The law in Pennsylvania

DraftKings and FanDuel both offer salary-cap DFS in Pennsylvania, where fantasy operators must be licensed or registered with the state. None of the major pick'em apps (PrizePicks, Underdog, Sleeper, Betr, Dabble) offer paid pick'em here. Players must be 18 or older.

Regulator: Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Recent changes: Sept 2026: Underdog surrendered its Pennsylvania license. Oct 7, 2026: HB 2845 was introduced. It would raise the fantasy age from 18 to 21 and treat over/under picks on two or more athletes as fantasy contests, not betting. It is in committee.
