What Changed

FanDuel updated their Terms of Use on April 25, 2026, removing all references to their 'FanDuel Picks' product — including the list of states where it was available and how its contest format worked. The terms now only describe traditional fantasy sports contests based on athlete performance and fantasy points, with no mention of the picks-style format where users predict whether athletes will over- or underperform statistical targets. Users who previously played FanDuel Picks contests should be aware that this product appears to have been removed or discontinued based on these term changes.

Consumer Impact (what this means for users)

FanDuel has removed all references to FanDuel Picks from its Terms of Use, including the list of eligible states and the description of how picks contests work. This suggests the FanDuel Picks product has been discontinued or significantly restructured, which directly affects users in the 17 states where it was previously available. If you had active contests, promotional credits, or balances tied to FanDuel Picks, you should contact FanDuel customer support to understand how your account is affected.

Why It Matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Users in 17 states who played FanDuel Picks contests may find their product discontinued with limited in-terms notice of what happened to their accounts or balances. The removal of explicit state availability and contest rules eliminates the contractual transparency those users previously had.

Key Clauses Affected

FanDuel Picks State Availability

The list of 17 states where FanDuel Picks was available has been entirely removed from the Terms.

Contest Winner Determination

Winner determination language now refers only to fantasy points accumulation, removing all reference to picks-based contest outcomes.

Picks Contest Mechanics

The description of how FanDuel Picks lineups are built — selecting athletes to over- or underperform statistical targets — has been deleted.

Institutional Analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Assessment

FanDuel removed all references to its FanDuel Picks product from its Terms of Use effective April 25, 2026 — including state availability, contest format description, and winner-determination language. This is a product discontinuation reflected in contract terms. For operators or affiliates who marketed or offered FanDuel Picks, any related promotional materials, co-branded content, or partner agreements referencing the Picks product may now be inaccurate and should be reviewed. No new regulatory obligations are created, but existing partnership or affiliate agreements may require amendment.

Regulatory Exposure

FTC Act §5 (unfair or deceptive acts or practices): Removal of state availability list and contest rules without prominent consumer notice could be scrutinized if users in previously listed states were not notified of discontinuation. State consumer protection laws in the 17 previously listed states (AK, AL, AR, GA, MN, MO, NE, NH, NM, ND, OK, OR, RI, SD, TX, UT, WI) may require affirmative disclosure of material changes to contest availability. Daily fantasy sports regulations vary by state — operators in those states may have independent notification obligations under state DFS licensing requirements (e.g., Texas Occupations Code Ch. 2001 for interactive gaming disclosures, Oregon ORS Ch. 167 gambling statutes). CFPB Circular 2022-05 on deceptive contract terms is tangentially relevant if users were not proactively notified of the removal of a product they were actively using.
