It’s the first officially licensed DFS platform in Puerto Rico! PrizePicks continues its expansion across the US, and it’s also now fully accessible in Maine.
Great news for Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) players: PrizePicks is now 100% licensed in Puerto Rico and Maine! This is not only a huge step in their nationwide expansion across the US, but they are also becoming the first DFS operator with a gambling license in Puerto Rico.
As for Maine, they will be entering the territory with a product called "Arena". This is a "Pick-em" style game where you gamble on two or more players' stats and performance. If your pick hits, you'll earn a cash reward.
While players can access PrizePicks in Maine today, Puerto Rico will have to wait a little longer. The license will take more time to be effective in their territory, and it's expected to start working "in the coming months".
With PrizePicks' expansion, users now have access to one of the most well-known gambling sites in the market. There are even YouTube accounts like DGFantasy that will teach newcomers how to start playing on their platform. However, some creators have harmful messages to make some players believe there's an easy way to earn money. As with every gambling platform, we advise players to use it for entertainment and not for profit.

Why is PrizePicks' expansion in Puerto Rico and Maine important?
Currently, PrizePicks is one of the platforms that invest in responsible gambling. The platform received the "iCAP accreditation by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) for its Responsible Gaming practices and efforts", as they said in their press release.
The Internet Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) is an accreditation that focuses on protecting players with tools and services to keep them safe. Thus, Prizepicks had to complete evaluations and independent audits to earn it.
We’re grateful to the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission and the Maine Gambling Control Unit for their partnership and support throughout the licensure process. We’ve seen tremendous engagement with Arena across the country, and we’re confident that momentum will carry into these new jurisdictions.”
