FanDuel Predicts Adds Crypto.com Exchange Partnership, Expanding Sports Event Contracts for the World Cup

FanDuel expanded its prediction market platform on June 10 through a partnership with Crypto.com’s CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, OG Prediction Markets, adding new sports and entertainment event contracts to FanDuel Predicts just as the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off. The expansion gives FanDuel customers access to a wider variety of market types and marks the platform’s second exchange partnership alongside its existing arrangement with CME Group.

The new contracts include both individual event contracts and combination markets that allow traders to take positions on linked or correlated outcomes. Customers began seeing offerings from OG Prediction Markets appear alongside existing CME Group contracts during the first week of June.

Why This Matters for Sports Bettors in Non-Betting States

FanDuel Predicts launched in five US states in December 2025 before expanding nationally. The platform currently offers sports contracts in 18 states where traditional online sports betting is not yet legal — including California, Texas, and Florida. For sports fans in those states, prediction markets represent one of the few legal options to trade on game outcomes and sporting events.

“FanDuel Predicts was built to deliver a best-in-class prediction market experience to our customers. These additional product sets give our customers more choices by expanding the breadth of sports and entertainment contracts on our platform,” said James Cooper, senior vice president of Flywheel and New Ventures at FanDuel.

Flutter’s Long-Term Prediction Market Investment

The Crypto.com partnership fits into a broader strategic push by FanDuel’s parent company Flutter Entertainment. During Flutter’s first-quarter earnings call in May, CEO Peter Jackson described FanDuel Predicts as generating modest revenue so far, but Flutter has committed to investing between $250 million and $300 million in the prediction market business during 2026. The strategy positions FanDuel to build a customer base in states where sports betting legalization remains uncertain.

OG Prediction Markets holds a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse designation, which means contracts traded through the platform fall under federal financial regulation rather than state gambling law — the same legal framework that has allowed platforms like Kalshi to operate nationwide.
