## Products & Services

- **Team & Culture Prediction Markets**: Launched in 2025, expanding beyond traditional player props into team outcomes and culture-event predictions.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed. In 2025, Allwyn International AG acquired a 62.5% stake, implying a significant valuation, though the exact figure is private.

  - Certified as a Great Place to Work (2025).

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-Mover in Pick’em Format**: PrizePicks popularized the simple "over/under" pick’em style, which is now the dominant format in U.S. DFS — far simpler than traditional salary-cap fantasy.
- **Scale & Reach**: Operates in 46 jurisdictions, covering over 60% of the U.S. population, including large markets like Texas, Florida, California, and Georgia (where sports betting is not yet legal).
- **Player-First Policies**: Known for industry-leading responsible gaming features, player-friendly promotions, and transparent terms.

- **Office Life**: Atlanta HQ features regular team outings, intramural sports, community service events, weekly Pickleball, catered lunches, and trips to Braves/Hawks games.
- **Growth Trajectory**: High-growth environment (fastest-growing sports company in the U.S.) with massive investment from Allwyn — strong job security and upward mobility.
- **Engineering Culture**: Product-driven, fast-paced, and focused on innovation (peer-to-peer, esports, AI-driven predictions). Engineers work on high-scale consumer apps with millions of users.
