By becoming active in both regions, PrizePicks continues its mission to bring accessible and engaging daily fantasy sports experiences to more players nationwide.
Setting the standard for legal compliance and integrity
Securing these licenses demanded strict adherence to regulatory protocols and a transparent approach with both the Maine Gaming Control Unit and the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission. PrizePicks’ commitment to legal compliance goes beyond paperwork—it means working hand-in-hand with local authorities to ensure everything from age verification to contest fairness meets the highest industry standards. This partnership with regulators not only opens doors for business, but also maintains trust among both regulators and players.

With its growing US footprint, PrizePicks’ gaming license expansion enhances its ability to connect with a wider community of fantasy sports fans. Legal operations in Maine and Puerto Rico mark another milestone in the company’s broad US gaming expansion, fueling national interest and sustaining the buzz around its flagship Arena platform. As more jurisdictions approve daily fantasy sports, players everywhere benefit from a richer, safer, and more competitive environment.
