What we couldn't confirm: Fanatics Markets' help centre (support.fanaticsmarkets.com) did not render, so no identity-verification or tax-form (1099) statement was found. Whether any listed state gets only non-sports contracts was not found. The availability page has one list and no category breakdown. Fanatics' own pages do not say whether Fanatics Markets is withheld where Fanatics Sportsbook is licensed. That relationship was not confirmed. The 'Where We're Live' page shows no date. Whether the second-phase categories announced for early 2026 (crypto, stocks/IPOs, climate, pop culture, tech/AI, movies, music) have launched was not confirmed. When the account relationship moved from the introducing broker named at launch (Paragon Global Markets) to Fanatics' own FCM (Morton St. Trading Investments) was not confirmed.
