Heads up: Your entry type is chosen automatically based on the picks you make and what’s available. Routing to each entry type isn’t guaranteed, and availability can vary by sport and market.
In states that offer both Fantasy and Predictions, we choose your entry type for you based on the picks you make. Here’s how we choose, how to tell which one you have, and how each one pays out.
In states that offer both Fantasy and Predictions, we choose your entry type for you based on the picks you make. Here's how we choose, how to tell which one you have, and how each one pays out.
How we choose your entry type
One player pick: If the prop has a Prediction market, your entry is a Prediction, and you can enter it on its own. If it isn’t available as a Prediction, you’ll be asked to add another player from a different team to build a Fantasy entry.
Two players on the same team: Prediction, as long as both picks have a Prediction market. You don’t need to add a third.
Picks that meet Fantasy entry rules: we switch your entry to Fantasy automatically.
If you’re asked to add a player from another team: Your picks can’t be entered as a Prediction, so you can either remove the pick or add picks from other teams until your entry meets Fantasy entry rules.
Which props you see: Every line you see in the app is available as a Fantasy pick, and many are also available as Prediction picks. We don’t show lines that are only available as Predictions, so if you’re asked to add a player from another team, any other player in the lobby will work. Some lines are Fantasy-only, and we’re still expanding Prediction coverage, so a pick that can’t be entered on its own as a Prediction may need a second player from a different team.
How to tell which one you have
Check your entry slip. If it says Predictions, it includes at least one Prediction pick.
Entries that mix Fantasy and Prediction picks are Combos, and each pick follows the rules of its own product.
How payouts differ
Fantasy | Predictions | |
How you get paid | Based on your entry's multiplier | Each contract pays $1.00 if you're right |
If you're wrong | Entry doesn't pay out | Contract pays $0 |
If a player doesn't play | The pick is voided, and your entry is adjusted | The pick settles at the last fair price, set by the exchange. Example: You buy a contract at $0.60, your player doesn't play, and the exchange settles it at $0.58. You receive $0.58. |
Why can’t I pick a player or see Flex?
Flex is only available on Fantasy entries. If your entry is a Prediction entry, you won’t see Flex as an option. This is the most common reason Flex is missing.
To get Flex, add enough picks to meet Fantasy entry rules. Your entry will switch to Fantasy automatically, and Flex will appear if it’s offered for those picks.
Not every pick is available for both entry types, so you may not be able to build a Fantasy entry with every combination of picks. If a pick won’t submit, follow the on-screen message, which usually asks you to remove a pick or add picks from another team.
What happens if a player leaves the game injured?
If a player plays in the first half of a game but does not return in the second half for any reason (such as injury, ejection, or rest), your entry may qualify for a refund through our Rescue Promotion policy. In that case, you'll also receive a Gimme Pick, which will appear in your lobby the following day. This policy only applies if you selected the Higher option on that player’s selection. Rescue Promotion Policy rules apply to both Fantasy and Prediction Player Picks. See our Rescues article here for more information.
