Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users Users in states where Picks was available

FanDuel removed references to its Picks contest product from its terms of use, eliminating language describing how Picks contests work and deleting the list of states where Picks are available. The company also updated references from 'app' to 'apps' throughout the document and adjusted one sentence to remove mention of Picks alongside fantasy points scoring. These changes simplify the terms but remove specific operational detail about a product category.

1 protection removed

Consumers: The terms no longer tell you which states can access Picks contests or how they work, though this information may be disclosed elsewhere.

What this means for you

FanDuel removed descriptions of how its Picks contests operate and the list of states where Picks contests were available. This change simplifies the terms document but removes operational transparency about a specific product offering. The removal does not explicitly state whether Picks contests are being discontinued, relocated to different terms, or simply de-emphasized in the primary terms document.

What you can do

If you used Picks contests, confirm whether they remain available through FanDuel's app or separate terms.

Key Clauses Affected

Contest winning conditions
