FanDuel Expands Prediction Markets Nationwide With Sports Contracts in 18 States

FanDuel officially launched prediction markets across all 50 U.S. states on Thursday through its standalone FanDuel Predicts app. The product operates separately from FanDuel sportsbook and iGaming platforms and relies on federally regulated event contracts.

Sports prediction markets are currently available in 18 states. The remaining states can access contracts tied to finance, economics, and commodities.

The initial rollout began just before Christmas 2025, when FanDuel Predicts started offering non sports contracts in Alabama, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and South Carolina. Those states received access to markets covering areas such as interest rates, economic data, and commodity pricing.

On Wednesday, FanDuel expanded sports event contracts into 13 additional states. Several of those states, including California and Texas, do not allow legal sports betting. The launch also marked a rare sports related entry for FanDuel in Florida, where Hard Rock Bet operated by the Seminole Tribe remains the only approved sportsbook, and in Georgia, where sports betting legalization efforts continue to stall.

FanDuel partnership with CME Group in 2025 allowed the company to enter federally regulated prediction markets. That deal placed FanDuel alongside other major gaming operators exploring event contracts as an alternative to traditional wagering.

By Thursday, FanDuel updated its operating map to include residents in the other 32 states. In those jurisdictions, users can trade contracts tied to financial benchmarks, economic outcomes, and commodities only. All of those states already offer legal sports betting through traditional sportsbooks.

FanDuel said it would not offer sports event contracts in states where it already runs a sportsbook. The company cited regulatory clarity as the reason for keeping the two products separate.

Current sports markets cover leagues such as the NFL, NBA, NHL, college football, and college basketball. For users in California and Texas, the rollout marked the first time they could legally select an NBA game winner through a FanDuel branded product.

In addition to sports, all eligible users can access prediction markets tied to indicators like Nasdaq 100 futures prices, the federal funds rate for January, and the U.S. gross domestic product increase for Q4 2025.
