Anybody here playing on any of the daily fantasy contest sites? These sites all have the following in common:
-Offer fantasy contests with one day durations
-Allow you to play for cash
-Are completely legal
-Accept deposit by Paypal and withdrawals by check
-Offer salary cap/points format contests
The three sites with the most traffic are:
Fanduel
Snapdraft
Fantasysportslive
The top player at each of those three won in excess of $10,000 of contests last month. There are also a bunch of smaller sites, including Fantasy Factor, which many FBGs played on during football season last year.
Some of the strengths and weakness that distinguish the big three from each other:
Fanduel: Only site with public chatroom, which gives it more communal feel. Large number of new players, largely due to partnership with Philadelphia Inquirer (philly.com). Allows you to choose who to play against.
Snapdraft: Most traffic, especially for multiplayer contests. Highest rake/fees by far. Does not allow you to pick opponents. Lots of new players.
Fantasysportslive: Oldest site. Lowest rake/fees, especially at higher buy-in contests. Allows you to pick opponents. Mostly more experienced, tougher competition.
If anyone is playing these games, we can use this thread for discussion of the sites, strategies, questions, etc.
Disclosure: I do some part time work for one of the big three, but I think I did a fair job of presenting all three objectively. I'd be happy to share which I'm involved with, and more details about the site, if people are interested and if it's ok with the site moderators.
