UPDATE: FanDuel Predicts has officially launched in five states—Alabama, Alaska, South Carolina, North Dakota, and South Dakota—marking a significant step in its phased national rollout. The prediction market platform is set to expand to additional states early next year, promising millions of U.S. customers access to its innovative features in the coming months.
The new mobile application is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play. This launch coincides with a surge in interest in prediction markets, as rival companies like DraftKings have recently introduced their own platforms across 38 states.
FanDuel Predicts allows users to engage with a range of event contracts, including financial benchmarks like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and economic indicators such as oil prices, gold, and even cryptocurrencies. Sports enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to place contracts on events in baseball, basketball, football, and hockey—especially in states where online sports betting is not yet legalized.
James Cooper, Senior Vice President of Flywheel and New Ventures at FanDuel, emphasized the platform’s goal to enhance customer engagement:
“We’re giving our customers a new platform to engage with the world around them – whether that’s the next Fed rate decision or a sports event.”
The phased launch is designed to gather valuable insights into user interaction, allowing FanDuel to refine its approach before expanding to more states in 2026. Although specific dates for the broader rollout remain undisclosed, the strategy aims to adapt to customer feedback and market trends.
Lynne Fitzpatrick, President and Chief Financial Officer at CME Group, highlighted the significance of this launch, stating,
“CME Group prediction markets will enable a new generation of users to express their views on global benchmarks, economic indicators, sports, and more.”
As FanDuel Predicts enters the market, it not only offers new opportunities for sports and financial engagement but also aims to redefine how users interact with critical economic and sports events. Whether interested in financial trends or sports outcomes, users will be equipped with a versatile platform that reflects today’s dynamic market landscape.
Stay tuned for further updates as FanDuel expands its reach across the United States, bringing this innovative betting experience to even more states in the near future.
