Fanatics Sportsbook’s legal states

Fanatics Sportsbook takes online bets in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming, plus D.C. It doesn’t take bets in the other eight states with legal mobile betting: Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Rhode Island.

Fanatics geolocates you before each bet. A Pennsylvania resident can bet on Fanatics in New Jersey, and the same account can’t place a sportsbook bet in Delaware.

Novig, a CFTC-regulated prediction market, names every state but Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan as eligible, though officials in Ohio, Missouri, Connecticut, and Washington have moved to keep prediction markets out.

How Fanatics built its state list

Fanatics Betting and Gaming, the betting arm of Fanatics Holdings, launched its app on August 16, 2023 in Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Tennessee after six months of beta testing. The bigger jump came from buying the U.S. business of PointsBet, which closed on April 3, 2024. PointsBet customers were moved to Fanatics state by state, with their balances and account settings carried over, and Illinois became Fanatics’ 19th state two days after the deal closed.

Since then, Fanatics has added markets one at a time. In Arizona it holds an event wagering license through the Tonto Apache Tribe. In Connecticut it runs the book for the Connecticut Lottery, which holds one of the state’s three master licenses, alongside DraftKings and FanDuel through the two tribes. Vermont licensed three apps when it launched on January 11, 2024, and Fanatics is one of them. In D.C., Fanatics went districtwide on September 12, 2024. Missouri was the latest addition: Fanatics launched there on December 1, 2025, statewide on the app and at Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City, under Boyd Gaming’s license. The Missouri guide covers that market’s launch.

Fanatics Markets: the prediction market in the same app

Fanatics began rolling out Fanatics Markets on December 3, 2025, and had it live in 24 states by December 5, all of them states where it had no sportsbook. At launch, Fanatics said the contracts and prices came from Crypto.com | Derivatives North America, an exchange and clearinghouse registered with the CFTC, so Fanatics doesn’t need a state sports betting license to offer them. You buy yes or no contracts on an outcome, and the price moves with trading.

Fanatics’ own state list now covers 44 states and D.C. across the sportsbook, casino, and Fanatics Markets. Taking out the sportsbook states leaves 21 where the app offers Fanatics Markets: Alabama, Alaska, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas. Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin were among the 24 launch states and are missing from the current list.

States don’t treat these contracts like a licensed sportsbook. Several have ordered prediction markets out with cease-and-desist letters or taken them to court, and the prediction market crackdowns tracker lists each action.

States without Fanatics

Fanatics has no sportsbook in eight states with legal mobile betting. Several are closed markets. Delaware, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Rhode Island run online betting through their lotteries with one app each, Florida’s compact gives the Seminole Tribe’s Hard Rock Bet the only app, and Maine’s mobile market belongs to the four Wabanaki Nations and their partners, DraftKings and Caesars. The guide on how to check a sportsbook’s license links each state’s regulator list.

Arkansas, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin don’t appear on Fanatics’ list for any product.

Fanatics online casino states

Fanatics Casino runs in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, the same four states where BetMGM and Caesars run their online casinos. Everywhere else, the Fanatics app is sportsbook-only or Fanatics Markets-only.
