FanDuel Predicts Expands Sports and Entertainment Event Contracts Through New Crypto.com Partnership

FanDuel's prediction market platform, FanDuel Predicts, is adding new sports and entertainment event contracts through a partnership with Crypto.com's OG Prediction Markets, its second exchange partnership after launching with CME Group last December.

FanDuel Predicts is expanding its catalog of event contracts through a new partnership with Crypto.com’s OG Prediction Markets, the company announced in early June 2026. The arrangement adds OG Prediction Markets as a second exchange partner for the platform, joining CME Group, which has been FanDuel Predicts’ foundational infrastructure partner since the product launched in December 2025.

The partnership is the most significant expansion of FanDuel Predicts since its debut and brings the platform in line with several competitors that have already integrated Crypto.com’s exchange infrastructure to offer parlay-style and combination products to users.

What the Partnership Adds

Through the Crypto.com integration, FanDuel Predicts gains access to a new set of sports and entertainment event contracts that were not previously available on the platform. The expansion includes combination products — sometimes described as parlay-style offerings — that bundle multiple event outcomes into a single tradeable contract. Instead of trading on one outcome in isolation, users can take positions on several outcomes simultaneously, compounding both risk and potential return.

This type of product has already been deployed by DraftKings and Fanatics, both of which have rolled out parlay-style prediction market contracts using Crypto.com’s inventory. FanDuel Predicts’ entry into this format puts it on equal footing with those competitors in terms of product structure, at a moment when the prediction market space is seeing rapid product innovation ahead of high-profile events like the FIFA World Cup.

Joe Anzures, Chief Business Officer of Crypto.com, described the reasoning in direct terms: “We are thrilled to partner with FanDuel Predicts to bring a new level of depth and experience to its prediction markets experience. By leveraging our robust, regulated exchange and clearinghouse infrastructure, we are enabling a mainstream prediction markets experience just in time for the World Cup.”

The World Cup timing is not incidental. Prediction market platforms have been building toward the tournament as a major commercial catalyst, and contracts tied to national team advancement, match outcomes, and tournament-level results represent a large addressable market. Kalshi alone recorded $13.5 million in fees on a single day — June 24 — largely driven by World Cup activity.

FanDuel Predicts Background

FanDuel Predicts launched on December 22, 2025, as a joint venture between FanDuel Group and CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives exchange. The CME partnership gave the platform access to institutional-grade exchange and clearinghouse infrastructure from day one, which helped distinguish it from smaller entrants in the space.

The product is currently available in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., though specific markets vary by state depending on local regulatory requirements. FanDuel’s existing user base — one of the largest in U.S. sports betting — gave the platform a significant distribution advantage from launch.

New users to FanDuel’s sportsbook product can also explore a FanDuel Promo Code for traditional sports betting, which remains separate from the prediction market platform.

OG Prediction Markets’ Growing Footprint

Crypto.com launched OG Prediction Markets in February 2026, positioning it as a regulated exchange and clearinghouse provider for other platforms rather than primarily a consumer-facing product. The B2B model has proven effective. DraftKings, Fanatics, and Underdog are all among the platforms that have integrated OG Prediction Markets’ infrastructure and inventory.

The addition of FanDuel Predicts to that list represents a meaningful endorsement of OG as an industry standard. FanDuel Group is part of Flutter Entertainment, one of the two dominant forces in U.S. sports betting, and having Flutter’s prediction market product rely on Crypto.com’s backend strengthens OG’s position considerably.

Competitive Dynamics

The prediction market space in the United States has evolved rapidly from a niche activity dominated by smaller platforms into a competitive arena where major sports betting operators are building products at scale. FanDuel Predicts’ partnership with Crypto.com accelerates its ability to compete on product breadth with DraftKings Predictions, which has been aggressive in rolling out new contract types and combination products.

The broader regulatory context — including the CFTC’s ongoing rulemaking and unresolved questions about which sports event contracts are permissible — creates some uncertainty about the long-term landscape. But for now, the major platforms are moving forward with product expansion, and the World Cup has created a near-term window for significant user acquisition and revenue generation.

For prediction market participants tracking the space, the FanDuel-Crypto.com announcement signals that the platform is committed to remaining competitive with rivals on product depth, not just on distribution reach. The combination of FanDuel’s user base, CME’s institutional credibility, and Crypto.com’s sports and entertainment contract inventory represents a formidable product stack heading into the second half of 2026.
