NEW YORK AND CHICAGO, December 22, 2025 \u2013 Today, FanDuel, the premier online\u00a0 gaming company in North America and part of Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT, LSE: FLTR),\u00a0 and CME Group (NASDAQ: CME), the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, launched\u00a0 FanDuel Predicts in Alabama, Alaska, South Carolina, North Dakota and South Dakota,\u00a0 beginning a phased national rollout over the coming weeks. FanDuel Predicts will expand\u00a0 access to financial and sports markets for millions of U.S. customers over the coming months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
FanDuel Predicts will provide customers with a platform to express their views on the day\u2019s\u00a0 biggest stories across financial indicators, cultural moments and sports. This new mobile\u00a0 application will be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play and will integrate\u00a0 FanDuel\u2019s \u201cKnow Your Customer\u201d sign-up process, requiring customers to submit their birth\u00a0 date, Social Security number, home address, banking information and a government-issued ID.\u00a0 Once the Predicts account is created, customers can buy or sell event contracts ranging in price\u00a0 from as little as $0.01 to $0.99 by choosing “Yes” if they think an event will happen or “No” if\u00a0 they don’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The platform will offer event contracts in all 50 states on benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and\u00a0 Nasdaq-100, prices of oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators such as\u00a0 GDP and CPI. In addition to financial markets, sports contracts will be available across baseball,\u00a0 basketball, football, and hockey in states where online sports betting is not yet legal, except on\u00a0 tribal lands. As new states legalize online sports betting, FanDuel Predicts will cease offering\u00a0 sports event contracts in those states.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We’re giving our customers a new platform to engage with the world around them – whether\u00a0 that’s the next Fed rate decision or a sports event,\u201d said James Cooper, Senior Vice President,\u00a0 Flywheel and New Ventures at FanDuel. \u201cThis launch in five states will provide valuable insights\u00a0 into customer engagement with this new platform, enabling us to refine our approach as we\u00a0 expand to additional states in 2026.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCME Group prediction markets will enable a new generation of users to express their views on\u00a0 global benchmarks, economic indicators, sports and more,\u201d said Lynne Fitzpatrick, President and\u00a0 Chief Financial Officer, CME Group. \u201cThis launch is a pivotal step for expanding the reach of our\u00a0 products to FanDuel\u2019s millions of registered users across the U.S.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rollout of FanDuel Predicts will continue to other states through early 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
FanDuel will extend its commitment to consumer protection to the FanDuel Predicts app. At\u00a0 launch, customers will be able to set deposit limits, deposit alerts or self-exclude if needed with\u00a0 mental health services provided by Kindbridge Behavior Health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
