PrizePicks operates a daily fantasy sports platform where users can predict how well their favorite athletes will perform in various sports. Users choose between 2 to 5 players and decide if each will perform above or below a specific benchmark. The accuracy of these predictions determines the potential winnings, with users able to earn up to 10 times their entry fees. The platform is mainly aimed at sports fans in the United States and Canada, although some states have restrictions on participation. PrizePicks makes money through entry fees and offers real-money games, making it a popular option for fans who want to engage more with sports. The company has been recognized with several awards, including SBC Rising Star and Atlanta Top Workplace.
