FanDuel Predicts is the sports-betting leader’s entry into event contracts — a standalone prediction-markets app built with CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives marketplace. Sometimes referred to as FanDuel’s event markets, it lets users trade yes/no contracts on financial benchmarks, cultural moments and, in some states, sports. Unlike most rivals, FanDuel chose a deliberately gradual rollout. This review covers how it works, where it’s live, and how it differs from the FanDuel Sportsbook.

Is FanDuel Predicts legal, and where?
FanDuel Predicts launched on December 22, 2025 in five states — Alabama, Alaska, South Carolina, North Dakota and South Dakota — with a phased national rollout through 2026. The contracts are traded through CME Group, a CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange, so the product sits under federal commodities regulation rather than state sportsbook licensing. Financial and cultural markets are the core offering everywhere it operates. Sports contracts are offered only in states where online sports betting is not yet legal, and never on tribal lands — and FanDuel says it will stop offering sports contracts in any state once that state legalizes online sports betting. FanDuel opted for a slower, state-by-state expansion than DraftKings and Fanatics, which launched broadly (including California, Texas and Florida). Availability is 18+; check the app for what’s live in your state.
Is there a FanDuel Predicts promo code?
FanDuel Predicts is a new, separate product from the FanDuel Sportsbook, and it does not run a fixed promo code. Any launch promotions vary by state and over time — check the app for the current offer, and don’t assume a Sportsbook bonus applies here.
How to use FanDuel Predicts
- Download the FanDuel Predicts app (separate from the Sportsbook) from the App Store or Google Play; create an account, 18+.
- Verify your identity. KYC requires a government ID, Social Security number and banking details.
- Choose a market — financial (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, oil/gas), cultural, or sports where available.
- Buy Yes or No at a price from $0.01 to $0.99 (the implied probability); a correct contract settles at $1.00.
- Set guardrails. Deposit limits, alerts and self-exclusion are built in, with mental-health support via Kindbridge Behavioral Health.
What you can trade (with examples)
The financial menu is the headline: contracts on global benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, the price of oil and gas, and key economic indicators — “Will the S&P 500 close above X today?” or “What will the Fed do at its next meeting?” Cultural markets cover the day’s big stories, and sports contracts (baseball, basketball, football, hockey) appear in eligible non-sports-betting states. Contracts are simple yes/no positions priced between a penny and 99 cents.
How FanDuel Predicts compares
- vs DraftKings Predictions — both use CME at launch and target no-sportsbook states, but DraftKings rolled out far faster (38 states, incl. CA/TX/FL) while FanDuel is expanding gradually.
- vs Kalshi / Polymarket — the pure-play exchanges have broader, more mature markets; FanDuel’s advantage is its massive existing customer base and brand.
- vs FanDuel Sportsbook — a different product: federally regulated event contracts (18+) rather than state-licensed betting (21+), available in different states, and with sports markets that disappear once a state legalizes betting.
Who owns FanDuel Predicts?
FanDuel Predicts is operated by FanDuel, the North American online-gaming leader and part of Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT; LSE: FLTR), in partnership with CME Group (Nasdaq: CME) as the exchange. The initiative is led by James Cooper, FanDuel’s SVP of Flywheel and New Ventures; CME’s President and CFO Lynne Fitzpatrick has framed the deal as bringing prediction markets to FanDuel’s millions of registered users. Analysts have estimated the FanDuel–CME venture could generate significant exchange revenue if it scales like the Kalshi–Robinhood partnership.
Customer support
Support runs through the FanDuel Predicts app and FanDuel’s established help center and support channels, with responsible-gaming tools built in (deposit limits, alerts, self-exclusion) and mental-health services provided through Kindbridge Behavioral Health.
