The sports betting company announced Friday it is debuting DraftKings Predictions, a mobile app and web product that will be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Along with our operational footprint, marketing and analytics infrastructure and advanced in-house technology, we believe we are uniquely positioned to lead this space over the long term,&#8221; Corey Gottlieb, chief product officer of DraftKings, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2025\/12\/19\/3208467\/0\/en\/DraftKings-Debuts-Predictions-App-Entering-Prediction-Markets.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings said its app, which is expected to be available in major app stores within days, will connect with multiple exchanges, starting with the derivatives marketplace CME Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings faces growing competition from prediction markets \u2014 including Kalshi and Polymarket, now valued at $9 billion and $11 billion, respectively \u2014 that enable users to speculate on the outcome of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/polymarket-predictions-accuracy-shayne-coplan-60-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">sports and other events<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In October, DraftKings\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.draftkings.com\/draftkings-acquires-railbird-to-advance-future-growth-in-prediction-markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announced<\/a>\u00a0the acquisition of Railbird Technologies, a federally regulated prediction market. At the time, DraftKings said the deal supports its &#8220;broader strategy to enter prediction markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some prediction market platforms lacking a license for sports wagering have faced pushback from state regulators. Event contracts traded on markets are regulated differently from sports bets, which are illegal in certain states.<\/p>\n<p>Others have criticized the move by prediction markets to facilitate speculation on sports. Charlie Baker, the president of the NCAA, recently called out Kalshi on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CharlieBakerMA\/status\/2001652511233519893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">social media<\/a>\u00a0after the company filed forms to accept bets on the transfer decisions and status of student-athletes, saying it would threaten &#8220;competition integrity and recruiting processes.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We certify markets all the time that we do not end up listing,&#8221; Kalshi said on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KalshiNewsroom\/status\/2001593327058112726?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a>\u00a0on Dec. 18. &#8220;We have no immediate plans to list these contracts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Headquartered in Boston, DraftKings was launched in 2012 as a sports entertainment and gaming company. Among its offerings are a fantasy sports product, which allows users to build virtual sports team lineups and compete against other users, and a mobile sports betting platform called DraftKings Sportsbook, where customers can place bets on sports, players, leagues and events.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>
