About PrizePicks

PrizePicks is North America's largest independently owned Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) platform. You make real-money over/under predictions on player performances, transforming how fans engage with sports. Serving over 60% of the U.S. population, PrizePicks simplifies DFS, offering a broad range of sports and esports. From NFL and NBA to League of Legends, you play against the numbers, not other users. The platform also offers "Team Picks" for game outcomes and "Culture Picks" for non-sports events like politics and entertainment. PrizePicks launched its "Stacks" feature in 2025, allowing players to include multiple projections from the same athlete in a single lineup. They continuously innovate to provide a best-in-class experience, including free-to-play options like "Streak" and "Free2Play Jackpots".
