At least one well-known DFS site will exit Florida in the coming weeks, as the Florida Gaming Control Commission sent Betr, PrizePicks, and Underdog Sports letters on Jan. 31 requiring each operator to leave the state within 30 days to avoid potential legal consequences.
The FGCC previously sent the three DFS sites cease-and-desist letters in September for operating fantasy sports games, including pick’em style games, which some state regulators believe is a form of unlicensed sports betting rather than a legal fantasy contest.
Underdog Sports told that it plans to exit the state by March 1. also reached out to Betr and PrizePicks for comment, but hadn’t heard back by the time of publication.

Leaving Florida, the third-most populated U.S. state, is a significant blow to each company. Legal digital sports betting in Florida is limited to Hard Rock Bet, which officially launched its sports betting app in the state in late 2023.
