Not sure if I got all of this correct since I haven't signed up yet to take a look at the site app, but Its supposed to be a daily fantasy sports site that is kind of like a sportsbook because it is about betting on player props of up to 2 to 4 individual stat lines where I believe your picks go up against the house set line for that prop instead of going up against other customers in a contest like in traditional daily fantasy sites like Draftkings where your picking players/lineups at each position instead of player props to go up against other players to see if your score is high enough to come away with some cash.
It's legal in 30 states, DC, and Canada. I'm not sure what the juice is like. It might be a killer, but this is interesting to take a look at if you are interested in betting player props and want to do it in a legal market where your state might not have legal sportsbetting yet but playing at a DFS site like this is.

PrizePicks is more like betting props than DFS. The difference is PrizePicks asks players to pick the over/under on fantasy points rather than the stat line. It’s sort of a combination of prop betting and DFS using DFS stats.
PrizePicks ask contest entrants to choose between two to four players and the over/under on their projected fantasy score. Payouts are up to 10 times the entry fee, depending on the number of picks. PrizePicks offers contests for a variety of sports, including the four major US leagues.
DFS VS. SPORTS BETTING
There has always been a fine line between DFS and sports betting. Some say DFS is another way to “bet” on sports. Others suggest the ability to put together lineups filled with the top-performing athletes over a short time under a salary cap is a unique skill.
DFS proponents say it’s not gambling. And DFS is most certainly not single-game wagering. Instead, DFS players bet on the statistical performance of individual athletes, which is something sportsbooks let you do through props.
Betting on one team to win a game over another remains the exclusive territory of legal sportsbooks. And, that’s the main difference between DFS and sports betting.
Of course, DFS sites like PrizePicks have blurred these lines slightly, allowing players to essentially bet over/unders on props they may also find at a legal sportsbook.
