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.
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.
Removal of state-specific availability information for Picks contests eliminates transparency about where a previously offered product is available, which may matter to consumers in the 17 states that were formerly listed as eligible if they rely on the terms document to confirm access to that product category.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
The terms no longer tell you which states can access Picks contests or how they work, though this information may be disclosed elsewhere.
FanDuel removed product-specific operational language (Picks contest mechanics and state availability) from its primary terms of use on April 25, 2026. The removal does not appear to create new compliance obligations but may signal product repositioning or consolidation. Organizations integrating FanDuel services should confirm whether Picks products remain available under separate terms, as the primary document no longer references them. No immediate regulatory escalation appears necessary unless Picks contests continue operating without clear availability disclosures elsewhere.
FTC Act (unfair or deceptive practices); state gambling and sports wagering regulations (depending on jurisdiction). If Picks contests continue operating without clear availability disclosures, removal of state-level availability language may create transparency gaps under state consumer protection frameworks.
