Questions people ask
- Is FanDuel Predicts legal?
- Accounts are carried by FanDuel Prediction Markets LLC, a CFTC-registered futures commission merchant and NFA member, and contracts are listed on CFTC-regulated exchanges (CME Group and Crypto.com).

In October 2026, Casino.org reported that FanDuel separately obtained an FCM licence from the NFA without CME. FanDuel says Predicts is available in all 50 states for financial contracts.

What we couldn't confirm: FanDuel's support centre (support.fanduel.com, including its Predicts help pages) could not be opened in this session because the fetch permission was not granted. FanDuel's current list of states with sports contracts was not found on a FanDuel page. Its map lists 26 Predicts states, but the latest per-state sports list found (press, January 2026) has 18 states. Sports availability in ME, MS, MT, NV, NH, OR, WA and WI, which the map lists as Predicts states, was not confirmed. No FanDuel statement on tax forms (e.g. 1099-B) for Predicts was found. DeFi Rate says FanDuel 'hasn't published detailed tax guidance'. The fanduel.com/predicts page still says contracts are 'listed by CME Group derivatives exchanges' and does not mention Crypto.com. The date the sports contracts finished moving to Crypto.com was not confirmed. The name of the entity behind FanDuel's October 2026 NFA/FCM approval, and whether Predicts accounts have moved to it, were not confirmed. DeFi Rate (April 2026) reported a filing by 'New Venture III LLC'. No state-specific age exceptions for Predicts were found. The 21+ shown in some FanDuel page footers applies to sports wagering.
