Is DraftKings Predictions Available in New Hampshire? (2026)
Quick Answer
No — DraftKings Predictions is not offered in New Hampshire as of August 2026. That is DraftKings' own choice, not a state ban: the product is CFTC-regulated, and DraftKings generally withholds sports where it already runs a sportsbook or where prediction-market litigation is active. Kalshi remains available to New Hampshire traders as a CFTC-regulated exchange covering sports and many other markets.

What This Means for New Hampshire Traders
DraftKings Predict is DraftKings' event-contracts product, listed on its own CFTC-regulated exchange, DKeX. DraftKings does not offer its sports contracts in New Hampshire right now — its own choice, typically where it already runs a sportsbook or where litigation is active. Kalshi is a separate CFTC-regulated exchange with its own state-by-state menu.
The practical distinction is scope, not regulator: both are CFTC-regulated, but DraftKings Predict centers on sports outcomes while Kalshi spans politics, economics, sports, and weather. On either, you take a position in a contract that settles at $1 or $0 and can exit before the event resolves. Profits are taxable income; platforms issue the relevant tax forms for New Hampshire residents.
Polymarket's international book is closed to US persons (Polymarket US is a separate, narrower venue), so for New Hampshire traders the main choice is between DraftKings Predict (where it offers sports) for sports and Kalshi for the broadest regulated market set.
