Though FanDuel does take bets on this year's NFL Draft, they are prohibited from doing so in some states where they operate. There are other options such as BetOnline (not available in PA, NJ or NV). 18 and up are welcome to bet.

Why Can't I Bet the NFL Draft From Other States?
Some regulators have placed provisions in laws that prohibit state-licensed apps from offering betting on the NFL Draft for various reasons.
New York, for example, contains this language:
Section 1367 (1)(x) of the state’s Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law:
(x) “Sports wagering” means wagering on sporting events or any portion thereof, or on the individual performance statistics of athletes participating in a sporting event, or combination of sporting events, by any system or method of wagering … provided however that sports wagers shall include, but are not limited to, single-game bets, teaser bets, parlays, over-under bets, money line, pools, in-game wagering, in-play bets, proposition bets, and straight bets.
“The NFL draft does not fit into the definition of sports wagering as defined by statute,” a spokesperson for the Gaming Commission said.
Illinois, Virginia, Iowa and Pennsylvania are other states that offer the FanDuel app but do not offer NFL Draft props.
BetOnline is accessible in these states and does offer dozens of great NFL Draft prop bets.
