it geoblocks them.

  10. Polymarket

    6.9/10preliminary
    Crypto⚠️ Restrictions

    The international polymarket.com site is closed to US residents: no deposits and no trades. The help centre lists the US as blocked and the API docs list it as close-only. US residents are sent to the separate Polymarket US app, run by QCX LLC (a CFTC DCM). Polymarket US state-level eligibility was not verified because its ToS page loads its text client-side.

  11. ProphetX

    5.9/10preliminary
    Regulated⚠️ Restrictions

    ProphetX says it is “available nationwide” but publishes no excluded-state list; its help centre says access “is restricted from certain locations and IP addresses”. Connecticut reportedly ordered it to stop offering sports contracts to residents (September 2026); the order could not be read on the regulator’s site.

  12. Underdog Predictions

    5.3/10preliminary
    Regulated⚠️ Restrictions

    Only in states where Underdog Predict operates: "Must be 18+ and present in a state where Underdog Predict operates". The operator's state list (help centre) could not be read, so other states are unconfirmed.

4. DraftKings Predictions

6.3Prelim

Strengths

  • The most thorough per-contract contingency drafting of the US brokers — a named source agency, a 48-hour clock and an explicit revision rule
  • Broker and exchange both verifiable on the regulators’ own records
  • Specifications are fixed as of the first day of trading, so terms cannot move under an open position
  • A flat $0.01 per-contract fee rather than a formula that peaks at the midpoint
  • Certifications are openly fetchable with no login

Watch out

  • Its own Rule 9.5(b) promises published disciplinary notices and no such page exists
  • Certifications defer the decisive parameters to “the Market Specifications”, a term the rulebook never defines
  • Markets trade with no matching certification — hundreds of soccer contracts settled on a day when no soccer certification exists
  • Older generic certifications reserve an override “for any reason or no reason”
  • The rulebook names no regulator as a customer remedy for a disputed outcome
  • Every DraftKings web address blocks our fetcher, so we have never read a live contract page

6.2Prelim

Strengths

  • Contracts are listed and settled by CME, an established derivatives exchange, under a published rulebook chapter
  • Per-product contingencies are concrete and state what happens to an open position
  • The arbitration agreement expressly preserves CFTC reparations under Section 14
  • Exchange documents are public through CFTC filings and readable without an account

Watch out

  • For every sports, entertainment and awards contract, CME’s certified table gives the settlement source as “Fanduel” — the firm distributing the contract
  • No document describes how that data is produced or what happens if it is wrong
  • FanDuel’s public Predicts pages never say who determines outcomes, never cite the governing chapter and never mention the source
  • A catch-all lets the exchange set a settlement price in “sole discretion”
  • One sports contingency changed from cancelling positions to liquidating them at fair value while keeping the same label
  • No determination log is required or published anywhere

5.8Prelim

Strengths

  • Contract specifications are filed with the CFTC, so they need no account to read and cannot be quietly edited
  • The elections contract names fourteen source agencies individually rather than gesturing at “official sources”
  • The delay contingency is written out: settlement waits until the source releases the outcome
  • Sits inside an app many US readers already have, with no separate account to open

Watch out

  • We could not locate CDNA on the CFTC’s own Designated Contract Market register, so no licence is claimed on this page
  • The CDNA rulebook, which the filings defer to for jurisdiction and enforcement, could not be retrieved
  • The fourteen source agencies apply “as determined by the Exchange”, so the authoritative outlet is chosen after the fact
  • No public record of past determinations was found
  • Available in the United States only

1.7Prelim

Strengths

  • Trading mechanics are visible in the application itself
  • The venue states its own scope: permissionless prediction markets on Solana and Eclipse
  • Featured markets display their own liquidity figures, so the depth is visible before you connect
  • Runs on Solana and Eclipse, so settlement and balances are on a public chain rather than an operator’s ledger
  • No terms means no clause asking you to waive recourse — thin comfort, but several venues here do ask

Watch out

  • Nothing is published about how markets resolve: eleven likely paths 404 and six documentation subdomains do not resolve
  • Market content sits behind Connect Wallet, so per-market rules cannot be read before connecting
  • No terms, no privacy policy and no named operator
  • Featured markets showed $38 and $503 of liquidity — at that depth a position of any size is the market
  • Third-party descriptions of an oracle are uncorroborated by anything the venue publishes, so they are not used here

