Fantasy Sports

Fantasy games that produce outcomes based on the performances of real athletes.

Fantasy Sports are games of skill in which contestants assemble a roster of athletes in a given sport and use the actual aggregated performance statistics of those athletes to determine the contest’s winner.

Fantasy Sports Contest Operators are required to be registered with the New Hampshire Lottery Commission in order to offer their contests to players located in New Hampshire.  

Following initial registration an annual renewal application is required.

Please refer to RSA 287-H and Lot 4000 on the “Rules & Regulations” page for specific requirements and guidance.
