BREAKING: FanDuel Predicts has officially launched its prediction market in five states—Alabama, Alaska, South Carolina, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This urgent rollout marks the beginning of a national expansion set to reach millions of U.S. customers in the coming months.
The new mobile app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, allows users to engage in event contracts covering a wide range of topics, including major economic benchmarks like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and more. This launch comes as interest in prediction markets is surging, particularly following DraftKings recent rollout across 38 states.
“FanDuel Predicts will offer a unique platform for customers to interact with crucial economic and sports events,” stated James Cooper, Senior Vice President at FanDuel. “This initial launch will provide insights into customer engagement, helping us refine our strategy for a broader rollout in 2026.”
With the phased expansion, FanDuel aims to introduce its innovative platform across all 50 states. As states legalize online sports betting, the platform will adjust its offerings accordingly. The introduction of sports contracts in baseball, basketball, football, and hockey is particularly significant, as these will be available in areas where online sports betting remains illegal outside tribal lands.
UPDATE: Officials from the CME Group emphasized the importance of this launch for reaching FanDuel’s vast user base. “Our prediction markets will empower a new generation to express their views on global benchmarks and economic indicators,” said Lynne Fitzpatrick, President and CFO of CME Group.
As FanDuel Predicts begins this critical phase, users are encouraged to download the app and participate in shaping the future of prediction markets. Watch for further updates as the company prepares for its national expansion, with more states expected to come online early next year.
This launch not only signifies a new era for FanDuel but also reflects the growing trend of integrating financial markets with sports betting. As customers engage with this platform, the landscape of prediction markets is poised for transformation. Share this news now and stay tuned for more developments on FanDuel’s innovative venture!
