DFS in Florida (2025): Daily Fantasy Rules, Apps, and How EPICK Works
Quick Answer
Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) contests are available to many Floridians, but the landscape can change and may vary by contest type. Traditional DFS contests and peer-to-peer skill-based formats (like EPICK) are not the same as sportsbook wagering. EPICK verifies age/ID and location at entry; availability may differ by county or policy updates. Always check in-app for your current eligibility.

What “DFS in Florida” Means (Plain English)
DFS ≠ Sportsbooks. DFS contests are skill-based fantasy games where you build lineups or make player-performance picks.
Peer-to-peer vs house pick’em. In EPICK’s peer-to-peer format, you compete against other players instead of a house book—fees are transparent and payouts are fixed by the contest rules.
Policies can change. Florida has seen periodic updates and headlines around pick’em style contests. Availability depends on provider rules, age/ID checks, and your location at time of entry.
