About this operator
PrizePicks is the largest pick'em prediction platform in the United States, with millions of users making real-money predictions on athlete performance stats and event outcomes. Its "Predict" product lets users pick whether a player or team metric will go over or under a set line, a simpler binary format than traditional sportsbooks. Payouts scale with the number of correct picks in a entry. PrizePicks operates under daily fantasy sports or sweepstakes rules rather than as a CFTC-regulated exchange, which makes it available in most US states including many where traditional sports betting is not yet legal.
