DraftKings Predictions
DraftKings Predictions is the prediction market app from DraftKings, selling yes-or-no contracts on events. How it differs from its sportsbook.
US event contracts, not a licensed sportsbook product
This brand is not licensed in the markets we cover (or only in part of them), so it has no Wayfinder Score. If you play there, you do not get the protections a local licence brings: limits, self-exclusion and a regulator to complain to.

How it works
DraftKings Predictions sells contracts on the outcome of events, including sports results. Each contract pays a fixed amount if the prediction comes true and nothing otherwise, and the price moves with demand. It runs under federal derivatives rules rather than state sports betting licences.
It is a separate product from the licensed DraftKings Sportsbook.
Where it stands
Sports event contracts are disputed by several state gaming regulators, who see them as sports betting without a state licence. DraftKings Predictions holds no licence in the markets we cover (US, UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Portugal, South Africa and Ontario) outside that federal framework.
It is not open to players in the UK or Europe.
What to know
A sports contract works like a bet whatever it is called, and state self-exclusion schemes may not apply.
We do not score prediction markets.
