About the Company

PrizePicks

Runs fantasy sports contests and prediction markets

PrizePicks runs fantasy sports contests and prediction markets through a consumer app for eligible adults in the United States. Player Picks centers on whether athletes finish above or below published statistics, with results and payouts governed by contest rules. Team Picks and Culture Picks are separate event contracts tied to sports outcomes and real-world events, handled by its regulated brokerage subsidiary rather than its fantasy-contest operator. Its fantasy contests generate revenue from entry fees, and product availability varies by state and pick type. The operating company was established in 2015, and PrizePicks is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
