PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, announced it has received Internet Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). PrizePicks is the first and only fantasy sports operator to receive the recognition. iCAP certification is granted to operators that meet the NCPG’s high standards for responsible gaming and consumer protection practices.

“This certification is a powerful recognition of the culture we’ve built at PrizePicks, and an incredible honor that underscores our unwavering commitment to putting player safety first. I want to extend my sincere thanks to the NCPG for their thorough evaluation, and to our exceptional team for setting the bar as an industry leader in responsible gaming,” said Mike Ybarra, CEO of PrizePicks.

Developed by the NCPG, iCAP is the leading online responsible gaming assessment program in the US. The rigorous certification process involves an independent, comprehensive review of an operator’s responsible gaming policies and practices, spanning Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, staff training programs, work culture, consumer protection measures, RG tool offerings, customer service standards, and regulatory compliance. The NCPG’s evaluation of PrizePicks ensured alignment with the highest Internet Responsible Gaming (IRG) standards, drawing from best practices across jurisdictions worldwide.

“We are proud to recognize PrizePicks as the first daily fantasy sports operator to receive iCAP accreditation. This achievement highlights their unwavering commitment to player protection and promoting positive play, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the industry,” said Jaime D. Costello, Director of Programs at the National Council on Problem Gambling.
