PrizePicks pulls its team betting markets from Missouri after state pressure

Missouri regulators forced PrizePicks to suspend its team wagering options due to new rules.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 8 October 2026

PrizePicks decided to suspend its Team Picks betting option for customers located in Missouri. The company acted quickly following recent legal updates concerning prediction markets within the state. State officials want to ensure that sports wagering products follow strict guidelines and state laws.

State officials crack down

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway recently sent letters to several prediction market operators demanding they stop operations. Officials argue that companies cannot package standard sports wagers as event contracts to bypass the rules. Licensed sportsbooks must pay specific taxes and block users under the age of twenty one.

Protecting local revenue

The sports betting market in Missouri performed exceptionally well since launching late last year. State leaders have a strong financial incentive to protect this emerging tax revenue source. Public schools and problem gambling programs rely on the money collected from legal betting operators.

Impact on local bettors

The discontinued feature allowed users to wager on game winners, point spreads, and totals. Bettors previously combined these team markets with player props to create parlay tickets. Local fans can no longer place these specific wagers through the platform in the state.

What it means for a bet

Missouri bettors must find alternative platforms for team parlays as local regulators enforce strict sportsbook licensing rules.