Strengths

  • Gaming licence verified on the Anjouan register (ALSI-202508043-FI2, valid to 28 Aug 2027)
  • Prediction markets on politics, economics and crypto alongside a deep sportsbook
  • Deposits and withdrawals on 23 networks in 50+ cryptocurrencies, from a few cents
  • Smart-contract audits by CertiK and Pessimistic; bonus terms published in full

Watch out

  • No identity checks (“No KYC”): fewer protections if an account or funds are disputed
  • Offshore gambling licence only — no financial or derivatives regulator oversees it
  • Closed to the US and about 25 other countries; illegal to use in many others
  • About 7% margin in sampled sports odds; prediction-market fees are not published
  • A deposit must be wagered before it can be withdrawn; sports wins capped at $5,000
  • Disputes go to LCIA arbitration in London, with a class-action waiver

Strengths

  • The widest category set of any venue added to this site in September, including hourly crypto markets
  • Books were genuinely two-sided across four categories at once when we read them
  • Third in the category by reported volume, behind only Kalshi and Polymarket
  • Publishes concrete dispute terms — a window, a stake formula and the consequence of losing
  • Names its operator in its terms of use

Watch out

  • Closed to the United States, the United Kingdom and all of the European Union
  • The primary resolver is “Opinion AI”, with no account of its inputs, model or sources
  • The review step is written with no actor: who performs it is never identified
  • Whether the team can resolve or override a market itself is not addressed anywhere
  • Only one dispute is permitted per resolution, so the first challenger spends the market’s single appeal
  • No stated jurisdiction of incorporation, licence or regulator

Strengths

  • Yield paid on USDT collateral while it sits against an open position — unique among the venues we cover
  • Six of the seven categories we track, the widest verified breadth of any venue we built from primary sources
  • Names its operating entity, which most on-chain venues do not

Watch out

  • Its own documentation describes two incompatible resolution mechanisms, both live on the same day
  • The developer page for the deployed oracle states “No bonding or dispute mechanism (simplified trust model)”
  • Admins can flag questions for emergency resolution, documented in developer pages rather than in the user terms
  • A role holder can settle Chainlink market rounds manually
  • No licence, no regulator, and no stated jurisdiction of incorporation

Watch out

  • The entire documented settlement process is one sentence: the team resolves
  • No oracle, no challenge window, no bond and no escalation anywhere in nineteen documentation pages
  • The only route offered to anyone disputing a settlement is a support ticket to the party that made it
  • The deployed contract carries an admin function that writes outcomes directly without calling an oracle
  • Myriad’s own commissioned audit says role holders have “control over which side wins”
  • The terms of use disclose no such role and reserve no such discretion

  • Full market criteria are served to an unauthenticated API request

Watch out

  • The CFTC register entry reads Pending, not Designated — an application confers nothing
  • Settlement is centralised: Pyth resolves most markets, the Limitless team resolves the rest
  • No challenge window, no bond and no escalation; the documented remedy is an email

Strengths

  • Crypto markets resolve on a 15-minute TWAP with Pyth primary and Switchboard as a named fallback — manipulation-resistant by design
  • Real-world events require a 2-of-3 operator multisig rather than a single key
  • Publishes terms at all, which several venues in this cohort do not
  • Documents a 24-to-48-hour flagging route for incorrect resolutions

Watch out

  • The terms grant no right to flag: resolution criteria are “final and binding” and you waive claims over data sources, delays and voiding
  • Space “may cancel or void a Market at any time” and may extend the resolution period at sole discretion
  • It reserves the right to modify the underlying smart contracts at any time, which sits above the TWAP design

How to choose

A sports contract is priced like a probability, not like a bookmaker’s odds: a 60¢ YES pays $1 if the team wins, and the platform’s cut is a fee on the trade rather than a margin built into the price. Compare the fee on the contract size you actually trade, and how much you can buy at the quoted price — thin books move against a large order.

If you already bet with a sportsbook, our guide to how prediction markets differ from sportsbooks explains what changes: you trade against other users, you can sell before the game ends, and the settlement rules are written into each contract.

Starting from a point spread rather than a price? The point spread calculator turns an NFL or college football spread into the win probability it implies and the contract price that matches it.
