Splash Sports
Splash Sports is a US platform for peer-to-peer fantasy and pick'em contests with real-money entry fees. How it works and where it is available.
US fantasy operator; availability varies by state
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.

- Regulation
- Fantasy contest rules, not sports betting licences
How it works
Splash Sports runs paid-entry contests in which users compete against each other, not against the house. The best-known formats are NFL survivor pools and weekly pick'em contests, where entry fees form a prize pool and the operator keeps a commission. Users can also set up private contests for friends or office leagues.
It grew out of older pool-hosting sites that were brought together under one brand.
Where it stands
Peer-to-peer fantasy contests are permitted in most US states under fantasy sports laws, with a handful of exclusions. Splash Sports holds no licence in the other markets we cover.

What to know
Large public contests draw skilled players who enter many times, so a casual entry is at a disadvantage. Fantasy platforms also lack some of the safeguards required of licensed sportsbooks.
