PrizePicks is on its way to The First State and the Show-Me State.

The daily fantasy sports company today announced it has been awarded daily fantasy sports licenses in both Delaware and Missouri. PrizePicks will soon be launching its peer-to-peer Arena contest in both states.

PrizePicks Arena game is now legal in 15 states.

Launch Details Coming Soon

PrizePicks did not reveal when its peer-to-peer Arena game would launch, but noted on X that it would reveal additional launch details sometimes next week.

“We are proud that Arena has been approved in every state where it has been submitted. We’ve seen strong player adoption to date and we look forward to replicating our success in these new markets with a fun gaming experience,” said PrizePicks CEO Mike Ybarra. “We’d like to extend our gratitude to the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Delaware Lottery, and the Missouri Gaming Commission for their thoughtful collaboration.”

Since launching in January, players on Arena have built over 20 million peer-to-peer lineups. Arena is currently live for those who are over 18 in Alaska, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Oregon, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Arena is also available for those over 19 in Alabama and Colorado, and in Arizona and Massachusetts for customers over 21.

PrizePicks is now operating in 44 jurisdictions.

Lawsuit Still Looms in Massachusetts

In other PrizePicks news, no further movement has been reported in a lawsuit recently filed against the company, and fellow DFS operators Underdog Fantasy and Yahoo Fantasy Sports, by a Massachusetts man who claims the two operators offered illegal sports betting in the commonwealth.

Plaintiff Joseph P. Curran filed a lawsuit against the three companies in Essex County Superior Court on Thursday, Oct. 17. His counsel is seeking damages equal to triple the total amount bet on the markets by customers in the commonwealth through March.

The lawsuit alleges that the offerings from Underdog Sports, PrizePicks, and Yahoo Fantasy Sports in which users played pick’em games against the house were actually unlicensed sports bets, as opposed to fantasy sports offerings.

The traditional peer-to-house pick’em games were offered by the companies through at least March 6, 2024, in the state.

PrizePicks had no comment on the lawsuit, but a representative for Underdog Fantasy spoke out on the filed suit last week.

“He never even played on our platform. It’s a completely transparent phishing attempt by a plaintiff’s lawyer, and it will get dismissed sooner rather than later. It’s a press release searching for a legal theory, trying to extract a settlement. We continue to offer our product in compliance with Massachusetts law,” the spokesperson said.
