PrizePicks is a daily fantasy sports app that operates under fantasy sports exemptions, not gambling law. It is available in most US states, though it is banned in a handful (Idaho, Montana, Washington, Nevada, and a few others) that define it as gambling. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, PrizePicks lets players pick over/unders on player props rather than betting on game outcomes against a spread.
What is the difference between PrizePicks and DraftKings?
▼
PrizePicks is a daily fantasy sports platform — you pick player prop over/unders for a fixed payout multiplier. DraftKings is a licensed sportsbook (in regulated states) that offers traditional spread and moneyline betting. PrizePicks is available in states where sports betting is not legal because it operates under DFS law. The expected value math on PrizePicks parlays is comparable to sportsbook parlays — negative EV for most players.
